A cohort of mothers whose babies were born over one calendar month were followed up eight to 11 months after being given a personal health record for their newborn babies. Eight per cent of mothers lost the records and three more said they had not been given a record while in hospital; a total of 10% of mothers had either lost or misplaced the record. There were no particular demographic characteristics which identified the mothers who were more likely to lose the record. Most parents liked personal health records and used them frequently, as did the community health staff. Most private doctors, however, did not find them useful. Before wider distribution of such records is contemplated health workers should be adequately prepared, especially doctors in the private sector.
对一批在一个日历月内分娩的母亲进行了跟踪调查，这些母亲在收到新生儿的个人健康记录八至十一个月后接受了随访。8%的母亲丢失了记录，另有3%的母亲表示在医院时未收到记录；总计10%的母亲丢失或放错了记录。没有特定的人口统计学特征能确定哪些母亲更有可能丢失记录。大多数家长喜欢个人健康记录并经常使用，社区卫生工作人员也是如此。然而，大多数私人医生认为它们没有用处。在考虑更广泛地分发此类记录之前，卫生工作者应做好充分准备，尤其是私营部门的医生。
