目的：评估尼日利亚见习眼科医生对农村实践的影响因素感受。

方法：该横断面调查在尼日利亚眼科住院医师中进行，他们参加了由西非外科医师学会和尼日利亚东南-南部眼科学会联合举办的年度神经眼科课程。为这项研究改编和修改的一份预先测试的封闭式调查表在课程结束时由所有同意参加者自行填写。调查收集了受访者的社会人口统计数据和农村眼保健服务意见。此外，还收集了受访者对乡村实践的感受、在乡村地区实践意愿以及在乡村工作的益处和障碍等信息。使用社会科学统计软件包进行数据分析。描述性分析产生集中趋势的量度，使用Chi-square 检验各组间差异的统计学意义。在所有比较中，P<0.05具有统计学意义。

结果：44 例受访者平均年龄 32.9±0.56岁。包括 24(54.5%)例女性，20(45.5%)例男性，男女比例为 1：0.8。受访者均对尼日利亚乡村服务的现状感到不满意。大多数(75.0%)受访者不愿意在乡村地区进行眼科实践工作。相较于男性，更多女性愿意在乡村地区工作。受访者在农村地区工作的最普遍潜在利益是“扶贫/服务国家”(37； 84%)政策，而所有受访者(44； 100%)指出缺乏基础设施是农村眼科实践的缺陷。

结论：调查中所有受访者对尼日利亚乡村眼保健服务的情况不满意，大多数人不愿意在乡村工作。

METHODS: This cross sectional survey was conducted among Nigerian Ophthalmology resident doctors attending an annual Neuro-ophthalmology course jointly organized by the West African College of Surgeons and the Ophthalmological Society of Nigeria Southeast-South south zone(OSN SESS), preparatory to the part 1 and 2 fellowship examination from 15^th to 21^st June 2015. A pre-tested closed-ended questionnaire adapted and modified for this study was self-administered at the end of the course to all consenting participants. Data on respondent's socio-demographics and views about rural eye care services were collected. In addition, information was collected on the respondents' perception of rural practice, willingness to practice in the rural area, benefits and barriers to working in the rural area. Data were analyzed using the statistical package for social sciences(SPSS), version 19(SPSS Inc., Chicago, Illinois, USA). Descriptive analysis yielded measures of central tendency while comparative statistical tests for significance of observed inter-group differences was performed using Chi-square. In all comparisons, the P- value for statistical significance was set at P<0.05.

RESULTS: The total number of respondents was 44 aged 32.9±0.56y, comprising of 24(54.5%)males and 20 females with a male to female ratio of 1:0.8. All the respondents viewed the current state of rural service in Nigeria as unsatisfactory. Majority(75.0%)of the respondents were unwilling to practice Ophthalmology in rural areas. More females than males indicated willingness to work in the rural area. The commonest potential benefit of working in a rural area mentioned by the respondents was “health services for the poor/serving the country”(37; 84%)while all the respondents(44; 100%), noted absence of infrastructure/facilities as drawback to rural ophthalmic practice.

CONCLUSION: All the respondents in our survey had an unsatisfactory perception of Nigeria's rural eye-care service and majority were unwilling to work in a rural area.
