The aim of this study was to determine whether the use of primary health care differs between students enrolled in Belgian and German government-funded universities. The secondary aim of the study was to determine the factors that might explain such a difference. Participants were recruited through all Belgian and German government-funded universities. Because not all the universities agreed to participate, recruiting was also done through social media groups of the universities. An anonymous online survey was used for data collection. In total, 2238 completed surveys were evaluated, of which 544 from students in Belgium and 1694 from students in Germany. In Belgium, more students had a family physician (87%) as compared to the students in Germany (73%) (p < 0.001). During the two months prior to the study, 37% of the Belgian students and 35% of the German students attended a family physician (p = 0.37). More German students attended a specialist (40%) as compared to the Belgian students (24%) (p<0.001). The German students also attended the emergency department more frequently (6%) as compared to their Belgian counterparts (3%) (p = 0.004). Belgian university students were more likely to attend a primary care physician than the German students. The health care seemed to be better organized for Belgian students and they were more satisfied with the delivered care.
本研究的目的是确定就读于比利时和德国政府资助大学的学生在使用初级卫生保健方面是否存在差异。该研究的次要目的是确定可能解释这种差异的因素。通过比利时和德国所有政府资助的大学招募参与者。由于并非所有大学都同意参与，因此也通过大学的社交媒体群组进行招募。使用匿名在线调查收集数据。总共评估了2238份完整的调查问卷，其中544份来自比利时学生，1694份来自德国学生。在比利时，与德国学生（73%）相比，更多的学生有家庭医生（87%）（p<0.001）。在研究前的两个月里，37%的比利时学生和35%的德国学生看过家庭医生（p = 0.37）。与比利时学生（24%）相比，更多的德国学生看过专科医生（40%）（p<0.001）。德国学生去急诊科就诊的频率也比比利时学生（3%）更高（6%）（p = 0.004）。比利时大学生比德国学生更有可能去看初级保健医生。对比利时学生来说，医疗保健似乎组织得更好，他们对所提供的护理也更满意。
