摘要

由于缺乏基础设施、训练有素的医疗专业人员和卫生意识低下,苏丹在提供适当的卫生保健方面面临重大挑战,特别是在农村地区。Elttondoub村面临着与地方病和慢性病、受污染的水源以及难以获得保健服务有关的各种健康问题。本研究旨在评估Elttondoub村社区领导人报告的健康问题和可及性,并制定有效战略,以改善医疗保健可及性和促进社区参与医疗保健。这项基于社区的定性研究包括与苏丹Elttondoub村庄的社区领导人和居民进行5次焦点小组讨论。样本是有目的的、以志愿者为基础的,由教师、医务工作者、宗教领袖和当地人民委员会组成。通过录音和现场记录收集数据,并使用Atlas.ti9对其进行转录和专题分析。访谈是根据世界卫生组织的社区保健需求评估进行的,并被翻译成阿拉伯文。共采访了23位社区领袖。Elttondoub村存在若干健康问题,包括疟疾、慢性病和水污染。由于交通、财政和政治问题,医疗保健的可及性受到限制。此外,医疗专业人员短缺。居民对常见地方病的健康知识水平较高。主要的健康挑战是使用急救箱和何时寻求医疗建议。医疗专业人员和宗教领袖是最值得信赖的健康教育来源,因为居民在寻求医疗建议时会向他们求助。建议的社区解决方案包括预防措施、改善卫生保健基础设施和组织健康教育计划。建议在溪涧上修建道路和桥梁以及完成垃圾填埋工程是改善医疗可及性的可行途径。该研究强调了通过为社区组织健康培训课程和讲习班来开展健康教育项目的必要性。社区参与和与政府合作解决健康问题,为医务人员解决短缺问题建立适当的环境,并协助居民进行健康教育。通过修建道路和桥梁改善医疗保健可及性将促进交通运输。

Addressing health issues and accessibility in Elttondoub village, Sudan: Perspectives from community leaders.

Sudan faces significant healthcare challenges in providing adequate healthcare, particularly in rural areas, due to a lack of infrastructure, trained medical professionals, and low health awareness. Elttondoub village faces various health problems related to endemic and chronic diseases, contaminated water sources, and poor healthcare accessibility. The present study aims to assess health issues and accessibility in Elttondoub village, reported by community leaders, and to draw effective strategies to improve healthcare accessibility and promote community involvement in healthcare. This community-based qualitative study involved 5 focus group discussions with community leaders and residents in Elttondoub villages, Sudan. The sample was purposive and volunteer-based, and consisted of teachers, medical workers, religious leaders, and the local people's committee. Data was collected through voice recordings and field notes, which were transcribed and analyzed thematically using Atlas.ti9. The interviews were based on the World Health Organization community health needs assessment and were translated into Arabic. A total of 23 community leaders were interviewed. There were several health problems in Elttondoub village, including malaria, chronic diseases, and water contamination. Healthcare accessibility was limited due to transportation, financial, and political issues. Also, there is a shortage of medical professionals. Residents showed good levels of health knowledge regarding their common endemic diseases. The main health challenges were the use of a first aid kit and when to seek medical advice. Medical professionals and religious leaders were the most trusted sources of health education, as the residents headed to them when they sought medical advice. Community solutions suggested included preventive measures, improving healthcare infrastructure, and organizing health education programs. The construction of roads and bridges over creeks and the completion of the landfill project were suggested as feasible ways to improve healthcare accessibility. The study emphasizes the need for health education programs by organizing health training sessions and workshops for the community. Community involvement and engaging with the government to address health issues and establish an appropriate environment for medical personnel to solve the shortage, and assist in educating residents about their health. Healthcare accessibility improvement by constructing roads and bridges will facilitate transportation.
