To investigate factors associated with patient recruitment by general practitioners (GPs) in a randomised controlled trial in primary care.
Cross sectional survey of 100 GPs who had agreed to recruit patients for a randomised controlled trial. A postal questionnaire was sent to the 100 GPs to collect information on factors associated with recruitment in the randomised controlled trial.
The response rate to the survey was 97%. GPs who reported that practice nurses were involved in the research project were significantly more likely to recruit patients into the trial. Age, sex, membership of an independent practitioner association (IPA), number of half days worked, and the number of GPs working in a practice were not associated with recruitment.
Involvement of practice nurses together with GPs may improve recruitment of patients in randomised controlled trials in primary care in New Zealand.
在一项初级保健随机对照试验中,调查与全科医生(GP)招募患者相关的因素。
对100名同意为一项随机对照试验招募患者的全科医生进行横断面调查。向这100名全科医生发送了一份邮政问卷,以收集与随机对照试验中招募相关因素的信息。
调查的回复率为97%。报告执业护士参与研究项目的全科医生将患者招募入试验的可能性显著更高。年龄、性别、独立从业者协会(IPA)会员资格、工作半天的数量以及在一家诊所工作的全科医生数量与招募无关。
执业护士与全科医生共同参与,可能会改善新西兰初级保健随机对照试验中患者的招募情况。
