Patients' expectations of primary health care from both patients' and physicians' perspectives: a questionnaire study with a qualitative approach
CONCLUSIONS: Patients and physicians have different views of what patients expect of primary health care. While patients' short-term expectations were perceived by physicians, their long-term expectations were not. Patients expected more of a personal journey through the primary health care system while physicians observed patients' expectations to concern the responsibilities placed on primary health care. Identifying and meeting patients' expectations is an important part of patient-centered care, and a better understanding of patients' expectations is needed to improve health professionals' consultation skills.PMID:3865...

Perceptions and beliefs of general practitioners on their role in the cancer screening programmes in the Netherlands: a mixed-methods study
CONCLUSION: GPs were generally positive about the CSPs and their current role within these programmes. Nevertheless, several options have been proposed to improve the CSPs, especially to increase screening uptake for populations in a socioeconomically disadvantaged position. Since it is of utmost importance to screen those who are most at risk of developing the screening-specific tumours, efforts should be made to achieve this goal.PMID:38658815 | DOI:10.1186/s12875-024-02394-5 (Source: Primary Care)

The impact of hypertension follow-up management on the choices of signing up family doctor contract services: does socioeconomic status matter?
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggested that regular hypertension follow-up management was associated with family doctor contract services and SES influenced this relationship. Primary health care should improve the contracting rate of family doctors by strengthening follow-up management of chronic diseases. Family doctors should focus on improving services quality and enriching the content of service packages especially for older adults with higher income and education level.PMID:38658816 | DOI:10.1186/s12875-024-02383-8 (Source: Primary Care)

Impact of COVID-19 on essential healthcare services at the primary healthcare level in Armenia: a qualitative study
CONCLUSIONS: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on the delivery and utilization of essential healthcare services at PHC facilities, especially for those with chronic conditions who needed continuous care. Unified national-level guidance and technical capacity are needed to direct the provision of essential services at the PHC level, promote effective health communication, and implement digital platforms for the uninterrupted provision of essential care during public health emergencies.PMID:38658818 | DOI:10.1186/s12875-024-02377-6 (Source: Primary Care)

Professional identity and GP trainers as educational leaders
Educ Prim Care. 2024 Apr 23:1-5. doi: 10.1080/14739879.2024.2329891. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGP training in the UK has a long history of success, however that is measured. That success is in part due to the formality and credentialling that underlies preparation to take on that role of a GP teacher, which is somewhat under current threat due to workforce pressures. We identify three important factors associated with the GP trainer function [leadership, professional identity and clinical care improvement] that are not often analysed but are at some risk if preparation for the GP trainer role is reduced or devalued. Of...

The association between depressive symptoms and executive function in type 1 diabetes population: A scoping review
CONCLUSION: In summary, the seven studies in this review suggest that individuals with T1DM who report depressive symptoms are at a higher risk of poor executive function; a clear association between depressive symptoms and executive function in individuals with T1DM remains inconclusive. There is a need to explore this relationship in the future.PMID:38653620 | DOI:10.1016/j.pcd.2024.04.001 (Source: Primary Care)

"They are saying it's high, but I think it's quite low": exploring cardiovascular disease risk communication in NHS health checks through video-stimulated recall interviews with patients - a qualitative study
CONCLUSIONS: Effective communication of CVD risk within NHSHC remains challenging, and lifetime risk metrics still lead to mixed levels of understanding in patients. However, visual presentation of information, alongside risk manipulation during NHSHCs can help to increase understanding and prompt risk-reducing lifestyle changes.TRIAL REGISTRATION: ISRCTN10443908.
