To assess experience, knowledge, and opinions of Romanian general practitioners (GPs) on palliative health care in Romania.
A questionnaire survey was performed among 1283 GPs in five districts of Romania in 2004. The data were collected on the GPs' self-assessed experience in, knowledge of, and opinion on palliative care, entered into a database, and analyzed. Th e GPs were also asked to indicate if they needed to improve their knowledge about palliative care.
Th e response rate was 71%. GPs mostly reported having limited experience in providing palliative care, with 24% reporting to have provided palliative care frequently, and 55% reporting to have it provided sometimes. Significant or relations were found between the GPs' experience in palliative care provision and their age, sex, and place of work. Th e majority of Romanian GPs reported that their medical knowledge was inadequate for the provision of care to terminal patients at home. Over 80% of GPs agreed to develop palliative care services and to participate in a training program.
GPs in Romania reported to recognize the need for improvement of palliative care delivery in their country. They expressed a need for better knowledge of palliative care and agreed that multidisciplinary teams to provide palliative care at home would be the best form of delivering this type of health care.
评估罗马尼亚全科医生对罗马尼亚姑息治疗的经验、知识和看法。
2004年对罗马尼亚五个地区的1283名全科医生进行了问卷调查。收集了全科医生对姑息治疗的自我评估经验、知识和看法的数据，录入数据库并进行分析。还询问了全科医生是否需要提高他们关于姑息治疗的知识。
回复率为71%。全科医生大多报告在提供姑息治疗方面经验有限，24%的人报告经常提供姑息治疗，55%的人报告有时提供。在全科医生提供姑息治疗的经验与他们的年龄、性别和工作地点之间发现了显著关系。大多数罗马尼亚全科医生报告说，他们的医学知识不足以在家中为晚期患者提供护理。超过80%的全科医生同意开展姑息治疗服务并参加培训项目。
罗马尼亚的全科医生报告认识到本国需要改善姑息治疗服务。他们表示需要更好地了解姑息治疗，并同意由多学科团队在家中提供姑息治疗将是提供此类医疗保健的最佳形式。
