Stage 1 involved identifying evidence-based solutions using the Behaviour Change Wheel (BCW) framework, informed by previous research involving 400 GPs and 600 patients/consumers. Stage 2 co-developed website content with GPs. Stage 3 piloted a prototype website at a national GP conference. Stage 4 iteratively improved the website based on \"think aloud\" interviews with GPs and patients. Stage 5 was a feasibility study to evaluate potential efficacy (guidelines-based recommendations for each risk category), acceptability (intended use) and demand (actual use over 1 month) amongst GPs (n = 98).
Stage 1 identified GPs as the target for behaviour change; the need for a new risk calculator/decision aid linked to existing audit and feedback training; and online guidelines as a delivery format. Stage 2-4 iteratively improved content and format based on qualitative feedback from GP and patient user testing over three rounds of website development. Stage 5 suggested potential efficacy with improved identification of hypothetical high risk patients (from 26 to 76%) and recommended medication (from 57 to 86%) after viewing the website (n = 42), but prescribing to low risk patients remained similar (from 19 to 22%; n = 37). Most GPs (89%) indicated they would use the website in the next month, and 72% reported using it again after one month (n = 98). Open feedback identified implementation barriers including a need for integration with medical software, low health literacy resources and pre-consultation assessment.
Following a theory-based development process and user co-design, the resulting intervention was acceptable to GPs with high intentions for use, improved identification of patient risk categories and more guidelines-based prescribing intentions for high risk but not low risk patients. The effectiveness of linking the intervention to clinical practice more closely to address implementation barriers will be evaluated in future research.
阶段1涉及使用行为变化轮(BCW)框架确定基于证据的解决方案,以前的研究涉及400名全科医生和600名患者/消费者。第二阶段与GP共同开发网站内容。第三阶段在全国GP会议上试用了原型网站。第4阶段基于对全科医生和患者的“大声思考”访谈,对网站进行了迭代改进。第5阶段是评估潜在疗效的可行性研究(每个风险类别的基于指南的建议),全科医生(n=98)的可接受性(预期用途)和需求(实际使用超过1个月)。
阶段1将GP确定为行为改变的目标;需要与现有审计和反馈培训相关的新风险计算器/决策辅助;以及作为交付格式的在线指南。阶段2-4在三轮网站开发中,基于来自GP和患者用户测试的定性反馈,迭代地改进了内容和格式。第5阶段显示潜在的疗效,在查看网站(n=42)后,可以更好地识别假设的高风险患者(从26%到76%)和推荐的药物(从57%到86%),但对低风险患者的处方仍然相似(从19%到22%;n=37).大多数全科医生(89%)表示他们将在下个月使用该网站,72%报告在一个月后再次使用它(n=98)。公开反馈确定了实施障碍,包括需要与医疗软件集成,低健康素养资源和咨询前评估。
遵循基于理论的开发过程和用户共同设计,由此产生的干预措施对于具有高使用意向的全科医生来说是可以接受的,改善了对患者风险类别的识别,并为高风险但非低风险患者提供了更多基于指南的处方意向。将干预措施与临床实践更紧密地联系起来以解决实施障碍的有效性将在未来的研究中进行评估。
