Abstract

Objectives: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to explore the pooled estimate of good job performance among health professionals in Ethiopia.

Methods: We searched multiple databases, such as PubMed, African Journals Online, Hinari, Google Scholar, and repositories, by combining keywords using the Boolean operators "AND" and "OR." Observational studies that reported job performance were screened by their title, abstract, and full texts and included in this review. Data were extracted using a standardized Excel template and analyzed using STATA 17 software. We pooled good job performance in the random effects model. Heterogeneity was checked using the Galbraith plot, I², and Q statistics and identified by subgroup and sensitivity analyses. Publication bias was assessed using a funnel plot.

Results: The meta-analysis revealed a 66% (CI: 55, 77) pooled prevalence of good job performance among Ethiopian health professionals. Higher estimates were observed in studies with a sample size of <350 (72%), conducted in Addis Ababa (76%), after 2020 (65%), and among nurses (69%).

Conclusion: Only two-thirds of Ethiopian health professionals demonstrated good job performance, highlighting the need for implementing targeted performance improvement interventions.

埃塞俄比亚卫生专业人员的工作绩效：系统回顾和荟萃分析。

目的：本系统综述和荟萃分析旨在探讨埃塞俄比亚卫生专业人员良好工作绩效的汇总估计。方法：对PubMed、African Journals Online、Hinari、谷歌Scholar、知识库等多个数据库进行检索，使用“and”和“OR”布尔运算符组合关键词。通过题目、摘要和全文对报告工作绩效的观察性研究进行筛选，并纳入本综述。采用标准化Excel模板提取数据，使用STATA 17软件进行分析。我们在随机效应模型中汇集了良好的工作表现。采用Galbraith图、I2和Q统计检验异质性，并通过亚组分析和敏感性分析确定异质性。采用漏斗图评估发表偏倚。结果：荟萃分析显示，66%（置信区间：55,77）的埃塞俄比亚卫生专业人员良好的工作绩效汇总流行。结论：只有三分之二的埃塞俄比亚卫生专业人员表现出良好的工作绩效，这突出表明需要实施有针对性的绩效改进干预措施。系统综述注册：https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/view/CRD420251013239，标识符CRD420251013239。
