Helping nurses overcome structural drivers of absenteeism in Uganda: A survey and discrete choice experiment
REFNo: HS2529ES
4.2 Objectives and research questions
1. To explore factors internal to the Ugandan health care sector that may be leading nurses to be absent from work
a) What job characteristics or conditions of employment are most influential in encouraging nurses / managers / midwives to not attend work?
b) Are there non-monetary job characteristics that are particularly important to nurses?
c) Are there substantial differences between nurses / managers / midwives that lead to differences in attendance and are there incentives to address these differences?
d) If so, does the effectiveness of interventions to overcome absenteeism vary according to these differences between nurses / managers / midwives?
e) Are there incentives encouraging nurses to be absent across the system and do these affect different groups of nurses / managers / midwives differently?
f) What effect, if any, does employment setting (urban versus rural) have on absenteeism and an individual’s decision to be absent?
2. To explore factors external to the Ugandan health care sector that may be leading nurses to be absent from work
a) What individual, social, structural, and contextual factors are most influential in encouraging nurses / managers / midwives not to attend work?
b) How do health worker characteristics influence service provider preferences in relation to incentives and other potential policy interventions to overcome absenteeism?
c) Are there substantial differences between nurses / managers / midwives that lead to differences in attendance and are there incentives to address these differences?
d) Does the effectiveness of interventions to overcome absenteeism vary according to these differences between nurses / managers / midwives?
e) Are there incentives encouraging nurses to be absent across the system and do these affect different groups of nurses / managers / midwives differently?
f) How does intrinsic and extrinsic motivation affect attendance at work?
g) What do health workers believe and perceive (from personal experience of word-of-mouth) is currently being done to combat absenteeism and what do they believe will be the most feasible policy solutions in the future?
3. To identify feasible policy interventions that are most likely to be taken up and impact behaviour
a) What are the experiences and perceptions of health care service providers of monetary and non-monetary incentives and other factors affecting service provider motivation and performance to inform the design of policy interventions to overcome absenteeism and ensure the delivery of quality health care services in Uganda?
b) Are there characteristics of health facilities that influence service provider preferences in relation to incentives and other potential policy interventions to overcome absenteeism?
c) What proportion of health workers would choose to attend work rather than be absent if presented with specific (hypothetical) job characteristics? How does this vary across the population?
d) What trade-offs, if any, are nurses willing to make between these attributes to identify the optimal combination of these factors for packages of policy interventions that can be implemented in light of local resource constraints to align the incentives facing frontline health care providers especially in rural settings to address the issue of absenteeism?
e) Are nurses / managers / midwives willing to trade between “carrot” and “stick” interventions to reduce absenteeism?
f) Is salary the main incentive? Are there non-monetary incentives that are likely to have an impact on nurse absenteeism?
g) What is the range of feasible and affordable policy interventions that are likely to be effective in addressing health worker absenteeism?
h) Is changing individual or group incentives likely to lead to less absenteeism?
