Health promotion (HP) is a part of the general practitioners' (GPs) competencies defined by the World Organization of Family Doctors. The implementation of HP in their practice is unsatisfactory.
The aim of this study was to explore GPs knowledge, attitudes and practices in Morocco about HP at the primary healthcare services.
A cross-sectional study was conducted using an online self-administrated questionnaire including, knowledge, attitudes and practices of GPs toward HP. Descriptive and bivariate analyses were conducted.
Two hundred and forty GPs responded to our questionnaires, the sex ratio was 1.12 with an average age of 40.46 ± 9.05 years. More than half of our participants perceived HP as a concept indistinct from prevention, 70.4% believed that HP refers to the biomedical model. On a Likert scale of 1-5, the level of HP knowledge was 2.71 ± 1.13. The most discussed topics with the population were tobacco, alcohol, overweight and obesity. Statistically significant association was found between the competencies of GPs in lifestyle behaviours and the practice of this competence.
The knowledge of GPs remains insufficient, and their practices focus more on the areas in which they feel competent, which requires the implementation of specific training for the development of GPs skills in HP.
健康促进（HP）是世界家庭医生组织所定义的全科医生（GPs）能力的一部分。其在全科医生实践中的实施情况并不理想。
本研究旨在探索摩洛哥全科医生在初级医疗服务中关于健康促进的知识、态度和实践。
采用在线自填问卷进行横断面研究，问卷包括全科医生对健康促进的知识、态度和实践。进行了描述性和双变量分析。
240名全科医生回复了我们的问卷，性别比为1.12，平均年龄为40.46±9.05岁。超过一半的参与者认为健康促进是一个与预防没有区别的概念，70.4%的人认为健康促进指的是生物医学模式。在1-5的李克特量表上，健康促进知识水平为2.71±1.13。与民众讨论最多的话题是烟草、酒精、超重和肥胖。全科医生在生活方式行为方面的能力与该能力的实践之间存在统计学上的显著关联。
全科医生的知识仍然不足，他们的实践更多地集中在他们认为自己有能力的领域，这需要开展特定培训以提高全科医生在健康促进方面的技能。
