To identify factors that hinder discussions regarding chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) between primary care physicians (PCPs) and their patients in Sweden.
Primary health care centres (PHCCs) in Stockholm, Sweden.
A total of 59 PCPs.
Semi-structured individual and focus-group interviews between 2012 and 2014. Data were analysed inspired by grounded theory methods (GTM).
Time-pressured patient-doctor consultations lead to deprioritization of COPD. During unscheduled visits, deprioritization resulted from focusing only on acute health concerns, while during routine care visits, COPD was deprioritized in multi-morbid patients. The reasons PCPs gave for deprioritizing COPD are: "Not becoming aware of COPD", "Not becoming concerned due to clinical features", "Insufficient local routines for COPD care", "Negative personal attitudes and views about COPD", "Managing diagnoses one at a time", and "Perceiving a patient's motivation as low''.
De-prioritization of COPD was discovered during PCP consultations and several factors were identified associated with time constraints and multi-morbidity. A holistic consultation approach is suggested, plus extended consultation time for multi-morbid patients, and better documentation and local routines.
Under-diagnosis and insufficient management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are common in primary health care. A patient-doctor consultation offers a key opportunity to identify and provide COPD care. Time pressure, due to either high number of patients or multi-morbidity, leads to omission or deprioritization of COPD during consultation. Deprioritization occurs due to lack of awareness, concern, and local routines, negative personal views, non-holistic consultation approach, and low patient motivation. Better local routines, extended consultation time, and a holistic approach are needed when managing multi-morbid patients with COPD.
确定在瑞典阻碍初级保健医生(PCP)与其患者之间就慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)展开讨论的因素。
瑞典斯德哥尔摩的初级卫生保健中心(PHCC)。
共59名初级保健医生。
2012年至2014年期间进行的半结构化个人访谈和焦点小组访谈。采用扎根理论方法(GTM)对数据进行分析。
患者与医生咨询时时间紧迫导致COPD被置于次要地位。在非预约就诊期间,仅关注急性健康问题导致COPD被置于次要地位,而在常规护理就诊期间,患有多种疾病的患者中COPD被置于次要地位。初级保健医生将COPD置于次要地位的原因有:“未意识到COPD”、“因临床特征未引起关注”、“当地COPD护理常规不足”、“对COPD的个人负面态度和看法”、“一次处理一个诊断”以及“认为患者积极性低”。
在初级保健医生咨询过程中发现了对COPD的重视不足,并且确定了与时间限制和多种疾病相关的几个因素。建议采用整体咨询方法,为患有多种疾病的患者延长咨询时间,并改善记录和当地常规。
慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)的诊断不足和管理不充分在初级卫生保健中很常见。患者与医生的咨询为识别和提供COPD护理提供了关键机会。由于患者数量多或患有多种疾病导致的时间压力,会导致在咨询期间遗漏或忽视COPD。重视不足是由于缺乏认识、关注和当地常规、个人负面看法、非整体咨询方法以及患者积极性低。在管理患有COPD的多种疾病患者时,需要更好的当地常规、延长咨询时间和整体方法。
