Turkey has implemented family practice on a pilot basis as part of the reform in health care, since 2005. This paper aims to understand and describe the prevalent practice patterns and clinic characteristics during the transition period.
A cross-sectional descriptive study design was used.
An online survey was conducted among Turkish GPs working as primary care doctors (without vocational training) during the reform period. Clinic and GP characteristics are analysed with descriptive statistics.
List size is an important factor; larger lists lead to shorter consultation time and a longer wait for patients. GPs are generally satisfied with the reform.
During the transition to family practice access of patients to health care has improved and GPs are satisfied with their job.
Patients in Turkey have adequate access to primary health care services. The waiting time for consultation is relatively short. Basic prevention activities occupy the majority of the GPs' time. Reducing the panel size and introducing appointment systems may be useful.
自2005年以来，土耳其已将家庭医疗作为医疗保健改革的一部分进行试点实施。本文旨在了解和描述转型期普遍存在的医疗模式和诊所特征。
采用横断面描述性研究设计。
在改革期间，对作为初级保健医生（未经职业培训）工作的土耳其全科医生进行了在线调查。诊所和全科医生的特征采用描述性统计进行分析。
患者名单规模是一个重要因素；名单越大，咨询时间越短，患者等待时间越长。全科医生总体上对改革感到满意。
在向家庭医疗转型期间，患者获得医疗保健的机会有所改善，全科医生对其工作感到满意。
土耳其患者能够充分获得初级卫生保健服务。咨询等待时间相对较短。基本预防活动占据了全科医生的大部分时间。减少患者名单规模并引入预约系统可能会有所帮助。
