ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To analyse the opinions of physicians on the appropriateness of research into the relationships between doctors and pharmaceutical industry, and to evaluate the usefulness of email survey in this research. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Survey via email of 373 authors of papers published in Spanish medical journals in 2007. The relationships between doctors and the industry was measured by asking doctors what they had received from industry during last year, the value in euro, and the number of visits from industry representatives. RESULTS: The response rate was 28.2%. Most physicians (90.5%) considered the study appropriate. Only 3.2% of doctors refused to take part in the study due to disagreeing with methodology. A total of 92.8% received something from industry during last year (62% cost associated with professional meetings, 60% material for continuing medical education). Mean value of gifts received was 900 euro (60-12,000 euro). By sex, women apparently received more drug samples, and men more payments for consulting or enrolling patients in trials. Doctors practicing in hospitals seemed to receive more gifts than primary care doctors, particularly trips or lunch. Number of visits of industry representatives (from 5 to 10 weekly) was associated with more gifts to doctors. CONCLUSIONS: The vast majority of doctors agree with the appropriateness of researching into the relationships between doctors and the pharmaceutical industry. Relationships between physicians and industry appear to be intensive, as seen in other studies. Response rate was low, but the simplicity and speed of the method are valuable advantages.

ABSTRACT

Fundamento y objetivo: Analizar la opinión de los médicos sobre la pertinencia de investigar las relaciones médico-industria farmacéutica, y explorar la utilidad de la encuesta realizada por correo electrónico. Material y métodos: Encuesta vía correo electrónico a 373 médicos autores de artículos en revistas médicas españolas en 2007. El estudio consta de 5 preguntas adaptadas de una encuesta realizada en EE.UU. con el mismo objetivo. Las variables de la encuesta son: tipo de ayudas que los médicos habían recibido de la industria en el último año, el valor en euros de dichas ayudas, y cuántas visitas recibieron de representantes de la industria. Resultados: La tasa de respuesta fue del 28,2%. El 90,5% de los médicos consideró pertinente el estudio. El 3,2% rechazó participar por desacuerdo con la metodología. El 92,8% afirmó haber recibido algo de la industria en el último año (el 62% inscripción a congresos viajes, el 60% material de formación continuada). Los médicos estimaron en valor medio de lo recibido en 900 € (60-12.000€). Con la cautela debidas a la tasa de respuesta y la muestra de conveniencia, aparecen algunas diferencias por sexo; las mujeres responden que reciben más muestras gratuitas, y los varones más honorarios por trabajo o por incluir pacientes en ensayos. También hay diferencias no significativas por ámbito de trabajo: los médicos de hospitales indican que reciben más ayudas que los de atención primaria, sobre todo viajes a congresos e invitaciones en restaurantes. El número de visitas de representantes (5-10 por semana) se asocia con mayor percepción de ayudas. Conclusiones: La gran mayoría de los médicos que responden a la encuesta consideran adecuado investigar las relaciones entre médicos e industria. Los datos sugieren que la relación entre médicos e industria es intensa, de forma concordante con otros trabajos publicados (AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Evaluar si se modifica la satisfacción de los pacientes que acuden al Servicio de Urgencias de un hospital de agudos, al cambiar su emplazamiento y su estructura física. Metodología: Dos encuestas telefónicas a usuarios del Servicio de Urgencias. La primera en 1997 y la segunda en 1998. Entre ambos periodos se estrena un nuevo Servicio de Urgencias. Se obtienen datos de opinión en relación a tiempos de espera, trato, información recibida, organización y estructura del servicio. Se comparan las proporciones o medias de estas variables entre las dos encuestas. Resultados: Se realizaron 135 y 143 encuestas. Las variables que muestran diferencias estadísticamente significativas son el tiempo medio hasta el triage, el tiempo medio hasta que llega el resultado de las pruebas, así como las que hacen referencia a la estructura física del servicio. El resto de las variables, relacionadas con el trato y la información que recibe el enfermo o la organización del servicio no muestran diferencias significativas. La calidad global media del servicio se puntúa de forma muy similar (8,15 frente a 8,45), así como el porcentaje que considera que se resolvió su problema o que volvería a usar el mismo servicio en caso necesario. Conclusiones: La reestructuración efectuada en el Servicio de Urgencias sí ha influido de manera positiva en el grado de satisfacción, mejorando la opinión de los pacientes sobre la estructura física y disminuyendo algunos tiempos de espera. No han variado las opiniones sobre el resto de las variables, lo que apunta a la búsqueda de nuevas estrategias para mejorar la calidad del servicio prestado (AU)
