SEASONAL AND MIGRANT FARMWORKERS’ SATISFACTION LEVEL OF HEALTH CARE SERVICES IN SEMI-RURAL AREAS OF ESKISEHIR
Abstract
Seasonal and Migrant Farmworkers and their family members (SMF) who have known as disadvantaged risk group all around the world due to their some characteristics. Providing highly qualified and accessible health care services to this group is critical. Aim of the study was evaluating the status of applications to SMF for gaining the health care services and determining the satisfaction level of SMF with the health care services. The study was conducted in seven tent cities in Eskisehir. A three part questionnaire that includes questions related to socio-demographic characteristics of SMF, applications of SMF to health care services due to their health problems and SMF’s satisfaction level of health care services. We conducted multivariate logistic regression to identify the socio-demographic and other factors that related to SMF’s satisfaction level of health care services. We reached total of 46.3% SMF. The mean and standard deviation of age were 24.9±16.4 years. Among the SMF 39.4% were male, 53.1% applied to the state hospitals, 63.5% applied for examination, 89.8% were satisfied with health care services. Distance from the tent cities to the city center and educational level of SMF were associated with their satisfaction level of health care services. SMF prefer the secondary health care services rather than primary health care services. Therefore primary health care services should be advised to SMF for their health problems. Also expectancy of SMF from the health care services might be increased. Further qualitative and intervention researches will be needed to determine need and expectation of SMF about health care services.
