- Description
- My motivation to conduct this study was triggered by my exposure to the challenges which form the basis of this study. Being employed in the same environment as the respondents, it became natural for me to resolve to investigate the challenges facing these Health Professionals with the purpose of not only establishing what the challenges are but simultaneously propose remedial solutions to mitigate their impact. This study is both qualitative as well as quantitative to make sure that both the numerical as well as the social issues which impact these professionals‘ work were captured in the study. The assumptions from which the study moved were largely confirmed by the respondents. The recommendations which the researcher proposes to mitigate the challenges are informed by her own experience as well as the responses which were elicited from the respondents. While the study does contribute in a way to the body of knowledge, it is cautioned in the concluding chapter that recommendations made must be considered with this caution in mind as the study was limited to a specific environment – the OR Tambo District Health Municipality.
