abstract: 'Background: A shortage of health professionals in rural areas is a major
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
problem facing China, as more than 60\% of the population lives in such
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
areas. Strategies have been developed by the government to improve the
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
recruitment of rural doctors. However, the inequitable distribution of
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
doctors working in China has not improved significantly. The objective
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
of this study was to explore the reasons for the poor recruitment and to
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
propose possible strategies to improve the situation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Methods: Between September 2009 and November 2009 data were collected
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
from 2778 rural doctors in Beijing, China. A quantitative survey was
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
used to explore health workers'' perceptions as to what factors would
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
have the greatest impact on recruitment and whether access to training
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
had been effective in increasing their confidence, enhancing their
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
interest in practicing medicine and increasing their commitment to
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
recruitment.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Results: Rural doctors were generally older than average in China. Of
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
the 2778 participants, only 7.23\% had obtained a license as a qualified
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
doctor. For 53\% of the rural doctors, the job was part-time work. The
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
survey showed that rural doctors considered the training strategy to be
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
inadequate. In general, the initiatives identified by rural doctors as
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
being of most value in the recruitment of doctors were those targeting
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
retirement pension and income.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Conclusions: From the perspective of rural doctors, specific initiatives
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
that promised a secure retirement pension and an increased income were
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
considered most likely to assist in the recruitment of rural doctors in
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
