Abstract:
An interview survey of 129 UK National Health Service doctors, nurses, pharmacists and managers at eight acute care hospitals was conducted in 1994. The survey examined several topics including whether the introduction of the internal market had affected hospital pharmacy services and what those effects had been. An internal market has been introduced and it has had significant effects on the nature and structure of hospital pharmacy services. Directorate pharmacy services were available at six sites. Contracts for specific, usually novel, services had been implemented at one site and contracts had been introduced widely at another hospital. However, all the features of a market were not present at any site. Market orientation also has implications for the equity of service provision, primarily because decision-making regarding service provision is increasingly in the hands of the clinical directors, rather than pharmacy managers. The effects of this change are not yet clear.

Abstract:
This paper aims to identify the problems of Community Clinic (CC) services in rural Bangladesh and to provide some policy options to increase the utilization. Here qualitative methods have been used, including document review, observation, fact check and key informant interviews with policy elites. Among those, the option relating to the absenteeism of health care providers at CC, scored the highest total value of 2.7 in multi criteria analysis as well as viable in PESTLE analy-sis. Therefore, the recommended option is introduction of biometric system at the CCs. This system is necessary in the CCs to ensure timely presence of the service providers to promote quality and safety in health care towards healthy communities. This system will also assist in implementing the plan of Digital Bangladesh by directly connecting the CCs with the main serv-er of Management Information System of Directorate General of Health Services.

Introduction. Tailoring sexual and reproductive health programs and services to the needs of adolescents will help adolescents make informed decisions and choices regarding their sexual and reproductive health. Objective. To assess the opinions of service providers on tailoring sexual and reproductive health services to the needs of adolescents. Method. A qualitative study using indepth interviews was held among eight decision-makers and service providers in two hospitals within the Kintampo North Municipality and Kintampo South District as well as the Municipal and District Health Directorates in Kintampo North and South between April and May 2011. Results. All respondents expressed the opinion that it is a good idea to tailor sexual and reproductive health services to the needs of adolescents. They admitted that very limited sexual and reproductive health programs targeting adolescent needs were available in the study area. Service providers also reported very low levels of health facilities use by adolescents for sexual and reproductive health information and services. Health professionals attributed the poor sexual and reproductive health services utilization by adolescents to stigma from the society and attitudes of service providers. Conclusion. There are no targeted sexual and reproductive health programmes and services for adolescents. Services providers indicated that it is important to tailor sexual and reproductive health services to the needs of adolescents to prevent stigma, unwanted pregnancy, abortion, and sexually transmitted infections.

Abstract:
Background: Kerala faces high mortality-morbidity rates from water borne diseases. For the timely management of communicable diseases, understanding trends, pattern and seasonality of disease was important. The aim was to find out the trend, pattern and seasonal variation of water borne diseases in Kerala.Methods: Retrospective record based descriptive study was done to find out the trend and pattern of water borne diseases and to find out its seasonal variation in Kerala. Data from the DHS (directorate of health services) portal during 2011 to 2019 were collected and analyzed.Results: More than 97 percent of water borne diseases are due to diarrheal diseases but no death reported. A rising trend in diarrheal disease is observed. Typhoid, hepatitis A and cholera showed decreasing trend. Leptospirosis shared only 0.2 to 0.4 percent, but death rate was high. Malapuram tends to report most number of cases but percentage share was highest from Kozhikode in 2011. Palakkad reported highest number and Kottayam lowest among central districts. Among southern districts, Thiruvananthapuram reported highest number of cases and Pathanamthitta lowest. Malappuram showed declining trend among northern districts while least number of cases were reported from Wayand district. Seasonal variability was observed in 2011-2013 and 2018.Conclusions: Seasonal variation in occurrence of water borne diseases in rainy season is statistically significant when compared to winter season. Data on water borne disease other than diarrheal diseases is a matter of concern.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In order to enhance human resource development in the public service, the South African Government launched its first human resource development strategy in 2002. This strategy was implemented over a period of four years. It was subsequently followed by another strategy, called the Human Resources Development (HRD) Strategic Framework Vision 2015, which was published by the Department of Public Service and Administration (the DPSA) in 2008. One of the pillars of the latter strategy, which is also the focus of this study, is organizational support systems. The aim of this study was to determine whether the Chief Directorate: Strategic Health Programmes (CD:SHP) successfully implements, as designed in the departmental HRD plan, the three strategic interventions related to organizational support systems. The objectives were to – assess the alignment of the organizational support systems in the Chief Directorate with the overall departmental organizational support systems (as stated in the HRD plan); - identify factors that hamper proper implementation of the departmental organizational support systems in the Chief Directorate; and - propose key strategic interventions to ensure successful implementation of the departmental organizational support systems. The organizational support system pillar has eleven strategic interventions, but, due to resources constraints, only three were investigated. These are: - to promote effective human resource planning in terms of demand for skills and training in public sector organizations; - to strengthen structures, systems and processes for the performance management and development in the public service; and - to groom and foster in-house capacity through effective career planning and talent management in departments of government. The process/implementation evaluation approach, with semi-structured interviews and questionnaire, was employed for this study. A mixed methodology, which covered the breadth of the quantitative method and the depth of the qualitative method, was used in this study. The findings indicated that the CD: SHP is not successfully implementing the pillar as designed by the departmental HRD plan. Among others, the following were identified as responsible for poor implementation: - lack of policy, strategy or guideline on HRD; - understaffed HRD units; - lack of coordination and cooperation between and among the stakeholders responsible for HRD (e.g. Human Resource Management( HRM), Performance Management and Development System (PMDS) and line managers); and - abdication of the performance management responsibility vested in managers. Key strategic interventions proposed to remedy the situation, among others, include: - reviewing the structure of the HRD directorate and filling, as a matter of urgency, all vacant posts; - reviving the committee responsible for coordinating HRD activities; - implementing and coordinating all HRD activities, from the HRD directorate, aimed at developing workplace skills plans and the effective utilization of personal development plans; - developing the blueprint for succession-planning and staff-retention strategies; and - assuring that PMDS becomes one of the key performance areas of all supervisors and managers in the Chief Directorate and that, regarding non-compliance, consistent sanctions be applied across all levels.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die Suid-Afrikaanse regering het in 2002 sy eerste menshulpbronontwikkeling (MHO)-strategie vir die staatsdiens in werking gestel om die uitbouing van dié hulpbron te bevorder. Hierdie strategie is oor ‟n vier jaar periode geïmplementeer en in 2008 opgevolg deur nog een, naamlik die Visie 2015 Strategiese Raamwerk vir Mensehulpbronontwikkeling (SRM), soos gepubliseer deur die Departement Staatsdiens en Administrasie (DPSA). Een van laasgenoemde strategie se steunpilare, wat ook die hooffokus is van hierdie studie, is organisatoriese ondersteuningstelsels. Die doelwit van hierdie studie was om te bepaal of die Hoofdirektoraat: Strategiese Gesondheidsprogramme (H:SG) sukses behaal met die implementering van programme, soos uiteengesit in die departementele MHO-plan se drie strategiese intervensies, veral met betrekking tot die organisatoriese ondersteuningstelsels. Die doel was om – te bepaal hoedanig die gerigdheid is tussen die organisatoriese ondersteuningstelsels in die Hoofdirektoraat en die algemene departementele ondersteuningstelsels (soos uiteengesit in die MHO-plan); - te identifiseer watter faktore behoorlike implementering van die departementele organisatoriese hulpsisteme in die Hoofdirektoraat belemmer; en - strategiese sleutelintervensies voor te stel wat suksesvolle implementering van die departementele organisatoriese hulpstelsels sal verseker. Die organisatoriese ondersteuningstelsel-pilaar het elf strategiese intervensies, maar, as gevolg van beperkings op beskikbare bronne, is net drie ondersoek. Hierdie intervensies is nodig om: - die beplanning van effektiewe mensehulpbronontwikkeling, in terme van die bestaande behoefte na vaardighede en opleiding in openbaresektor organisasies, te bevorder; - strukture, sisteme en prosesse vir prestasiebestuur en ontwikkeling in die staatsdiens te versterk; en - bestaande kapasiteit ten opsigte van mensekapitaal voor te berei, touwys te maak en te koester, deur effektiewe loopbaanbeplanning en talentbestuur binne regeringsdepartemente. Die proses/implementering evaluasie-benadering, met gedeeltelik gestruktureerde onderhoude en vraelyste, is vir hierdie ondersoek gebruik. ‟n Gemengde metodiek, wat die wydte van die kwantitatiewe metode en die diepte van die kwalitatiewe metode inspan, is vir hierdie studie aangewend. Die bevindings het aangedui dat die H:SG nie daarin slaag om die betrokke pilaar, soos deur die departementele MHO-plan ontwerp, te implementeer nie. Die volgende redes is, onder andere, geïdentifiseer as verantwoordelik vir die swak implementering: - gebrek aan beleid, strategie en leiding ten opsigte van MHO; - onderbemande MHO-eenhede; - gebrek aan koördinasie en samewerking tussen belanghebbendes (asook onderling) wat verantwoordelik is vir MHO (byv. Mensehulpbronbestuur (MHB), Prestasiebestuur en Ontwikkelingsisteem (PBOS) en lynbedtuurders); en - afstandoening van hulle prestasiebestuursverpligtinge wat aan bestuurders opgedra is. Strategiese sleutelintervensies wat voorgestel word om die situasie te herstel, sluit o.a. in: - die hersiening van die struktuur van die MHB-direktoraat en, as ‟n saak van dringendheid, die vul van alle vakante poste; - die herinstelling van die komitee verantwoordelik vir die koördinering van MHO-aktiwiteite; - die implementering en koördinering van alle MHO-aktiwiteite van die MHO-direktoraat, sodat vaardighede by die werkplek ontwikkel word en die effektiewe aanwending van persoonlike ontwikkelingsplanne plaasvind; - die ontwikkeling van ‟n bloudruk vir personeel opvolgbeplanning en strategieë om personeel te behou; en - die versekering dat PBOS een van die sleutel prestasie-areas sal wees wat alle supervisors en bestuurders in die Hoofdirektoraat sal toepas en, in geval van nalatigheid in hierdie verband, strafmaatreëls op alle bestuursvlakke toegepas sal word.

Abstract:
In 2003, the Swedish Parliament adopted a national public health policy that included the domain - “A more health-promoting health service”. Strategies and tools are needed in the work to reorient health services. Personal health documents are documents concerning a person’s health, and are owned by the individual. Several studies that have evaluated such documents indicate that they could be of interest in health-promotion work. However, there is insufficient knowledge concerning personal health documents that target adolescents, and little is known about the feasibility of such documents in a Swedish cultural context. The concept of empowerment is gaining increased interest for health services, but the associations between empowerment, self-rated health and health behaviour are sparsely studied. The overall aim of the thesis is to explore a strategy - empowerment - and a tool - personal health documents - that might facilitate the work of the public health goal of a health-promoting health service. Specific aims are to examine the feasibility of using personal health documents in health promotion; to examine professionals’ experiences of working with health promotion and personal health documents; to examine the association between personal health documents and self-reported health behaviour change; and to examine the perception of empowerment in relation to self-rated health and health behaviour among adolescents. Two personal health documents that targeted adults and adolescents were developed and evaluated. Distribution to adults in different settings was compared in a cross-sectional study (n = 1 306). Adolescents received the document in school, and surveys were performed at baseline and after one year (n = 339). Practical use and attitudes by document owners were studied by questionnaires. Teachers (n = 69) answered a questionnaire, and community health nurses were interviewed (n = 12). The interviews also explored nurses’ experiences of working with health promotion in general, and were analysed by qualitative methodology. Adolescents’ empowerment was examined by a questionnaire (n = 1 046). Most participants reported reading in the documents; writing in the documents varied between 16% (distribution in occupational health) and 87% (adolescents). The health document was perceived as useful by 35% of the adolescents. Factors significantly related to personal usefulness were being born outside Sweden, experiencing fair treatment by teachers, being a non-smoker and having a positive school experience. Community health nurses were striving for a balance of being a doer of practical, disease-oriented tasks and a health-promotion communicator. The structural organisation in health care centres was important for their work with health promotion and the health document. Teachers were generally in favour of continued work with the document. In different settings, between 10% and 26% of adults reported changes in their health situations as a result of reading the booklet. Self-reported changes in health situations were less likely using postal distribution, and there were no significant differences between the other types of distribution. Adolescents with low empowerment scores reported poorer self-rated health and more risk-taking behaviours such as smoking and binge drinking. To conclude, personal health documents are feasible to use in different settings. Health promotion in health services needs active support from leaders as well as adequate support systems. Findings suggest that personal health documents can be tools for promoting self-reported lifestyle changes among adults in different settings. There is a close relation among adolescents between low empowerment in the domain of health, low self-rated health and health behaviours such as binge drinking and smoking.

Abstract:
Le monde dépense une part significative et en augmentation constante de ses ressources sur les soins de santé. Les débats sur les modèles de financement des soins de santé et sur les méthodes de paiement des praticiens se déroulent dans le monde. Néanmoins, il n’existe toujours pas de consensus sur le choix idéal des mécanismes de financement. Cette thèse vise à contribuer aux débats sur le financement des soins de santé et sur la politique des services de santé. Le chapitre premier examine la règle de compensation non-linéaire optimale des praticiens, le principe selon le paiement à la performance, le paiement à l’acte et la capitation en présence à la fois l’antisélection et l’aléa moral au niveau de l’offre. Nous avons trouvé que lorsque l’aléa moral est le seul problème, le paiement à l’acte ne peut que conduire à la substitution de la quantité de traitement par rapport à l’effort du praticien, ce qui est inefficace. En conséquence, le paiement à l’acte ne devrait être utilisé dans ce cas. Toutefois, lorsque l’aléa moral se combine au problème de l’antisélection, un screening efficace requiert une utilisation continue du système de paiement à l’acte pour les praticiens à faible productivité et un moindre recours au système du paiement à la performance. L’élaboration de l’utilisation du paiement améliore le screening. Nous apportons des arguments sur l’analyse critique des points faibles du paiement à l’acte. Et, plus important encore, nous établissons les raisons de l’utilisation continue du paiement à l’acte malgré le fait que de sérieux problèmes concernant ce système aient été largement reconnus. Le chapitre deux analyse le problème du contrat trilatéral entre le payeur, le patient et le praticien, lorsque le praticien et le patient peuvent s’entendre pour exploiter des opportunités avantageuses à l’un et à l’autre. En prenant pour hypothèse qu’un transfert secondaire entre le patient et le praticien est exclu, nous analysons le problème de la mise en place du mécanisme où le praticien et le patient soumettent la réclamation du diagnostic au payeur par un jeu de déclaration. Nous en déduisons aussi le schéma optimal de l’assurance et du paiement pour le patient et le praticien. Le schéma optimal de l’assurance et du paiement qui est collusion-proof (faible) est tel que l’un des deux dise la vérité ; mais l’arbitrage du payeur est différent selon les différentes manières qu’il choisit pour répartir les incitations entre le patient et le praticien. De plus, nous montrons que si le payeur parvient à demander aux deux parties de présenter le diagnostic de manière séquentielle, l’avantage du pouvoir de veto du second agent permet au payeur de réaliser le meilleur résultat. Mon domaine d’étude secondaire traite de l’économie du développement. Le troisième chapitre a pour but d’examiner si la migration des villages vers les villes entraîne une éviction des contrats informels de partage de risque et conduit des ménages à une moindre (auto-)assurance de consommation des villages Thai. Pour ce qui concerne la motivation théorique, notre idée est que la migration peut être utilisée comme un contrat d’investissement réalisé à l’avance entre le ménage et l’enfant. Le ménage investit en payant d’avance en échange de versements futurs dépendants des circonstances, ce qui change le processus de revenus du ménage. Pour l’estimation, nous avons utilisé le tableau de Townsend Thai Annual Surveys (1997-2010). L’hypothèse d’aucun biais de sélection est rejetée au niveau du marché de l’assurance du village, ce qui conforte notre conjecture selon laquelle la migration change le statut de partage des risques des ménages à l’intérieur du village. Lorsque les biais sont corrigés, nos résultats montrent que la migration entraîne une éviction du partage des risques informels dans le village et conduit même à une diminution de l’(auto)assurance de consommation des ménages Thai
The world spends a significant and increasing share of its resources on health care. The debates on the models of health care financing and the methods of payment for the physician continue all over the world. Nevertheless, there is still no consensus on the ideal choice of financing mechanisms. This thesis aims at contributing to the debates on the health care financing and health service policy. Chapter one examines the optimal non-linear compensation rule of physicians under pay-for-performance, fee-for-service and capitation in the presence of both adverse selection and moral hazard on the supply side. We found that when moral hazard is the only problem, fee-for-service can only lead to the substitution of treatment quantity to physician’s effort, which is inefficient. Consequently, fee-for-service payments should not be used in this case. However, when moral hazard is combined with the adverse selection issue, an efficient screening requires a continued use of fee-for-service for the lower productivity physicians and less pay-for-performance. The design of the use of fee-for-service effectively improves screening. We provide an argument for the criticism on the shortcomings of fee-for-service. More importantly, we also provide a rationale for the continued use of fee-for-service payment even though the serious problems with fee-for-service have been widely acknowledged. Chapter two analyzes the three-party contracting problem among the payer, the patient and the physician when the patient and the physician may collude to exploit mutually beneficial opportunities. Under the hypothesis that side transfer is ruled out, we analyze the mechanism design problem when the physician and the patient submit the claim to the payer through a reporting game. We also derive the optimal insurance payment scheme for the patient and the physician. The insurance payment scheme which is (weak) collusion-proof is such that it is sufficient that one of them tells the truth ; but the payer’s trade-offs are different when he chooses different manners of splitting incentives between the patient and the physician. Moreover, we show that if the payer is able to ask the two parties to report the diagnosis sequentially, the advantage of the veto power of the second agent allows the payer to achieve the first best outcome. My secondary field is Development Economics. The third chapter examines whether migration crowds out informal risk-sharing contracts and leads to less consumption insurance for households in Thai villages. For the theoretical motivation, our idea is that migration may be used as a cash-in-advance contract between the household and the child. The household invests upfront in exchange for future state-contingent remittance which changes the income process of the household. For the estimation, We use the panel from Townsend Thai Annual Surveys (1997-2010). The hypothesis of no selection bias is rejected at within village insurance market level, which supports our conjecture that migration changes the risk-sharing status of households within village. After the bias are corrected, our results show that migration crowds out informal risk-sharing within village and even leads to less consumption insurance for households in Thai villages

Abstract:
In common with other areas of public services, recent years have seen a shift in the National Health Service (NHS), with increased power and authority transferring from professionals towards the users of services. As a result, user involvement has come to form a central element of government policy on public services, and health in particular, with a series of specific policy commitments to give users a stronger voice and to involve them in the health service having been published by both the Westminster and Scottish parliaments. These seek to increase users’ involvement in making decisions about their own care and treatment, in examining and improving the quality of services and in policy and planning activity. In doing so, this policy aspires to respond to the changing culture of personal and societal expectations of health and the health service; to build democratic participation in the difficult targeting and rationing decisions faced by health agencies and, thus, to help renew public trust and strengthen confidence in the NHS. These are ambitious aims with far-reaching implications as they represent a transformation in the interaction between users, health professionals and health policy makers. This thesis examined how this policy has been understood and implemented in the NHS by exploring the scope, relevance and quality of the user involvement processes available in three health service settings. In order to develop a better understanding of the issues in user involvement it explored the nature of user participation; the character of user representation and the barriers and facilitators to user involvement in maternity, gynaecological oncology and mental health services. The study examined the response to this policy within these three settings; the functioning of existing user involvement mechanisms and their capacity to involve users in determining their individual health care and in shaping health services and policy to their definition of need. From this examination it defined the key features of a model process for user involvement within the professional service culture and organisational ethos of the NHS. The study then drew conclusions on the capacity of these current user involvement processes to deliver on the policy directive to develop both individual treatment and health services in ways that are responsive and accountable to users. Finally, the thesis identified those areas that require further research before proposing the lessons for the further development of this significant and potentially influential policy directive.

Abstract:
Empirical studies focusing on the subjective experience of health among patients in contact with the mental health services are rare and most questionnaires are based on a medical model that emphasizes objectively observed disease-oriented health indicators. In studies I and II perceptions of the concept of health among patients and nurses in mental health services were explored and described using a phenomenographic approach. The perceptions and description categories that emerged from these studies were transformed into a number of items forming a questionnaire intended to measure subjectively experienced health among patients in mental health services. In study III, a randomly selected sample was used to test the psychometric properties of the new Health Questionnaire. A factor analysis revealed three factors labelled Autonomy, Social Involvement and Comprehensibility. The purpose of study IV was to examine the construct validity of the Health Questionnaire. The hypothesis was that subjectively experienced health would be positively associated to self-esteem, empowerment and quality of life, and negatively associated to psychiatric symptoms, perceived stigmatization experiences and perceived attitudes of devaluation and discrimination. This hypothesis was mainly confirmed insofar that overall health was positively correlated to self-esteem, empowerment and quality of life and negatively correlated to symptoms, attitudes of devaluation and discrimination and rejection experiences. The results of this thesis show that health is more than just an absence of disease and support a focus on health promotion interventions in mental health care.

Abstract:
Early child development is related to early education, health, nutrition, and psychosocial development; therefore, the holistic concept of early approach combines elements from the area of stimulation of the child, health, nutrition, speech therapy, psychological counselling, physical development support, etc. The need for the development of integrated early education services and their extension to the area of 0-3 years are priorities of the European strategies assumed through a complex of educational policy measures, having as a priority the development of quality early education services for the benefit of all prerequisites for lowering the schooling rate (Strategy for early childhood education, Strategy for parental education, Strategy for reducing early school leaving in Romania, Study on the evaluation of public policies in the field of early childhood education - Saber Early Childhood). In this context of the development of early childhood education, numerous inequalities are identified in the implementation of European and national strategies and programs in the development of early childhood education services, supported by economic, political, social factors, etc. In order to make them compatible at European level, we consider it necessary to support training and development programs for staff providing educational services in early childhood education institutions. The purpose of this study is to acknowledge the opinion of the bodies with attributions in the pre-kindergarten and preschool education in Romania, as well as of the civil society and public opinion, as a prerequisite for identifying school policy measures and developing programs for training the teaching staff so as to be able to provide educational services in early childhood education (representatives responsible for early childhood education in school inspectorates and Houses of the Teaching Staff, teaching staff in preschool educational institutions, representatives of the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection, representatives of the Social Assistance Directorate, managers of nursery schools, representatives of NGOs and other categories of organizations with experience in the field, parents and interested representatives of the civil society and public opinion). The present study is a qualitative research based on the focus-group method, but also a quantitative research by using the questionnaire-based survey, being carried out on a representative sample of 100 persons (2 focus-group of 25 persons, respectively 50 persons involved in the survey-based questionnaire). The conclusions of this study highlight the need to restructure the system of early childhood education in Romania through interventions at the legislative level and ensure a unitary system of policy and intervention in early childhood education. Also, we believe it is imperative to reorganize the training system of the human resource, by developing complementary competences of the teaching staff, adapted to the training needs of the early childhood population, ensuring a valuable inclusive and integrated intervention.
