Effect of Healthcare Providers? Attitudes and Motivation on HMIS Performance in Public Health Facilities in Kakamega County, Kenya
Abstract
An effective Health Management Information System (HMIS) is critical for informed decision-making, improved patient outcomes, enhanced healthcare efficiency, and evidence-based policy planning. However, its effectiveness among healthcare providers in public health facilities in Kakamega County, Kenya is not clear. This study aimed to analyze the behavioral determinants affecting HMIS performance among healthcare providers in public health facilities in Kakamega County. Specifically, the study examined the relationship between healthcare providers' attitudes and HMIS performance. A correlational research design was employed, targeting 1,050 healthcare workers across 15 Level IV health facilities in Kakamega County. A sample of 281 participants was selected using cluster, stratified, and simple random sampling techniques, comprising 15 Medical Superintendents and 266 healthcare workers. Regression findings indicated a positive and significant correlation attitudes & motivation (B? = 0.117, p = 0.002), and HMIS performance. These results highlight the crucial role of behavioral determinants in influencing HMIS effectiveness. The study?s findings provide valuable insights for healthcare providers, facility administrators, policymakers, and researchers, contributing to improved HMIS implementation and overall healthcare service delivery. Based on these findings, the study recommends fostering positive attitudes and motivation with best practices in HMIS, ultimately improving healthcare information management and decision-making.
