This MRC/ESRC post-doctoral fellowship will provide for the publication of a series of papers on the determinants of nurses‘ career choices in South Africa, and the expected effects of some policy interventions to attract them to rural posts. Quantitative in nature, these papers will address economic questions as well as policy-relevant ones. The results of this research will also be disseminated directly to policy-makers and the public through a combination of presentations at professional meetings and workshops, face-to-face meetings, distribution of policy briefs and posting on relevant websites. The research should ultimately contribute to improving health outcomes in medically underserved populations, by providing insight into the design of efficient policies to increase nursing coverage. A final goal of the fellowship will be to produce a research proposal to look at the role of altruism and other incentives in the decisions made by doctors in their relationship to their patients. The production of this proposal will be supported by a series of training modules in theoretical and empirical research methods, and the development of a small pilot project destined to test some possible tools.

这项医学研究中心/欧洲医学研究中心博士后研究金将用于出版一系列关于南非护士职业选择的决定因素以及一些政策干预措施吸引她们到农村工作的预期效果的论文。这些文件从数量上讲，将涉及经济问题以及与政策有关的问题。还将通过在专业会议和讲习班上的介绍、面对面会议、分发政策简报和在相关网站上张贴等方式，直接向决策者和公众传播这项研究的结果。这项研究最终将有助于改善医疗服务不足人群的健康状况，为设计有效的政策以增加护理覆盖面提供见解。该奖学金的最终目标将是提出一项研究建议，以研究利他主义和其他激励措施在医生与患者关系中所作决定中的作用。这一建议的提出将得到一系列理论和实证研究方法培训模块的支持，并将制定一个旨在测试某些可能工具的小型试点项目。
