ABSTRACT
Objective:To screen appropriate techniques of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) prevention in primary care based on patient-centered model.Methods:The preliminary list of techniques used for CVD prevention in primary care was formed through literature study and focus group discussion. The evaluation index system of technical suitability was constructed by literature research and expert judgment. Delphi method was used to screen and evaluate the list of appropriate techniques.Results:Thirteen experts in fields of general practice and cardiovascular medicine were invited for consultation. The formed index system of appropriate techniques in primary care composed of five aspects: scientificity, effectiveness, applicability, economy and requirement, with the weight coefficients of 0.205, 0.202, 0.205, 0.196 and 0.192, respectively. Twenty-four experts in fields of general medicine, cardiovascular medicine, public health and mental health were selected for two rounds of Delphi expert consultation. The experts′ positive coefficients of the first round and second consultation were 91.67%(22/24) and 100.00%(22/22), respectively. The experts′ authoritative coefficient of two rounds was both 0.92 with the coefficient of variation all<0.3. A list of techniques was developed consisting of 25 appropriate techniques of CVD prevention in primary care. The comprehensive evaluation showed that the top three were techniques of history collection and physical examination, techniques of recognition and referral of acute patients and techniques of patient reception in general practice.Conclusion:Based on the patient-centered model, after screening and evaluation this study has developed a list of appropriate techniques for CVD prevention and management at primary care, which provides technical support to general practitioners and their teams for better care of cardiovascular diseases in their practice.
ABSTRACT
Considering the core concept of the system theory,the author describes the conception,components and main functions of the subjects,the objects and behavioral factors for the popularization and application of appropriate health technologies.This theoretically built up the system model for transfer and application of the appropriate health technologies in Chinese rural areas.
ABSTRACT
This paper discussed in detail the external macro factors and internal key function mechanisms of the transformation and application system for appropriate health technologies in rural areas.The macro components include political factors,social factors,population factors,environmental factors and health policy factors.The internal key function mechanisms include policy mechanism,benefit mechanism and guarantee mechanism.
ABSTRACT
This paper reviews the development of appropriate health technology policy from 1992 to 2012 in Zhejiang province.The evolvement of recent twenty years is classified into several stages and each is analysed and evaluated.This study provides reference for the establishment of appropriate health technology policy and the transformation of science and technology policy across the country.
ABSTRACT
To enhance the capacity for extending and applying appropriate health technologies in rural areas in China,this paper proposes a supportive policy system that incoperates macro,average and microlevels. Thepolicysystemfocusesonorientation, incentives, regulationsand standardization,and its objectives and measures of each level are described.The policy system will contribute to the sustainable development rural health work.
ABSTRACT
Objectives To analyze the influence factors for promoting appropriate health technologies to rural health workers in Zhejiang province. Methods 1957 health workers from county and township levels were surveyed by questionnaires, regarding their use of appropriate technologies. Results The influence factors for rural health workers to employ such technologies include their medical competency, training approach and technical categories. Those medical workers of higher education are
ABSTRACT
According to the basic principle and methods of welfare economics,we analyzed the necessity of appropriate health technology extension,the influence on efficiency and effect of health welfare in rural areas.Meanwhile,by the ideas of welfare economics,we put forward model of technology selection and multi-channel supply mechanism for appropriate health technology extension in rural areas.
