BACKGROUND
Countless research has been undertaken in sub-Saharan African countries to provide evidence for health policy interventions. However, despite the bulk of health research, very few studies have documented the experiences and practicalities of conducting health survey fieldwork in such settings.
METHODS
Results were obtained through synthesis of notes on fieldwork experiences documented during a household survey as part of a doctoral research project. Challenges faced and adaptive strategies developed to overcome or reduce the impact on the survey are highlighted.
RESULTS
Key challenges included infrastructure and electrical power outages; sampling and access to clients; ethics approval and political stability; and safety and wellbeing of researchers. Adaptive strategies were developed to overcome the different challenges faced.
CONCLUSION
The experiences highlighted and strategies developed to overcome fieldwork challenges give practical advice for future data collection research in similar sub-Saharan African settings.
背景
撒哈拉以南非洲国家开展了无数研究，为卫生政策干预提供依据。然而，尽管有大量卫生研究，但很少有研究记录在这些地区开展卫生调查实地工作的经验和实际情况。
方法
通过综合作为博士研究项目一部分的家庭调查期间记录的实地工作经验笔记获得结果。突出了所面临的挑战以及为克服或减少对调查的影响而制定的适应性策略。
结果
主要挑战包括基础设施和电力中断；抽样和接触客户；伦理批准和政治稳定；以及研究人员的安全和福祉。制定了适应性策略来克服所面临的不同挑战。
结论
所强调的经验以及为克服实地工作挑战而制定的策略为未来在撒哈拉以南非洲类似地区的数据收集研究提供了实用建议。
