RESUMEN

Introduction: Emergency drills are critical practices that can improve the preparedness for crisis situations. This study aims to comprehend the evaluation of emergency drill effectiveness by the staff at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Heilongjiang Province, China. It identifies potential factors that could influence the personnel's appraisal of outcomes throughout the emergency drill procedure. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among public health professionals from various CDCs in Heilongjiang, a northeastern Chinese province. The binary logistic regression analysis identified the factors associated with the CDC staff's assessment of emergency drill efficacy, while the Interpretative Structural Modeling (ISM) elucidated the hierarchical structure among the influencing factors. Results: 53.3% (95% CI = 50.6-55.4) of participants perceived the emergency drills' effectiveness as low. Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that the following adverse factors associated with the emergency drills increased the risk of a lower evaluation: lack of equipment and poor facilities (OR = 2.324, 95% CI = 1.884-2.867), poor training quality (OR = 1.765, 95% CI = 1.445-2.115), low leadership focus (OR = 1.585, 95% CI = 1.275-1.971), insufficient training frequency (OR = 1.539, 95% CI = 1.258-1.882), low skill in designing emergency drill plans (OR = 1.494, 95% CI = 1.180-1.890), lack of funding (OR = 1.407, 95% CI = 1.111-1.781), and poor coordination between departments (OR = 1.335, 95% CI = 1.085-1.641). The ISM revealed the hierarchical relationship of the influential factors, which were classified into three levels: Surface, Middle and Bottom. The Surface Level factors were training frequency, training quality, leaders' focus, and inter-departmental coordination. The Middle Level factors were equipment availability and skill in designing emergency drill plans. The Bottom Level factor was funding guarantee. Discussion: This survey revealed that over half of the CDC staff rated the effectiveness of public health emergency drills as low. The Logistic-ISM Model results indicated that the evaluation of drill effectiveness was negatively influenced by insufficient facility and equipment support, financial constraints, lack of departmental coordination, and inadequate leadership attention. Among these factors, funding guarantee was the most fundamental one. Therefore, this calls for strategic decisions to increase funding for equipment, leadership training support, and effective emergency coordination.

RESUMEN

Background: The Chinese health system has long been committed to eliminating inequalities in health services utilization. However, few studies have analyzed or measured these inequalities in economically underdeveloped regions in China. Methods: A total of 6,627 respondents from 3,000 households in Heilongjiang Province were extracted from the Sixth National Health Services Survey. We measured horizontal inequity in both 2-week outpatient rate and annual inpatient rate, and then identified the factors contributing to inequality. Results: The horizontal inequity indices of the 2-week outpatient and annual impatient rates in Heilongjiang Province were 0.0586 and 0.1276, respectively. Household income, health status, place of residence, basic medical insurance, and commercial health insurance were found to be the main factors affecting inequality in health services utilization. The contributions of household income to these two indices were 184.03 and 253.47%, respectively. Health status factors, including suffering from chronic disease, limitations in daily activities, and poor self-rated health, played positive roles in reducing inequality in these two indices. The contributions of place of residence to these two indices were 27.21 and -28.45%, respectively. Urban Employee Basic Medical Insurance made a pro-rich contribution to these two indices: 56.25 and 81.48%, respectively. Urban and Rural Resident Basic Medical Insurance, Urban Resident Basic Medical Insurance, New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme, and other basic medical insurance made a pro-poor contribution to these two indices: -73.51 and -54.87%, respectively. Commercial health insurance made a pro-rich contribution to these two indices: 20.79 and 7.40%, respectively. Meanwhile, critical illness insurance made a slightly pro-poor contribution to these two indices: -4.60 and -0.90%, respectively. Conclusions: The findings showed that the "equal treatment in equal need" principle was not met in the health services utilization context in Heilongjiang Province. To address this issue, the government could make policy changes to protect low-income populations from underused health services, and work to improve basic medical insurance, critical illness insurance, and social security systems.
