Overweight and obesity are increasing in the Norwegian population. GPs can play an important role in preventing weight gain and increased health risks in patients with overweight. The aim of this study was to obtain greater insight and a deeper understanding of the experiences of patients with overweight in consultations with their GP.
Eight individual interviews with patients with overweight in the age group 20 - 48 years were analysed using systematic text condensation.
A key finding in the study was that the informants reported that their GP did not raise the subject of overweight. The informants wanted their GP to take the initiative to talk to them about their weight and regarded their GP as an important agent in connection with challenges of overweight. The GP could function as a 'wake-up call' to make them aware of the health risk and of poor lifestyle choices. The GP was also highlighted as an important source of support in a change process.
The informants wanted their GP to take a more active role in talking about the health challenges connected with overweight.
挪威人口中超重和肥胖的情况日益增多。全科医生在预防超重患者体重增加及降低健康风险方面可发挥重要作用。本研究的目的是更深入地了解超重患者在与全科医生会诊时的经历。
采用系统文本浓缩法对8名年龄在20至48岁的超重患者进行了个人访谈。
该研究的一个关键发现是，受访者表示他们的全科医生没有提及超重问题。受访者希望他们的全科医生主动与他们谈论体重问题，并认为全科医生是应对超重挑战的重要因素。全科医生可以起到“警钟”的作用，使他们意识到健康风险和不良生活方式选择。全科医生也被视为改变过程中的重要支持来源。
受访者希望他们的全科医生在谈论与超重相关的健康挑战时发挥更积极的作用。
