Abstract

Training Healthcare Workers on the Use of Electronic Medical Records in HIV clinics in Kenya: An Evaluation of Three Training Models

Highlights

  • Today, five billion people lack access to safe, affordable surgical and anesthesia care

  • The main themes from the interview transcripts were the need for educational materials, ward space limitations that leads to overcrowding, barriers to patient care such as the limited number of nurses, medication management, and staff-caretaker relationships

  • Interpretation: Our findings suggest that future interventions should focus on the use of educational materials like posters with pictures, pamphlets and possibly mobile technology (SMS) in Luganda, Swahili, and English for patient-family education in the MNRH neurosurgical ward

Summary

Introduction

Five billion people lack access to safe, affordable surgical and anesthesia care. In 2015, the Lancet Commission on Global Surgery estimated that at least 20-40 surgeons, anesthesiologists, and obstetricians (SAO) are needed per 100,000 people. This is far from the case in many countries. In those countries, there is often a general lack of physicians and overall health workforce, but far, there are no studies on the relationship between the number of specialist SAO and the total physicians and health workforce, and its impact on health outcomes. There has been no systematic study of the relationship between various learning approaches and their impact on learning outcomes within this context
