Self-care as an extension of health care systems can increase access to care. The development of programs and generation of evidence to support self-care in sexual and reproductive health (SRH) is a relatively nascent field. We undertook a study to identify and prioritize evidence gaps for SRH self-care.
We used the CHNRI methodology and administered two online surveys to stakeholders affiliated with major self-care networks. The first survey was used to identify evidence gaps, and the second to prioritize them using predetermined criteria.
We received 51 responses to the first survey and 36 responses to the second. Many evidence gaps focused on awareness of and demand for self-care options and best mechanisms for supporting users of self-care with information, counseling and linkages to care.
A priority area of work ahead should be determining which aspects of the learning agenda reflect gaps in evidence and which reflect a need to effectively synthesize and disseminate existing evidence.
自我保健作为卫生保健系统的延伸，可以增加获得护理的机会。制定支持性与生殖健康（SRH）自我保健的项目并生成相关证据是一个相对较新的领域。我们开展了一项研究，以确定性与生殖健康自我保健的证据差距并确定其优先顺序。
我们使用了CHNRI方法，并对主要自我保健网络的利益相关者进行了两次在线调查。第一次调查用于确定证据差距，第二次调查则使用预先确定的标准对这些差距进行优先排序。
第一次调查收到了51份回复，第二次调查收到了36份回复。许多证据差距集中在对自我保健选项的认识和需求，以及为自我保健使用者提供信息、咨询和护理联系的最佳机制上。
未来工作的一个优先领域应该是确定学习议程的哪些方面反映了证据差距，哪些方面反映了有效综合和传播现有证据的需求。
