Abstract
:
This research investigates the problems facing community involvement in primary Health Care and the methods to activate such involvement as viewed by health center's staff. Based on a field survey under-taken in Riyadh and Jeddah, K.S.A. during l410-14l2 (1989-1991), the most important problems identified are: Illiteracy; lack of health awareness among citizens; non-responsiveness to co-operation with the center among many individuals; hesitation to provide needed information to health workers; reliance on non-Arabic speaking health workers; reliance on the private medical sector by some individuals and families; and lack of Female participation in health activities. Health centers staff agreed upon the following methods to activate community involvement: Illiteracy eradication, especially among females; intensify health education through media; strengthening co-operation and coordination with the local government agencies; home visits to encourage individuals and families co-operate with the health team, follow-up pregnant women and immunization of children; formation of local health friends committees; involving community members in health activities in the center; offering incentives to individuals and families who participate more than others in health activities; selection of PHC staff who are scientifically capable and can communicate well with people in local communities; and implementation of decentralization in PHC centers, with sufficient authority to undertake work. Such results may be useful in planning for the implementation of these methods in order to activate community involvement in primary health care program.
