摘要

导言:示踪药品是必须随时备有足够数量的药品,以满足民众的优先医疗保健需求。这些药品的库存管理不善给公共卫生系统带来了巨大挑战,尤其是在埃塞俄比亚这样医疗服务本来就有限的国家:本研究旨在评估埃塞俄比亚奥罗莫地区西南谢瓦区公共卫生机构的示踪药品库存管理绩效:方法:于 2022 年 6 月 1 日至 30 日开展了同步三角测量混合方法研究。定量数据通过访谈人员发放的半结构化问卷和观察核对表收集。定性数据通过与主要信息提供者的深入访谈收集。定量数据使用 SPSS 26 版和 Excel 电子表格 16 版进行分析。我们计算了缺货率、库存准确率、满足适当储存条件的设施百分比、按时提交报告的设施百分比以及收到的药品数量与订购数量相符的设施百分比。我们使用主题内容分析技术对定性数据进行了人工分析:医院的示踪药品库存准确率为 76%,医疗中心为 72.5%。总体平均缺货率为 24.99%。仓卡更新率为 93.3%,只有 25% 的医疗机构符合可接受的储存条件标准。在已提交的报告中,88.8%为及时报告,72.2%为准确报告,75%为完整报告。库存管理面临的挑战包括供应商和市场供应短缺、价格上涨、培训不足、缺乏支持性监督、信息技术和存储基础设施不足、缺乏沟通以及预算限制:从这一调查结果中,我们得出结论,医疗机构的报告质量、库存记录准确性、存储条件和物流管理信息系统需要改进。因此,卫生部、接受评估的医疗机构和埃塞俄比亚药品供应服务机构应采取措施加以改进。

Inventory Management Performance for Tracer Medicines in Public Health Facilities of Southwest Shewa Zone Oromia Region, Ethiopia: A mixed study.

Introduction: Tracer medicines are medicines that must be available in sufficient quantities at all times to satisfy the priority health care needs of the population. Inventory mismanagement of these medicines poses significant challenges to public health systems, especially in countries like Ethiopia, where access to healthcare services is already limited.

Objective: This study aims to assess inventory management performance for tracer medicines at public health facilities of the southwest Shewa zone, Oromia region, Ethiopia.

Method: Concurrent triangulation mixed-method study was conducted from 1 to 30 June 2022. The quantitative data were collected using interviewer-administered semistructured questionnaires and observational checklists. The qualitative data were gathered through in-depth interviews with key informants. The quantitative data were analyzed using the SPSS version 26 and Excel spreadsheet version 16. We calculated the stock-out rate, inventory accuracy rate, percentage of facilities that fulfill appropriate storage conditions, percentage of facilities that submitted reports on time, and received the exact quantity of drugs they ordered. Qualitative data were analyzed manually using the thematic content analysis technique.

Results: The inventory accuracy rate for tracer medicines was 76% for hospitals and 72.5% for health centers. The overall mean stock-out rate was 24.99%. Bin card updating practice was 93.3%, and only 25% health facilities met the acceptable storage conditions criteria. Among submitted reports, 88.8% were timely reported, 72.2% were accurate, and 75% were complete. Inventory management challenges include a shortage of supplies from the supplier and in the market, price inflation, inadequate training, lack of supportive supervision, insufficient IT and storage infrastructures, lack of communication, and budget constraints.

Conclusion: From this finding, we concluded that facilities' report quality, inventory record accuracy, storage conditions, and logistics management information system needs improvements. Therefore, Ministry of Health, assessed facilities and Ethiopian pharmaceuticals Supply Services should take measures to improve them.
