Abstract

We conducted a survey to assess the accessibility, cost, impact on work place absence and convenience of attending two genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinics, one in London and one in Plymouth. Nine hundred and fifty-eight questionnaires were collected for analysis (448 from London [L] and 510 from Plymouth [P]). The majority in London used public transport whereas the majority in Plymouth used private transport. Journey costs were less than 5 for the majority (75% L and 59% P). Of those in employment 229/678 (44%) had to take time off from work to attend. Women were significantly less likely (13/308, 4%, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2-6.5%) than men (51/370, 14% 95% [CI] 10.317.3%) to give up annual leave to attend. Both clinics were judged accessible, affordable and convenient by the majority of clinic users.

摘要

我们开展了一项调查，以评估前往两家性传播感染诊疗门诊（一家位于伦敦，一家位于普利茅斯）的可达性、费用、对工作缺勤的影响以及便利性。共收集了958份问卷用于分析（448份来自伦敦[L]，510份来自普利茅斯[P]）。伦敦的大多数人使用公共交通工具，而普利茅斯的大多数人使用私人交通工具。大多数人的行程费用不到5英镑（伦敦为75%，普利茅斯为59%）。在就业人员中，229/678（44%）不得不请假去就诊。女性因就诊而放弃年假的可能性（13/308，4%，95%置信区间[CI] 2 - 6.5%）显著低于男性（51/370，14%，95%[CI] 10.3 - 17.3%）。大多数门诊使用者认为两家门诊均可到达、费用合理且方便。
