The medical literature contains no consistent recommendations regarding chaperon practices during physical examination of patients. The objective of this study was to determine the chaperon practices of Ohio family physicians.
A questionnaire was mailed to all 1,786 active members of the Ohio Academy of Family Physicians. The questionnaire solicited information about the physicians' chaperon practices during physical examinations of the rectum, sexual and genital organs, and the female chest.
The response rate was 74.6%. During female genital examinations, chaperons were used by 79.4% of male and 31.9% of female family physicians. Only 1.4% of male and 14.4% of female physicians used chaperons during male genital examinations. Chaperon practices were influenced by the gender of the physician and patient, the type of examination, and the availability of an assistant.
No standard of care exists regarding chaperon practices among Ohio family physicians.
医学文献中对于患者体格检查期间的陪诊做法没有一致的建议。本研究的目的是确定俄亥俄州家庭医生的陪诊做法。
向俄亥俄州家庭医生学会的所有1786名在职会员邮寄了一份问卷。该问卷征求了医生在直肠、性器官和生殖器官以及女性胸部体格检查期间的陪诊做法信息。
回复率为74.6%。在女性生殖系统检查期间，79.4%的男性家庭医生和31.9%的女性家庭医生使用陪诊人员。在男性生殖系统检查期间，只有1.4%的男性医生和14.4%的女性医生使用陪诊人员。陪诊做法受到医生和患者的性别、检查类型以及助手可用性的影响。
俄亥俄州家庭医生在陪诊做法方面不存在护理标准。
