The incomplete collection of health data is a prevalent problem in healthcare systems around the world, especially in developing countries. Missing data hinders progress in population health and perpetuates inefficiencies in healthcare systems.
This study aims to identify the factors that predict the intention of physicians practicing in community health centres of Bamako, Mali, to collect data exhaustively in medical registries.
A cross sectional study.
In January and February 2011, we conducted a study with a random sample of thirty two physicians practicing in community health centres of Bamako, using a questionnaire. Data was analyzed by using descriptive statistics, correlations and linear regression.
Trained investigators administered a questionnaire measuring physicians' sociodemographic and professional characteristics as well as constructs from the Theory of Planned Behaviour.
Our results showed that physicians' intention to collect data exhaustively is influenced by subjective norms and by the physician's number of years in practice.
the results of this study could be used as a guide for health workers and decision makers to improve the quality of health information collected in community health centers.
健康数据收集不完整是全球医疗系统中普遍存在的问题,在发展中国家尤为如此。缺失的数据阻碍了人群健康方面的进展,并使医疗系统的低效率长期存在。
本研究旨在确定预测在马里巴马科社区卫生中心执业的医生在医疗登记中详尽收集数据意愿的因素。
横断面研究。
2011年1月和2月,我们使用问卷对在巴马科社区卫生中心执业的32名医生进行了随机抽样研究。通过描述性统计、相关性分析和线性回归对数据进行分析。
经过培训的调查人员发放了一份问卷,用以测量医生的社会人口统计学和专业特征以及计划行为理论中的相关概念。
我们的结果表明,医生详尽收集数据的意愿受主观规范和医生执业年限的影响。
本研究结果可为卫生工作者和决策者提高社区卫生中心收集的健康信息质量提供指导。
