Factors influencing patients’ choice of clinic at Inanda, KwaZulu-Natal

Background: In South Africa, patients are meant to attend the clinic close to their place of residence. However, patients often choose which clinic to attend, which results in overcrowding.Aim: This study aimed to investigate the structural and process factors influencing patients’ choice to attend a community health centre (CHC) in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.Setting: The study was conducted at the Inanda C Community Health Centre (CHC).Methods: Systematic random sampling was used to select study participants. A structured questionnaire was used to collect socio-demographic data and assess the factors influencing patients’ choice to attend this CHC.Results: There were 400 patients who participated. The commonest structural indicator that patients agreed on as the reason they attend Inanda C CHC was because it has enough medication (126, 73.3%). There was a significant difference in the proportion of patients who agreed that seeing a doctor instead of nurse was a reason for attending this clinic with 118 (68.6%) patients from within the catchment area and 170 (74.6%) from outside the catchment area. The commonest process indicators that patients from within and outside the catchment area agreed on as reasons for attending Inanda C CHC were ‘the doctor or nurse explains my sickness and treatment to me’ and ‘I get good quality of care’.Conclusion: The structural and process indicators that influence patients’ choice of clinic may need to be improved at other clinics in this area in order to decrease the overcrowding at this clinic.

This research was conducted by collecting data through a research questionnaire. The sample is 33 mothers who brought their toddlers to the community health centre.

Twenty-three respondents (67.70%) had a poor understanding of diarrhea causes. Twenty-five respondents (75.76%) had a poor understanding of diarrhea signs and symptoms. Twenty-two respondents (66.67%) had a poor understanding of diarrhea prevention, and 29 respondents (87.88%) had a poor understanding of diarrhea management. The conclusion is community health centres should be more active in providing counselling about diarrhea and visit people's houses to give further information regarding diarrhea.

The safety culture of the Ljubljana community health centre’s employees

Introduction Patient safety is one of the key aspects of healthcare quality and a serious global public health concern. Patient safety culture is a part of the patient safety concept. In Slovenia, primary care is easily accessible, and for medical care, it serves as a gatekeeper to hospital care. For several years, the quality and safety at the primary healthcare level have been the focus of several studies. The present study aimed to assess patient safety culture among all employees of the Community Health Centre Ljubljana. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study in 2017 using the Slovene version of “Medical Office Survey on Patient Safety Culture” from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Mean percent positive scores on all items in each composite were calculated according to a user guide. Results The final sample contained 1021 participants (67.8% response rate), of which 909 (89.0%) were women. The mean age of the sample was 43.0±11.0 years. The dimensions most highly rated by the respondents were: teamwork and patient care tracking/follow-up. The lowest scores came from leadership support for patients’ safety and work pressure and pace. Conclusion Patient safety culture in the Community Health Centre Ljubljana is high, but there are certain areas of patient safety that need to be evaluated further and improved. Our study revealed differences between professions, indicating that a customized approach per profession group might contribute to the successful implementation of safety strategies. Patient safety culture should be studied at national levels.
