Abstract

An essential element of a successful educational system is evidence concerning the core educational needs of the system. This descriptive study used the consent-based technique of needs assessment to determine health educational needs and priorities within such education in 21 district health networks of the Isfahan province of Iran. This study was conducted in the Isfahan province from March 2005 to December 2006 among health experts of the Isfahan provincial health center and the following three groups in district health networks: health experts at headquarters; health workers delivering health services; and people in the community covered by these networks. Health education needs and priorities of the Isfahan provincial health authority at the district health networks were determined. While the first priority of headquarter experts and field workers was mental health and family planning, respectively, the first priority of people in the community in most districts was nutrition. The findings showed that in most districts there are differences in viewpoints between health workers, health experts and service users regarding health educational needs and priorities within the needs.
