Background:
The incomplete collection of health data is a prevalent problem in healthcare systems around the world, especially in developing countries. Missing data hinders progress in population health and perpetuates inefficiencies in healthcare systems.
Objective:
This study aims to identify the factors that predict the intention of physicians practicing in community health centres of Bamako, Mali, to collect data exhaustively in medical registries.
Design:
A cross sectional study.
Method:
In January and February 2011, we conducted a study with a random sample of thirty two physicians practicing in community health centres of Bamako, using a questionnaire. Data was analyzed by using descriptive statistics, correlations and linear regression.
Main Outcomes Measures:
Trained investigators administered a questionnaire measuring physicians' sociodemographic and professional characteristics as well as constructs from the Theory of Planned Behaviour.
Results:
Our results showed that physicians' intention to collect data exhaustively is influenced by subjective norms and by the physician's number of years in practice.
Conclusions:
the results of this study could be used as a guide for health workers and decision makers to improve the quality of health information collected in community health centers.
