RESUMO
Objective:Based on the perspective of status-seeking, to clarify the status quo of rural doctors′ subjective social status, and put forward countermeasures and suggestions to improve the subjective social status of rural doctors.Methods:By investigating 1 395 rural doctors in both 2015 and 2017 to clarify the status quo of rural doctors′ subjective social status through descriptive analysis, we compared the subjective social status of rural doctors with different characteristics by using differential analysis.Results:The overall subjective social status scoring of rural doctors was 3.17±0.48, including decision participation scoring(3.30±0.82), income scoring(2.19±0.80), social relationship scoring(4.05±0.61), career reputation scoring(3.09±0.84), career promotion scoring(2.38±0.67), and career value scoring(4.04±0.63). Rural doctors with middle or above academic titles, high-performance levels, as well as those comparable to doctors in township hospitals and self-employed clinics were found with higher subjective social status.Conclusions:Rural doctors held their subjective social status to be at an intermediate level, with higher ratings for interpersonal relationships and professional values and lower ratings for salary and training mechanisms. Positive feedback on the status-seeking behavior of rural doctors is recommended to improve village clinic services and reshape the image of rural doctors.
RESUMO
The healthcare plus aging care is a new type of aging care model that integrates medical services and aging care services. China has successively issued a series of policies, encouraging the localities to proactively explore such a model. The authors refer to the four dimensions of exchange and communication, policy resources, policy executor preferences and organizational structure in the Edwards policy execution model, for analyzing the implementation of such a policy. The study found such constraints for the policy as follows: unclear policy implementation standards, inadequate policy resources of manpower, financial and material resources, differences in preferences among local governments, general hospitals, primary medical institutions, and pension institutions, as well as decentralized and restricted organizational structures. At present, the policy of healthcare plus aging care remains in the stage of exploration and trial. The government should continue to define and revise the policy to ensure the smooth progress and long-term implementation of the policy of healthcare plus aging care.
RESUMO
Family physicians contracted service is an important choice to deepen the reform of China′s healthcare reform and achieve the strategic goal of " health for all" . In order to effectively promote the contracted service, the central government has successively issued a number of policy documents, which are echoed by the localities in their proactive explorations, achieving remarkable results. But there are also multiple roadblocks hindering the contracted service to progress. This article referred to the three-circle theory and studied policy implementation from the three dimensions of policy value, policy resources, and policy impetus. A thorough analysis of the problems in the implementation process revealed such main problems as insufficient family physicians, inadequacy of supporting policies and low level of policy acceptance among the young healthy age groups. The follow-up work will promote the long-term implementation of the family physicians contracted service policy by enriching the family physicians team, enriching supporting policies, and focusing on promotions to key age groups.
