| dc.description.abstract | Type of study: mixed-method, sequential explanatory design study (quantitative followed by qualitative). Problem statement: The BSc PCH training program for clinical officers has been implemented, but the cadre’s performance in the field and role in Malawi’s health system is not known. Objective: To explore the contributions of the BSC PCH COs that they make to the care of children at their workplaces and the health care system in Malawi. Methodology: The study will include all 34 graduates (2012-2020). Tools are survey questionnaires and in-depth interviews of graduates, and key informant interviews of key stakeholders from the hospitals, the Ministry of Health and Population, and the Kamuzu University of Health Sciences. Data collection is planned for Quarter 1, 2022. Expected findings: Views and perceptions from graduates and stakeholders will highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the current programme and inform its future design. Dissemination: A dissemination workshop is planned in Malawi to share the results to discuss policy implications and planning. Results will be presented at the dissemination workshop in Malawi and conferences in Malawi and Germany. A manuscript will be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal. | en_US |
