RESUMEN
Objective:To construct a Question Prompt List of information needs for patients with interstitial lung disease, providing a tool for patients with interstitial lung disease to actively obtain disease-related information.Methods:A literature study was conducted based on the three core needs (ERG) theory framework of existence,relatedness and growth. A purposive sampling method was used to select 15 patients with interstitial lung disease from Drum Tower Hospital, Medical School of Nanjing University from December 2021 to January 2022 for descriptive research. Based on literature research and qualitative research, the initial items of the Question Prompt List were determined through expert inquiry, and the items were extracted, discussed, and adjusted, and finalized the list of information needs and prompts for patients with interstitial lung disease.Results:The 19 experts participated in the consultation, with a positive coefficient of 100.0% and 94.7% for two rounds of consultation, an authoritative coefficient of 0.91 and 0.92, and the Kendall coordination coefficient of 0.31 and 0.23, respectively. Finally, a list of interstitial lung disease patients′ question prompts containing 4 primary indicators and 34 secondary indicators was formed.Conclusions:Based on the ERG theory, the research method for the Question Prompt List of information needs for patients with interstitial lung disease is scientific and reliable, and can be used in clinical practice to help patients inquire and obtain the necessary information.
RESUMEN
Objective To understand the job satisfaction of health technicians at township health centers and explore the strategies of improvement.Methods Based on the theory of existence,relatedness and growth needs,both quantitative and qualitative methods were used in the study.The quantitative investigation was carried out with the multi-stage cluster sampling method.The questionnaire for township health center personnel was compiled by the research group as a measuring tool for a survey of 803 health technicians from 45 township health centers regarding their existence,relatedness and growth needs in terms of existence,relatedness and growth needs.The data acquired were subject to descriptive analysis and variance analysis.The qualitative investigation was made by means of convenient sampling in personal indepth interviews.The thematic framework method was used to analyze the contents of the interviews.Results The satisfaction of existence needs of health technicians at township health centers scored the lowest(2.59),followed by that of growth needs(2.91),and the highest scoring was relatedness needs(3.56).There exist significant differences in the scoring of existence,relatedness and growth needs,among different personnel category,gender,age,staffing quota,administrative posts,and academic titles.Conclusions The authorities should emphasize the existence,relatedness and growth needs of health technicians at township health centers,and improve their job satisfaction by perfecting the salary distribution system and perfecting the personnel training system.
