ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the demands of contracted family doctor service among uncontracted young and middle-aged people in Shanghai Baoshan.Methods:An online questionnaire survey on demands of contracted family doctor service was conducted in June 2021 among 702 uncontracted residents aged 18-60 years from Shanghai Baoshan district selected by stratified random sampling method. The demands of contracted family doctor service, including digital health file, routine laboratory tests and imaging investigation;health promotion;service convenience; home service were surveyed, and the factors related the demands were analyzed with regression analysis.Results:The survey showed that the demands of service convenience (3.8(3.0, 5.0)) and home service (4.0(3.0, 5.0)) were higher, while those of digital health file (3.0(2.0, 5.0)) and health promotion (3.0(2.0, 5.0)) were relatively lower. There were significant differences in the demands of all five contracted services among residents with different gender, age, education level, household register and family income (all P<0.05); while for young residents with different types of medical insurance there was significant difference in demands of all contracted services except digital health file (all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis indicated that female( OR=1.83, P<0.001), high educational level( OR=4.81, P=0.019), household registered in Shanghai( OR=1.80, P=0.004)had higher demand for service convenience; female gender( OR=1.68, P=0.001), high educational level( OR=4.56, P=0.023)had higher demand for home service demands. Conclusion:The demands for contracted family doctor services are different among the uncontracted young and middle-aged people in Baoshan district, while the service convenience is generally most demanded. The study indicates that the contracted family doctor service should be provided accordingly.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To accurately and effectively identify the most critical needs of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) treatment for patients with severe cardiopulmonary diseases, and to better carry out continuous improvement of medical service quality an patients' satisfaction.Methods:Patients who underwent ECMO and transferred from 56 medical institutions in the Henan Provincial People's Hospital Critical Care Medicine Specialist Alliance [the patients who were transported before applying quality function deployment (QFD) from June 2017 to May 2018 were enrolled as the control group, and patients who were transported after applying QFD from June 2018 to May 2019 were the observation group], medical staff in the alliance hospitals, ECMO transfer teams and transfer driver teams were enrolled as the subjects of the survey. QFD was applied to convert the collected requirements into quality improvement elements for targeted improvement measures.Results:A total of 125 questionnaires were distributed in this survey, and 116 valid questionnaires were collected, including 91 from patients (including 27 from the control group and 64 from the observation group), 10 from the medical staff of the alliance hospitals, 10 from the ECMO transport teams and 5 from the transport driver teams. The questionnaire recovery rate was 92.8%. The improvement elements of ECMO treatment for patients with critical cardiopulmonary diseases were ranked according to the importance, and the top five were as follows: the accuracy of the first diagnosis, the specialization of ECMO team, the guarantee of vehicle safety, the seamless responses, and the smooth coordinated rescue protocol.Conclusion:The top five improvement elements should be prioritized in ECMO treatment of patients with critical cardiopulmonary disease in all hospitals of the Alliance to ensure more accurate and timely treatment.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the service demand and capacity for preventing mother-to-child transmission(MTCT) of acquired immune deficiency syndrome in Guangdong, as well as to find the weakness in the work. Methods The relevant data of service demands and intervention capacity of human acquired immunodeficiency virus(HIV)-infected maternal and their babies from 2014 to 2017 was collected, and SPSS 21.0 software was employed to analyze the differences among the pearl river delta area, western area, mountainous area and eastern area, and to explore the correlation between regional midwifery institutions or personnel numbers and the rate of HIV MTCT. Results The education of HIV-infected maternal wasn’t high, generally, mainly in middle school (54.49%). The service demand of HIV-infected maternal was different in each area. The ethnic minorities outside the pearl river delta region (12.96%) and non-local living maternal in mountainous area (43.75%) were high. The proportion of maternal in the eastern area who didn’t know the route of HIV infection was also high (77.78%). The service capacity varies in each area, and the proportion (mountainous area: 41.67%, eastern area: 44.44%) of the confirmation time in intrapartum /postpartum was high among those from the mountains and eastern areas, which lead to poor intervention (the proportions of starting to antiretroviral treatment time later than 36 weeks or untreated in mountainous and eastern areas were 43.75% and 55.56%, respectively), as well as a high proportion of untreated maternal and exposed-infant (mountainous area: 2.08%, eastern area: 33.33%), and a higher percentage (11.11%) of breastfeeding in eastern area. There was no significant correlation between the number of midwifery institutions or healthcare personnel and the rate of HIV MTCT in different regions. Conclusions The mountainous and eastern areas are the weak of HIV MTCT in Guangdong Province, and later detection, less-standard intervention, and lower quality of information management are the weak steps in those areas. Targeted measures should be urgently developed to strengthen the training of the key areas to eliminate the regional differences of service capacity, which is essential to achieve the elimination of HIV MTCT in Guangdong.
ABSTRACT
Objetivo: distinguir as necessidades de saúde priorizadas pelo enfermeiro na consulta pré-natal, e caracterizar a especificidade e abrangência das mesmas. Método: Pesquisa descritiva, qualitativa, realizada em quatro unidades da Estratégia Saúde da Família de Cuiabá-MT, mediante observação participante de 50 consultas de gestantes, análise de 79 registros de enfermagem e análise de conteúdo do tipo temática. Resultados: Nas consultas, os enfermeiros privilegiam a abordagem de necessidades físicoobstétricas. Eventualmente levantam aspectos sociais e psicoemocionais, mas não os abordam como necessidades a serem satisfeitas. Entretanto, as gestantes expressam necessidades sociais, psicoemocionais, de informação, de acesso a tecnologias e de participação familiar na consulta. Apesar do potencial mobilizador destas últimas necessidades, elas não chegam a modificar o que recebe atenção na consulta. Conclusão: É preciso investir na melhoria dos processos de trabalho da atenção básica, na ampliação de suas ações, e na formação e educação dos enfermeiros, tendo em perspectiva a abordagem de necessidades abrangentes no pré-natal.
Objetivo: diferenciar las necesidades de salud priorizadas por el enfermero en la consulta pre-natal, y caracterizar la particularidad y amplitud de las mismas. Método: Investigación descriptiva, cualitativa, realizada en cuatro unidades de la Estratégia Saúde da Família en la ciudad de Cuiabá-MT, mediante observación participante de 50 consultas de gestantes, el análisis de 79 registros de enfermería y el análisis de contenido del tipo temático. Resultados: En las consultas, los enfermeros favorecen el enfoque de necesidades físico-obstétricas. Eventualmente, plantean aspectos sociales y psicoemocionales, pero no los abordan como necesidades a ser satisfechas. Sin embargo, las gestantes expresan necesidades sociales, psicoemocionales, de información, de acceso a tecnologías y de participación familiar en la consulta. A pesar del potencial movilizador de estas últimas necesidades, ellas no llegan a modificar lo que recibe atención en la consulta. Conclusión: Es necesario invertir en la mejora de los procesos de trabajo de la atención básica, en la ampliación de sus acciones, y en la educación y capacitación de los enfermeros, teniendo en cuenta el enfoque en las necesidades globales en el prenatal.
Objective: the objective of the present project is to distinguish the health need prioritized by the nurse during prenatal medical consultations and then to characterize their specificity and coverage. Method: This is descriptive, quantitative research performed at four units of Estratégia Saúde da Família, in Cuiabá-MT, under participative observation of 50 pregnant women during their consultations, the review of 79 nursing records and the analysis of the theme type content. Results: During consultations, the nurses consider the coverage of physio-obstetrician needs. Eventually, nurses elicit social and psychoemotional aspects but they do not cover the needs which need satisfaction. However, during the consultation, the pregnant women express certain needs, such as social, psychoemotional, information, access to technology and family participation in the consultation. Despite the mobilizing potential related to the need mentioned above, they are not able to modify what they are giving attention to during the consultation. Conclusion: It is necessary to invest in improving most of the work processes of basic attention, upgrading its actions, graduation and education of nurses with the prospect of covering the comprehensive needs during prenatal.

OBJECTIVE@#This study aimed to investigate the oral health service needs and dental treatment among 3-year-old to 5-year-old preschool children in Jiangxi province and provide data to support the development of relevant oral health policies, enhance the oral health service utilization and visit rate, and optimize oral manpower and service resources.@*METHODS@#A total of 2 880 preschool children were selected via stratified cluster sampling. Dental examination methods and criteria according to the fourth national oral health epidemiological survey were adopted. Excel 2007 and SPSS 19.0 softwares were used for statistics analysis. Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were performed.@*RESULTS@#The caries prevalence was 49.13% (1 415/2 880) among the 2 880 cases of 3- year-old to 5-year-old preschool children in Jiangxi province, approximately 53.37% (1 537/2 880) of which possessed oral health service needs. The parents of younger children assessed the oral situation better in older age than in their younger years (P<0.05), which was better in urban children than in rural children (P<0.05). The visiting rate of all the respondents was 12.33% (355/2 880), while the visiting rate of children with oral diseases was 17.31% (266/1 537). The top three reasons why patients did not visit the dentist were as follows: children's teeth have no problem, the teeth damage in teeth was considerably minimal, and primary teeth would be replaced without the need for treatment. The influencing factors included lower visiting rate in females than in males (OR=0.499, 95%CI: 0.411-0.606) and lower visiting rates in rural areas than in urban areas (OR=0.428, 95%CI: 0.353-0.519). Subjects with poor oral health and high oral knowledge scores possessed high dental service visit rates.@*CONCLUSIONS@#The prevalence of caries in 3-year-old to 5-year-old preschool children in Jiangxi province is at a lower level than that in the national level. The proportion of the population actively seeking medical services is low, and their main purpose of treatment is to treat rather than prevention. Oral health education should be strengthened, and it should be incorporated to the contents of the kindergarten teacher training program to improve residents' awareness regarding children's oral health.

ABSTRACT
With the universal two-child policy implementation, the birth rate increased, posing challenges to the maternity beds resource allocation. Based on the birth rate and the method of health service demand, we calculat-ed the maternity beds demands and gaps during the period from 2016 to 2020 . Results showed that numbers between 73 478 and 99 004 of maternity beds are needed annually and mainly allocated to eastern and central areas as well. In addition, the maternity beds of different delivery institutions should be adjusted and the hierarchical diagnosis system should be improved in order to alleviate the pressure of the obstestric acceepts in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai.
ABSTRACT
With the universal two-child policy implementation, the birth rate increased, posing challenges to pediatrician allocation. Based on the birth rate, we calculated pediatrician demands and gaps during the period from 2016 to 2020 by the method of health service demand. The results showed that except Beijing and Shanghai, the ped-iatrician supply and demand ratios are less than 0 . 80 and additional numbers of pediatricians ranging from 191 981 to 198 287 are needed to meet the service demands. We recommend increasing the number of pediatricians taking both national supply-demand ratios and gaps by rationally using reasonable enrolment quota and improving the treatment and other reasonable ways to increase pediatricians. In addition, we should enhance information disclosure and guid-ance, and improve the hierarchical hospital visit system to alleviate the pressure of big cities.
ABSTRACT
It is always an important academic and policy issue to understand the impact of hospital distance on Chinese inpatient service demand in rural areas. It employs household survey data collected from 97 villages in Shandong in 2006 and 2008, and investigates the influences of hospital distance on the demand of famars in rural areas. The discrete choice model is constructed to estimate the inpatient service demand function for patients in rural areas. The empirical analysis finds that the hospital distance is significantly affecting Chinese inpatient service demand in the rural areas. The longer the distance increases, the lower the visiting rate drops. In addition, the impact changes with the changes of hospital level; the lower the primary hospital is, the higher the impact would be. It paper provides new evidence for the understanding of the geographical characteristics of medical health care.

ABSTRACT
O objetivo deste artigo foi avaliar a demanda do serviço de saúde de emergência. Foi realizada análise descritiva de 1.647 indivíduos adultos que consultaram no serviço público de emergência de Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul. Pessoas com mais idade, de cor não branca, menor escolaridade, sem companheiro e tabagistas consultaram mais nesse serviço, em comparação com a população em geral. Os indivíduos esperaram em média quinze minutos para serem atendidos, foi solicitado exame em mais de 40 por cento dos atendimentos e administrado medicamento endovenoso em um terço das vezes. Idosos demoraram mais para procurar atendimento, mas foram atendidos mais rapidamente quando chegaram à emergência e tiveram mais frequentemente médico definido e suporte social. Tiveram também mais diagnósticos relacionados com o aparelho circulatório, enquanto os mais jovens consultaram mais por causas externas. A baixa média de espera pelo atendimento sugere que este serviço presta um atendimento imediato, enquanto a grande quantidade de diagnósticos mal definidos indica que o atendimento é provisório. É preciso treinar os profissionais da emergência para reduzir a solicitação de exames e assegurar que tanto o profissional quanto a população estejam conscientes da importância de uma atenção continuada.
This study evaluated the demand of emergency health service. It was performed a descriptive analyses of 1647 adults that consulted at emergency public service of Pelotas, Brazil. Older subjects, non white skin color, lower schooling, without partner, and smokers presented higher prevalence of consultations at this service when compared with the general population. Individuals waited, on average, 15 minutes to have their consultations, exams were requested in more than 40 percent of the visits, and intravenous medication were administered in one third of the visits. Elderly waited longer before searching the service, but they had lowest awaiting time after arriving at emergency service and had higher percentage of regular doctor and social support. Elderly had more diagnosis related to circulatory system, while among the youngest, external causes were the most frequent. The low waiting average for consultation suggest this service provide an immediate care while the great number of ill-defined signs or symptoms indicate that the provided care is provisional. It is necessary to train emergency professionals to reduce the number of tests requested and to assure that either professional as the population is conscious about the importance of a continuity of care.
