Description

Additional information

Description of data capture Repeat cross-sectional survey of health worker motivation in Ethiopia. Data collection and analysis followed a sequential mixed methods approach. Baseline quantitative data were collected in April and May 2018 immediately prior to the start of the QI programme. Qualitative data were collected in April and May 2019. Endline quantitative data were collected in June 2019 at the end of the QI programme test of scale phase. In the baseline survey for each woreda we mapped the hospital and all health centres and health posts and obtained permission letters from woreda health offices. In each hospital or health centre/post, we obtained a list of all eligible MNH providers and randomly selected participants for interviews. Their names were written in alphabetical order next to a column of randomly generated numbers and interviewers sequentially chose participants from the smallest random number upwards until the requisite number of participants was reached. If participants were not available, we sought to arrange interviews via phone and returned to the facility up to three times before classifying them as unreachable and selecting the next worker from the list. In each woreda, we interviewed around 30 participants across a range of health worker and management cadres, including the heads or clinical directors of the woreda, each hospital, and each health centre. We interviewed around four maternal and child health care providers from the hospitals and two from each health centre, around five HEWs from each health centre, and one HEW from each health post. In the endline survey, conducted 15 months after the baseline survey and immediately after learning session four, we sought to re-interview all participants regardless of if they were in the same post as at baseline. We used mobile phone numbers provided at baseline and alongside information from woreda health office staff to locate participants. If participants could not be located after three attempts via phone and other channels, they were deemed to be uncontactable. When all participants had been either contacted or deemed uncontactable, we re-sampled at the facility level using the same randomisation methods as at baseline.
