“…Appropriation is the term used by [3,4,6] in situations where the user creates new uses for technology solutions, thereby creating new requirements that must be considered by designers. During the appropriation process, users perceive more clearly their abilities, the best way to interact with technology solutions, how to adapt them to new uses and contexts, and how the users performs that in a better way.…”

The research team involved in this first cycle reported their experiments and materials generated in dissertations and articles [1,3,6,4,5,7,8,10,11]. The second cycle of activities involved analysis of the collected requirements and their validation through interviews.…”

In this work we present a set of guidelines to help designers during the activities of interaction design process to support usercentered approaches. The aim is to guide designers in integrating professional, personal and social contexts of the user during the construction phase of applications that are embedded in the user´s workflow. These guidelines were formulated from studies conducted in a Hospital for treatment of chronic mental illness in Brazil. During these studies we observed healthcare professionals in their daily activities and with these information we developed information and communication (technology?) solutions to bring new technologies in their day-to-day while not disrupting their work routines. In the Hospital environments, where our study took place, the healthcare professionals are not familiar with technology and they do not use technologies for their work. We observed, collected and analyzed several data related to the activities of the design process and the designer's work. These analyses helped us in understanding some weak points in the design process that do not simplify the integration of the different contexts in which users are naturally inserted. With the integration of contexts, we promote the extension of user´s abilities and the appropriation of technologies and applications, favoring an expanding of the user's abilities involved.

“…Extensive research has shown that involving technical health workers in using and operationalizing the DHIS-2 platform for health data management can lead to expected health outcomes [14][15][16][17][18]. It remains unclear whether socio-demographic factors may influence such outcomes -to our knowledge, no studies are interested in learning the association between sociodemographic factors and the use of the DHIS-2 platform at this moment.…”

The utilization of Electronic Health Information System is crucial in informing credible decision-making process, especially in developing countries. We aimed to investigate the socio-demographic factors of Health workers that are associated with their utilization of the DHIS-2 platform in Burundi. We conducted a cross-sectional study amongst health workers involved in collecting and validating data in health facilities. The male gender was more associated with the DHIS-2 effect on the enhancement of health information access (χ2 = 7.995, P=.005) than the female gender. Marital status was associated with quality information (χ2 = 6.437, P= .011) and health information management (χ2= 5.053, P= .025) improvement. The lower time travel to workplace was associated with the improvement of quality information (χ2= 11.224, P= .001) and health information management (χ2= 6.568, P= .010), training on DHIS-2 (χ2= 16.374, P= .000), DHIS-2 compatibility with health facility management tools (χ2 = 4.726, P= .030), national health information system design (χ2= 8.023, P= .005), compatibility with primary health information tools (χ2= 9.339, P= .002) and the national health policy objective (χ2= 9.699, P= .002), required security elements (χ2= 14.205, P= .000), data transfer security (χ2= 6.288, P= .012), data protection against modification (χ2= 6.497, P= .011), and assurance of personal privacy (χ2= 7.650, P= .006). The lower educational level was associated with information error minimization (χ2= 7.243, P= .007) and learning ease (χ2 = 4.175, P= .041). The health worker function was associated with DHIS-2 compatibility with national health policy objective (χ2 =4.496, P= .034). The geographical area of work was associated with DHIS-2 ease of use and interoperability assurance (χ2 = 10.287, P= .006; χ2 = 16.086, P= .000). There is a need to make the use of the DHIS-2 platform a global public health concern in fragile health systems for robust decision-making process.
