ABSTRACT
Objective:To compare the social support levels as understood by family doctor team members in township hospitals/community health centers, and village clinics/community clinics, and their influencing factors, in order to provide reference for improving the work status of family doctor team members and enhancing the quality of family doctors′ contracted services.Methods:A multi-stage random cluster sampling method was used to sample medical workers from contracted family doctor teams in township hospitals/community health centers and their subordinate village clinics/community clinics in 6 counties (cities, districts) of Tai′an city, Shandong province. In August 2020, a questionnaire survey was conducted on the perceived level of social support among family doctor team members using the perceived social support scale. Descriptive analysis was conducted on the data, and independent sample t-tests and one-way ANOVA were used to conduct univariate analysis on the influencing factors of perceived social support scores of family doctor team members at different levels, while multiple linear regression analysis was used to conduct multivariate analysis. Results:A total of 765 valid questionnaires were collected, with 203 and 562 from township hospitals/community health centers and village clinics/community clinics, respectively. The total perceived social support scores of family doctor team members in township hospitals/community health centers and village clinics/community clinics were (65.56±10.29) and (67.31±10.14), respectively, featuring statistically significant differences ( t=-2.11, P<0.05). In-mirage marital status ( β=0.18, P=0.008), good/very good self-rated health status ( β= 0.25, P=0.048), participation of work-related training within one year ( β=0.17, P=0.010), relatively satisfied/very satisfied for job promotion ( β= 0.17, P=0.046), as well as above/far above average self-rated economic status as ( β=-0.15, P=0.027), were the influencing factor on the perceived social support scores of family doctor team members in township hospitals/community health centers. In-marriage marital status ( β= 0.12, P=0.002), good/very good self-rated health status ( β=0.14, P=0.026), junior or intermediate level or above professional title ( β=-0.11, P=0.003; β=-0.10, P=0.006), participation of work-related training within one year ( β= 0.14, P<0.001), and relatively satisfied/very satisfied for job promotion ( β= 0.16, P<0.001) were the influencing factors on the perceived social support scores of family doctor team members in village clinics/community clinics. Conclusions:Members of the family doctor teams in primary medical institutions in Tai′an city had a higher level of understanding of social support. There were differences in the social support levels of family doctor team members between the two levels of primary medical and health care institutions, and the influencing factors were not completely consistent. Targeted measures should be taken based on specific circumstances to enable them to better receive and perceive support from family and friends, and to improve the quality of family doctors′ contracted services.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the cognition, attitude, and barriers of family doctor team members in chongming district of Shanghai to pharmacists joining the team and providing community pharmaceutical care. To provide the reference resources for the establishment of community pharmaceutical care management mode with appropriate suburban characteristics. Methods In a cross-section study conducted in 2020, an online questionnaire was provided to family doctor teams in 18 townships in Chongming District through group WeChat. Descriptive statistical data were used to analyze the cognition, attitude and barrier of family physician team members to community pharmaceutical care. Results Among the 555 participants in the study, 351 (63.24%) were female, 187 general practitioners (33.69%), 226 nurses (40.72%), and 142 public health physicians (25.59%). There were statistically significant differences in CPC cognition among the three classes of family doctor team members (P<0.05). 126 nurses (51.22%) and 84 public health physicians (68.85%) claimed never heard of CPC. 11.48% public health physicians and 23.58% nurses were familiar with the work content and responsibilities of community clinical pharmacists. General practitioners showed relatively high proportion of 34.76%. 34.22% of general practitioners held a "disagree attitude" against that "community pharmaceutical care can improve the medication efficacy for patients". "Insufficient investment in the health sector" and "insufficient community pharmacists" were the main obstacles to the development of community pharmaceutical care. Conclusion The attitude of family doctors in Chongming area to community pharmaceutical care was conservative. Public healthcare persons and nurses had a low awareness to community pharmaceutical care. The development of community pharmaceutical care was limited by the lack of financial investment and manpower.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE： To provide reference for optimizing the structure of family doctor team and improving rational drug use in primary medical institutions of China. METHODS： Combined with relevant literatures and author’s work experience， the situation of rational drug use in primary medical institution and the development of family doctors team were reviewed. The problems existing in the rational drug use service provided by family doctor team were analyzed to put forward relevant suggestions. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS： There are some problems in primary medical institutions， such as blind selection or abuse of antibiotics， high frequency of injection use. Provinces and municipalities that implement the family doctor model in China have gradually formed five kinds of family doctor contract service modes， such as “1+1+1” contract service mode， “basic package+personality package” contract service mode. The existing family doctors team have problems in the development of rational drug use services， such as lack of pharmaceutical service personnel， low business ability， limited pharmacy knowledge of team members， and insufficient participation of pharmacists. A reasonable family doctor team should pay attention to the cultivation of pharmacy service pharmacists， strengthen pharmacy professional knowledge training of medical staff， and build a corresponding “pharmaceutical joint” platform by means of the medical association platform if necessary so as to promote rational drug use in primary medical institutions.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of family doctor team service in the medical association model on empowerment behavior and health status of elderly patients with diabetes in the community. Methods A total of 158 patients with diabetes who were diagnosed with free physical examination and were diagnosed as diabetic patients in 4 communities under the jurisdiction of Fuzhong Community Health Service Center From March 2018 to May 2018, we conveniently divided into intervention group (79 cases) and the control group (79 cases), according to whether or not to sign a family doctor. The control group was older people who did not sign up for a family doctor,the control group was given routine intervention according to the community chronic disease follow-up mode, while the intervention group gave the contracted family doctor on the basis of routine intervention, and carried out individual assessment, group management, group intervention, one- on- one guidance, and the body mass index, abdominal circumference, fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, self-management ability of the two groups were evaluated before intervention and 6 months after intervenation. Results There was no significant difference between the two groups before intervention (P >0.05). After 6 months of intervention,abdominal circumference, fasting blood glucose and HbA1c was (79.5 ± 5.0) cm, (6.1 ± 0.7) mmol/L, (6.3 ± 0.6)% in the intervention group, (85.2 ± 11.4) cm, (6.5 ± 0.8) mmol/L, (6.8 ± 0.7)% in the control group, and there was significant difference between the two groups (t=2.142, 3.345, 4.820, P<0.05 or 0.01); the self-empowerment ability and the self-management was (37.7±1.7), (44.3±6.8) in the intervention group, (30.1±2.5), (36.5±2.8) in the control group, and there was significant difference between the two groups (t=22.344, 9.427, P<0.01). Conclusion The family doctor team service under the model of medical association can improve empowerment behavior of elderly diabetic patients in the community and improve their health status.
