Abstract

: Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the availability and utilization of medical equipment in Nekemte Specialized Hospital (NSH). Methods and Materials: A retrospective cross-sectional study design was employed. Adapted and pre-tested structured English version checklist for availability and utilization of medical equipment, document review and an in-depth interview were used for data collection. Data were collected by observation of availability of the medical equipment and interviewing selected professionals for utilization of capital item medical equipment. Microsoft excel 2013 was used for data analysis. Descriptive analysis was made to determine the availability and functional status of medical devices and qualitative part were thematically analysed. Results: This finding showed that about 60.4% (209) of medical equipment are available from the total required quantity of 348 which account only 45 (37.2%) of them were items. Among the available 209 medical equipment’s about 84.67% of them are functional and 15.33% of them were non-functional during the assessment. Besides, the Donated equipment accounts 45%. From eight-capital item three of them were properly utilized with utilization coefficient of 81.4%, 100% and 100.0% while the rest five were underutilized with utilization coefficient of 2.5%, 5.77%, 9.2% and 0%. Conclusion and Recommendation: The hospital lacks valuable, advanced and specialized medical equipment that are needed for diagnosis and treatment. Medical equipment fails due to lack of training for user, infrastructure problem like power surge and hard water, and misuse. Training that improves skill of the user and technicians should be given.

Nekemte专科医院医疗设备可用性和利用评估,2021年8月
目的:本研究的目的是评估Nekemte专科医院(NSH)医疗设备的可用性和利用率。方法与材料:采用回顾性横断面研究设计。数据收集采用了经改编和预先测试的结构化英文版医疗设备可得性和利用清单、文件审查和深入访谈。通过观察医疗设备的可用性和采访选定的专业人员来收集数据,了解资本项目医疗设备的使用情况。使用Microsoft excel 2013进行数据分析。描述性分析确定了医疗器械的可用性和功能状态,定性部分进行了专题分析。结果:在所需的348台医疗设备中,可获得的医疗设备约为60.4%(209台),其中项目仅占45台(37.2%)。在现有209台医疗设备中,84.67%的设备正常运行,15.33%的设备在评估时不正常运行。此外,捐赠设备占45%。8个资本项目中,合理利用3个,利用系数分别为81.4%、100%和100.0%;不充分利用5个,利用系数分别为2.5%、5.77%、9.2%和0%。结论与建议:医院缺乏宝贵的、先进的、专业的医疗设备进行诊断和治疗。医疗设备的故障是由于缺乏对用户的培训,电涌和硬水等基础设施问题,以及滥用。应给予提高用户和技术人员技能的培训。
