Management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is changing from a surgical approach to a medical approach, and the role of primary care physicians is expanding.
To introduce a patient-centred approach to managing BPH in primary care through a continuing medical education (CME) program.
A practice-based, small group, peer-led CME program focused on application of the International Prostate Symptom Score and Quality of Life Assessment in four case studies on prostatism, including BPH. At 86 workshops held across Canada, 658 physicians participated in discussions with case materials that included videos and a handbook. A before-after practice behaviour questionnaire was administered at each workshop to evaluate "intent to change."
Participating physicians showed willingness to learn new skills for patient-centred management of BPH. These results suggest that peer-led, small group CME can successfully encourage use of new practice guidelines in primary are and teach physicians practical steps for developing therapeutic alliances with their patients.
良性前列腺增生(BPH)的管理正从手术方法转向医学方法,基层医疗医生的作用正在扩大。
通过继续医学教育(CME)项目,在基层医疗中引入以患者为中心的BPH管理方法。
一个基于实践的、小组形式、由同行主导的CME项目,重点是在四个关于前列腺增生(包括BPH)的案例研究中应用国际前列腺症状评分和生活质量评估。在加拿大各地举办的86场研讨会上,658名医生参与了对包含视频和手册的案例材料的讨论。在每个研讨会上都发放了一份前后实践行为问卷,以评估“改变意愿”。
参与的医生表现出愿意学习以患者为中心的BPH管理新技能。这些结果表明,由同行主导的小组CME可以成功地鼓励在基层医疗中使用新的实践指南,并教会医生与患者建立治疗联盟的实际步骤。
