Abstract:
Objective To explore a more objective scheme for comprehensive evaluation of township health education program. Methods Based on the indicators and grading results of 17 township hospitals (named from A to Q) in Xiangshan County, we calculated the weight of each indicator by entropy weight method and sorted the township hospitals by the improved TOPSIS. Then we compared the ranking with the annual assessment results in 2017 to verify the rationality of this scheme. Results The entropy weights of"printed materials of health education","play of audio-visual materials","health education bulletin board","public health consultation" ,"health knowledge lecture" ,"individualized health education" and"awareness rate of health knowledge"were 0.122 0, 0.125 3, 0.134 6, 0.157 2, 0.157 0, 0.179 8 and 0.124 1, respectively. Through the improved TOPSIS, 17 hospitals were sorted as follows: P, L, O, C, G, A, H, N, B, E, M, Q, K, J, F, D, I. Compared with the annual assessment rankings which were P, L, A, C, B, O, G, H, K, N, D, E, M, J, I, F, Q, thirteen of them were different. Conclusion "Printed materials of health education","awareness rate of health knowledge" and"play of audio-visual materials" have little room for improvement, while"individualized health education" should be focused on in the future. The improved TOPSIS based on entropy weight could objectively evaluate the quality of health education service.
