Standardized Construction Situation and Influencing Factors of Rabies Post-exposure Prophylaxis Clinics in Guizhou Province

The aim of the research is to understand the current situation of the standardized construction of rabies exposure and disposal clinics in Guizhou Province, and analyze its main influencing factors. Census and multi-stage sampling methods were adopted to investigate the setting of exposure treatment outpatients in province, city, county and township in Guizhou Province. The coverage rate of rabies exposure treatment clinics was 78.13%. 16.00% of clinics had no 24-hour duty or telephone duty system. 74.00% of outpatient informed consent forms or registration information for rabies exposed populations were not filled out in a standardized manner. And 12.12% of clinics of township (community) had no wound irrigation equipment. Among the influencing factors, capital investment was the most notable (100%), followed by human resources (90.42%) and inattention of leadership (75.00%). The failure of rabies exposure treatment clinics to achieve standardized construction is mainly manifested in the lack of functional divisions, incomplete wound treatment equipment, and imperfect clinic systems. Health expenditures, leadership attention, and human resources are the main factors affecting the standardized construction of clinics.
