Abstract

Background: Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the role of preventive medicine and public health personnel has been increasingly confirmed, but it also points to the fact that the problem of training and using human resources in this sector is still inadequate. Objectives: Describe the characteristics of human resources for preventive medicine and public health; (2) Analysis of difficulties and inadequacies in training and using human resources; (3) Determining the needs of human resource training in the provinces by 2030. Materials and methods: Research subjects include 130 health workers in public health or preventive medicine in 5 provinces/cities; Study design: quantitative descriptive cross-section combined with qualitative research. Results: The average age of preventive medicine and public health personnel is 29.9±4.5 and 40.9±8.6, respectively. Manpower allocation in many units is still lacking (41.5%) but redundant in some places (10%). Some related difficulties include: Low income, unclear job position, inconsistent perception of unit leaders, inappropriate scope of activities and practice certificates. Medical staff need to be trained in: Management (56.2%), Supervision (46.9%), Scientific research (43.8%)... and over 98% have the need to post-graduate study requirements. Conclusion: The number of human resources for public health and preventive medicine is still lacking, especially at the commune level. The structure and qualifications of human resources in some places are still low or inappropriate. Income, employment position, unity of opinion of leaders, clearly defined scope of activities and practice certificates are outstanding issues that need to be improved.
