Abstract: Objective To investigate hospital staffs' appraisals on public hospitals reform.Methods 890 medical staffs were randomly investigated by questionnaire,to learn their comments on the implementation of reform measures,public-benefit nature and reform outcomes of the reform,as well as problems found with the government and improvement suggestions,and difficulties encountered in such a reform.Results The hospital staffs' appraisals on the reform tend to be low,as 36.4％ of them hold that the reform is less effective in its outcomes or a mere formality (19.8％).The staff blamed the lack of system breakthrough (67.9％),lack of financial support (61.1％),and insufficient support from the doctors as stakeholders (49.1 ％),for most of the problems of the reform.Conclusion It is suggested to win over support of the medical staff for the reform; to improve the laws and policies related to the reform; and to establish an effective supervision system for public hospitals.
