Background: Non-Communicable diseases mortality rates remain high all over the
world where the percentage of NCDs is over 63% of the total deaths. The shortage of
skilled Healthcare Providers with the limitation of Community Health Workers and
poor access to guidelines are the most critical problems for the whole population in
order to access the service delivery regarding NCDs service. One strategy to support
HCPs and Community Health Workers at point of care is to provide easy access to
guidelines using computerized Non-Communicable Diseases Check-up Application
System. Still, people who get the NCD service are only those who have been attacked
and join the nearest healthcare facility to take medicines.
Objectives: The aims of our research are to investigate the healthcare system in order
to improve the healthcare service delivery. And after, we propose to develop a new
system of NCD check-up application system which will be used in urban/rural Rwanda
to test the usability, to understand the perceived needs and attitudes among Community
Health Workers to the use of a NCD check-up application system. This will strengthen
the community of our country to fight against the NCDs refer to the population of
district of Gakenke and increase the level of people education.
Methods: The participants around 319 were selected by using the observation method
to get the required information where the cross-sectional approach is used. The study
was conducted basing on the individual vital sign and check the current status. This
data was collected in the community of Gakenke district with Nemba hospital
catchment area of 232, 966 of the total population and it contains 13 sectors, in each
sector where we predicted to investigate 25 persons data. After the period of data
collection session, the data have been analyzed using a statistical software at the
significant level of p value is < 0, 05 and the confidence interval of 95 %. We have
used the descriptive data analysis and inferential statistics.
Results: The research for Check-up was conducted to carry out the assumption of data
collected through descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. The prevalence
calculated highlights the attitude and phenomenon of the participant‟s population. The
exploration of the calculated variables helps us to estimate the proportion of the
population outcomes. Here, the system will be integrated in the health care structure
v
and the user of the system will be trained for different activities that it will be able to
carry out. The application system will be used periodically in order to give the entire
support for the whole population about the NCDs protection and prevention.
Conclusions: The usage of NCD check-up application system will enhance the service
delivery for the public health and change the people‟s attitude and behavior. It will
increase the level of education in community and make them productive to the country.
During the development and implementation of the system, the design and the
implementation of a NCD check-up application system have to be contextualize in
order to bring it in good functioning mode; the NCD check-up application system
usage will increase the performance needed and it will be continuously monitored
during the life processes. The HCPs and CHWs need to be actively consulted during
all phases of designing and testing of a NCD check-up application system to enhance
its uses. |
