Existing deficiencies in general practice management of rheumatic disease are identified and the evolution of a three-day course designed to remedy these deficiencies is described. Evaluation of the courses showed changes in the performance of participants in diagnosing and treating rheumatic disorders. Knowledge was increased, referral to hospital was halved and treatments in general practice, such as injections of steroids and advice on self-care, were increased. These changes were measured and were maintained up to two years after the course.
本研究识别了目前在风湿性疾病全科诊疗管理中存在的不足,并描述了为弥补这些不足而设计的为期三天的课程的开展过程。对这些课程的评估显示,参与者在诊断和治疗风湿性疾病方面的表现有所改变。知识有所增加,转诊至医院的比例减半,全科诊疗中的治疗措施(如类固醇注射和自我护理建议)有所增加。这些变化得到了量化评估,并且在课程结束后的两年内持续存在。
