详细描述
Every year thousands of FCHVs receive orientation on eye health. These training sessions are organized by eye hospitals and eye centers. There is a belief that FCHV play vital role in bridging the gap between community and health providers. Eye hospital staff also feel that training FCHV helps connect with community. Some centers conducts FCHV training program just before surgical camps. It is assumed that doing so increases the community people attending the camps. Despite the existing practices little is known about the effectiveness of eye health orientation to FCHVs. This study will help to find out the result of orientating FCHVs on eye Health.
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a one-day eye health orientation provided to Female Community Health Volunteers (FCHVs) on the utilization of eye care services in rural Nepal. The intervention is facilitated by Seva Foundation/Seva Canada Society, in collaboration with Geta Eye Hospital, the leading eye care provider in Sudurpashchim Province. Launched nationally in 1988, FCHVs play a critical role in linking communities to primary health services. Given their widespread reach and strong rapport with local populations, FCHVs are well-positioned to support eye care delivery, particularly in raising awareness and referring patients in need of services. While Seva Nepal and partners have oriented more than 3,000 FCHVs across Nepal, there is limited empirical evidence on the impact of such training. This study seeks to determine whether FCHV orientation leads to measurable increases in eye care service uptake and to explore optimal training
The study follows an interventional comparative study design. Study Population is FCHV's of Dipayal Silgadhi Municipality Doti District, Jayaprithvi Municipality and Chhabishpathivara Rural Municipality in Bajhang District.
