Health Workers ' Knowledge, Perceptions, and Self-Efficacy Regarding the Use of Information Systems in Rural Districts of Oromia and Gambella Regions, Ethiopia

Conclusion: Few health workers could describe the dimensions of data quality and ways of ensuring data quality. Health workers have low perceptions toward managers/supervisors to seek input from relevant staff, emphasize data quality, and conduct routine data quality checks at points where data are captured, processed or aggregated. Health workers also have a very low perception of their self-efficacy to perform RHIS tasks. Similarly, only a few health workers were able to present the information and were able to interpret the figure correctly. It is recommended to provide need-based training and regular mentorship to have knowledgeable and skillful health workers improve RHIS performance at the low level of the health system.
