This review suggest that applying a realistic perspective to published research on the performance of health workers not only identifies the effectiveness of intervention to improve the health worker’s performance but also provides a better understanding of the mechanisms on how these interventions work under different sets of circumstances and contexts in which different group of health workers operate.

Applying a realistic perspective to HRH evaluation and reviews could be valuable in transferability of results.
