Main description
L'articolo esplora i fattori associati all'accesso e all'utilizzo delle strutture e dei servizi di assistenza sanitaria primaria tra gli anziani nelle aree rurali del sud-est della Nigeria, applicando il disegno di indagine su un campione di 1625 anziani (60+). Per la raccolta dei dati è stato utilizzato un questionario basato sulle sei dimensioni di accesso alle strutture e ai servizi sanitari di Saurman (2015). I dati raccolti sono stati analizzati con statistiche descrittive e inferenziali. Secondo i risultati dello studio, fattori predittivi della soddisfazione per le strutture sanitarie rurali sono il genere, la distanza, la cultura/tradizione, l'accessibilità economica, la disponibilità di un'assicurazione sanitaria e la frequenza di utilizzo delle strutture sanitarie (p .05, p.01, p 000, R2 = 70.7); fattori predittivi per l'utilizzo delle strutture e dei servizi di assistenza sanitaria primaria tra gli anziani nelle aree rurali sono il genere, l'età, la disponibilità di una assicurazione sanitaria, la consapevolezza dei pacchetti sanitari per gli anziani, la disponibilità di strutture e servizi sanitari speciali rivolti agli anziani, nonché laccesso alle strutture sanitarie primarie rurali.
