Association Between Individual-Level Knowledge and Motivation among Community Health Workers in Rural Areas of Northern States of India.

ABSTRACT: The present study was done to assess influence of Accredited Social Health Activist's (ASHA) knowledge, performance of health centers, satisfaction of other Community Health Workers (CHWs), and beneficiaries on motivation level of ASHAs in rural areas of northern India. In a study district, stratified random sampling was done to select high-performing (HP) and low-performing (LP) health centers. A total of 24 (12: PHCs and 12: SCs), 12 HP and LP each, were selected. From each SC, ASHAs, co-workers, and beneficiaries (pregnant, postnatal, and eligible couple women) were interviewed. The mean level of satisfaction was observed to be high among beneficiaries (71.4 vs. 64.3; P = 0.023) and AWWs (76.1 vs. 65.4; P = 0.003) of HP-PHCs except among MPHW-Fs, where it was high in LP-PH
