Data for: Feasibility of village health teams (VHTs) in using a smart phone guided intervention to link older Ugandans with chronic conditions to care

This data collection was produced as part of a feasibility study to determine if Village Health Teams (VHTs) could be effectively trained to use smart phone guided intervention when supporting older people with chronic conditions in the Kalungu district in south-western Uganda. This would involve the use of smart phones to record information on residents and using it to link them to health facilities for the purpose of treatment and care. The collection consists of 20 transcribed interviews, each of which was conducted with a village health team member. Transcripts contain variables on demographic characteristics, activities for VHTs, dealing with older people, linking older people with health problems to care, knowledge on chronic diseases, experiences in using smart phones and willingness to use a smartphone guided intervention in future.本数据集为一项可行性研究的产出成果，该研究旨在评估乌干达西南部卡隆古（Kalungu）地区的村卫生团队（Village Health Teams, VHTs）能否通过有效培训，在照护慢性病老年群体时使用智能手机辅助干预方案。该方案将依托智能手机记录居民健康信息，并据此将居民转诊至医疗机构以获得治疗与照护服务。本数据集包含20份访谈转录文本，所有访谈对象均为村卫生团队成员。转录文本涵盖的变量维度包括：人口统计学特征、村卫生团队相关工作内容、老年群体照护实践、慢性病老年患者的转诊照护流程、慢性病相关知识储备、智能手机使用经历，以及未来使用智能手机辅助干预方案的意愿。
