浙江省农村卫生适宜技术的供方需求调查

目的:调查浙江省农村卫生服务提供者的卫生适宜技术需求及其原因。方法:以分层随机抽样的方法,对来自浙江省两样本县的135位县乡卫生机构技术骨干和16位村卫生室负责人进行有关卫生适宜技术需求和需求原因的问卷调查。结果:县乡卫生机构的技术需求集中在西医技术。技术需求的主要原因是病人多、目前缺少其他有效的技术以及现有同类技术成本高,病人经济负担过重。村卫生室负责人最希望学习治疗肩周炎、哮喘和高血压病症的有关中医技术。部分村卫生室负责人因为没有基础、学习困难,无法承担相应费用和没有时间学习等原因不愿意接受医疗相关的学习或培训。结论:本研究反映了浙江省农村卫生服务提供者对农村卫生服务利用情况的经验判断和技术需求等相关问题,为政策制定者快速评估卫生适宜技术提供相关参考信息。

Towards an Egyptian Mobile Banking Era

Banks have moved towards technology-based customer services such as mobile banking （m-banking）; as an alternative to traditional inter-personal services. However, M-banking still faces resistance that may hamper customers＇ adoption in Egypt. Following a mixed method approach, this study involves two main phases. First, a quantitative Consumer survey is conducted in the form of 350 structured questionnaires to identify the main barriers towards m-banking. Then, decision makers in 5 different public and private banks are interviewed in order to find similarities and difference, and identify service providers＇ roles regarding these barricrs. Questionnaire data was statistically analysed using independent T-Test, Chi-squares, frequencies and cross tabulations, while interview data was interpretively analysed. Results enabled the researchers to identify the risk, usage, and tradition as the most m-banking barriers that discourage m-banking adoption in Egypt as seen by the two main players.
