To describe Danish general practitioners' perception of their own role and to register their actual behaviour in the prevention of HIV/AIDS.
Data collection was carried out by a) questionnaire and b) prospective registration of consultations dealing with HIV/AIDS in a two-week period in September 1992.
General practice, Denmark.
One thousand general practitioners (GPs), selected at random, were asked to participate. The study population comprised 352 GPs who returned the questionnaire and participated in the prospective registration.
Most of the GPs (94%) were of the opinion that GPs should play a central part in the prevention of HIV; 96% found that their knowledge was sufficient to advise on the prevention of HIV, and 90% thought that the GP should take the initiative to talk about HIV. The median number of consultations dealing with HIV was two during ten working days (range 0-18), and more than half the GPs (56%) had not themselves initiated a conversation concerning the problem.
There was discrepancy between the GPs' vision of their role in HIV prevention and the activities in practice. It is recommended that initiatives are taken to strengthen the GPs' role in AIDS prevention.
描述丹麦全科医生对自身角色的认知,并记录他们在预防艾滋病毒/艾滋病方面的实际行为。
数据收集通过以下方式进行:a)问卷调查;b)对1992年9月为期两周内有关艾滋病毒/艾滋病的咨询进行前瞻性记录。
丹麦的全科医疗。
随机挑选了1000名全科医生(GPs)邀请其参与。研究人群包括352名返回问卷并参与前瞻性记录的全科医生。
大多数全科医生(94%)认为全科医生应在预防艾滋病毒方面发挥核心作用;96%的人认为他们的知识足以就艾滋病毒预防提供建议,90%的人认为全科医生应主动谈论艾滋病毒。在十个工作日内,有关艾滋病毒的咨询中位数为两次(范围0 - 18次),超过一半的全科医生(56%)自己并未主动发起关于该问题的谈话。
全科医生对其在艾滋病毒预防中角色的认知与实际行动之间存在差异。建议采取措施加强全科医生在艾滋病预防中的作用。
