Human resources for rehabilitation are often a neglected component of health services strengthening and workforce development. This may be partly related to weaknesses in the available research evidence inform advocacy programmatic strategies. The objective this study was quantitatively describe global situation terms supply need human health-related services, as basis strategy development physical medicine. Data assessing rehabilitative personnel were extracted analyzed from statistical...
Introduction . Hypertension is an important public health challenge in both economically developing and developed countries. It one of the risk factors for cardiovascular mortality. Data available on hypertension urban population but few studies are reported rural areas. Materials Methods was a community based cross-sectional study conducted two areas Delhi among 1005 subjects selected using systematic random sampling method. WHO STEPS approach used to collect data. Blood pressure, body mass...
Despite the undoubted importance of human resources to functions health systems, there is little consistency between countries in how resource strategies are monitored and evaluated. This paper presents an integrated approach for developing evidence base on (HRH) support decision-making, drawing a framework systems performance assessment. Conceptual methodological issues selecting indicators HRH monitoring evaluation discussed, range primary secondary data sources that might be used generate...
This study examines the associations between multimedia behavior change communication (BCC) campaigns and women's men's use of intention to modern contraceptive methods in target areas Uganda. Data are drawn primarily from 1997 1999 Delivery Improved Services for Health (DISH) evaluation surveys, which collected information representative samples women men reproductive age districts served by DISH project. Additional time‐trend analyses rely on data 1995 Uganda Demographic Survey. Logistic...
Abstract Background There is increasing attention, globally and in countries, to monitoring addressing the health systems human resources inputs, processes outputs that impede or facilitate progress towards achieving Millennium Development Goals for maternal child health. We reviewed situation of (HRH) 68 low- middle-income countries together account over 95% all deaths. Methods collected analysed cross-nationally comparable data on HRH availability, distribution, roles functions from new...
As health systems worldwide continue to face workforce challenges exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic, chiropractors can play an important role in meeting increasing needs for rehabilitation services. However, limited evidence from some countries suggests chiropractic does not reflect diversity of population it serves. This observational study quantifies chiropractor Canada gender and ethnocultural composition earnings, as tracers equity inclusion within this healthcare profession. We used...
OBJECTIVE: To identify underlying causes, contributing factors, and quality-improvement opportunities of pregnancy-related hemorrhage deaths. METHODS: The California Pregnancy-Associated Mortality Review examined deaths in that occurred 2014–2018. Data were abstracted from multiple sources (vital records, hospital encounter data, medical coroner or autopsy reports). A multidisciplinary expert panel reviewed all case summaries. reviews aggregated to determine causes death, preventability, at...
Demographic and health surveys identified the trends determinants of fertility behavior among northeastern Brazilian adolescents in 1986 1991 1996. Discrete-time hazard models estimated probability a woman having first birth during adolescence evaluated individual environmental factors influencing personal choices. Data showed that factor most strongly consistently associated with giving was young womans level educational attainment. Adolescents who had not attended school beyond primary...
This article examines whether increased years of schooling exercised a consistent impact on delayed childbearing in sub-Saharan Africa. Data were drawn from Demographic and Health Surveys conducted eight countries over the period 1987-1999. Multiple
Human resources are an essential element of a health system's inputs, and yet there is huge disparity among countries in how human resource policies strategies developed implemented. The analysis the impacts services on population well-being attracts more interest than situation workforce this area. This article presents international comparison terms skill mix, sociodemographics other labour force characteristics, order to establish evidence base for monitoring evaluation health. Profiles...
Contraceptive prevalence is relatively high in Brazil (55% among women of reproductive age). However, reversible methods account for less than half the method mix and widespread differences persist across regions social groups. This draws attention to need monitoring family planning service-related outcomes that might be linked with quality care. The present study examines factors associated discontinuation, failure switching current contraceptive users, a focus on sub-national assessment....
BACKGROUND: Imbalance in the distribution of human resources for health (HRH), eventually leading to inequities services delivery and population outcomes, is an issue social political concern many countries. However, empirical evidence support decision-making often fragmented, standard data sources that can potentially produce statistics relevant remain underused, especially developing This study investigated uses demographic census monitoring geographical imbalance workforce three...
Health facility assessments are being increasingly used to measure and monitor indicators of health workforce performance, but the global evidence base remains weak. Partly this is due wide variability in assessment methods tools, hampering comparability across within countries over time. The World Organization coordinated a series facility-based surveys using common approach six countries: Chad, Côte d'Ivoire, Jamaica, Mozambique, Sri Lanka Zimbabwe. objectives were twofold: inform...
To estimate trends and determinants of sexual initiation contraceptive use among adolescent women in Northeast Brazil, multivariate logistic hazard models are used that draw on data from three Demographic Health Surveys conducted there between 1986 1996. Educational attainment is the variables found to be associated most consistently with differential risk engaging first intercourse during adolescence, including premarital intercourse, initiation. Greater frequency attending religious...
