Occupational physicians and general practitioners often appear to differ in their attitudes to the provision of health screening, health promotion and vaccination in the workplace.
This study aimed to explore the attitudes of occupational physicians and general practitioners to particular aspects of workplace health services.
Anonymous piloted postal questionnaires were sent to 400 UK general practitioners and 300 occupational physicians.
Questionnaires were returned by 260 general practitioners (65%) and 223 occupational physicians (74%). There are differences between the specialties in attitude to specific health screening and vaccination at work, and to the role of occupational health services in helping the disabled, but greater agreement on the usefulness of workplace health promotion.
General practitioners may misunderstand the role, responsibilities and priorities of occupational health services. Further educational work needs to be done to overcome communication difficulties between the specialties.
职业医师和全科医生在工作场所提供健康筛查、健康促进和疫苗接种方面的态度似乎常常存在差异。
本研究旨在探讨职业医师和全科医生对工作场所健康服务特定方面的态度。
向400名英国全科医生和300名职业医师发送了经过试点的匿名邮政问卷。
260名全科医生(65%)和223名职业医师(74%)回复了问卷。在对工作中特定健康筛查和疫苗接种的态度、职业健康服务在帮助残疾人方面的作用等方面,不同专业之间存在差异,但在工作场所健康促进的有用性方面有更大的共识。
全科医生可能误解了职业健康服务的作用、职责和优先事项。需要开展进一步的教育工作,以克服不同专业之间的沟通困难。
