To investigate the association between the quality of the family physician-patient relationship and frequent attendance of primary and specialist health care.
Cross-sectional survey of a representative German population sample (N=2.266). Family physician-patient relationship was assessed with the Patient Doctor Relationship Questionnaire (PDRQ-9). Determinants of frequent attendance were analyzed using logistic regression.
Frequent attendance of family physicians was associated with lower income (OR 1.43, 95% CI 1.02-2.00), not being in paid work (OR 1.58, CI 1.08-2.30), psychological distress (OR 1.14, CI 1.07-1.22), somatic symptoms (OR 1.07, CI 1.04-1.11), and physical comorbidity (OR 1.54, CI 1.36-1.74) in the multivariate analysis. Frequent attendance of specialists was related to psychological distress (OR 1.12, CI 1.04-1.20), somatic symptoms (OR 1.08, CI 1.04-1.11), and physical comorbidity (OR 1.69, CI 1.48-1.93) in the multivariate analysis. Quality of the relationship was associated with frequent attendance only in the univariate analyses. A stronger relationship with the family physician was not associated with reduced contact with specialists.
The quality of the family physician-patient relationship is not independently associated with frequent attendance.
Family physicians should be aware that need factors, i.e. symptom burden and physical comorbidities, are main drivers of frequent attendance.
探讨家庭医生与患者关系质量与基层及专科医疗保健频繁就诊之间的关联。
对具有代表性的德国人群样本(N = 2266)进行横断面调查。使用医患关系问卷(PDRQ - 9)评估家庭医生与患者的关系。采用逻辑回归分析频繁就诊的决定因素。
在多变量分析中,家庭医生频繁就诊与低收入(比值比[OR] 1.43,95%置信区间[CI] 1 .02 - 2.00)、无带薪工作(OR 1.58,CI 1.08 - 2.30)、心理困扰(OR 1.14,CI 1.07 - 1.22)、躯体症状(OR 1.07,CI 1.04 - 1.11)以及身体合并症(OR 1.54,CI 1.36 - 1.74)相关。在多变量分析中,专科医生频繁就诊与心理困扰(OR 1.12,CI 1.04 - 1.20)、躯体症状(OR 1.08,CI 1.04 - 1.11)以及身体合并症(OR 1.69,CI 1.48 - 1.93)相关。仅在单变量分析中,关系质量与频繁就诊相关。与家庭医生关系更强与减少与专科医生的接触无关。
家庭医生与患者关系的质量并非独立与频繁就诊相关。
家庭医生应意识到需求因素,即症状负担和身体合并症,是频繁就诊的主要驱动因素。
