Abstract:
Assisting women in attaining their reproductive goals is crucial for improving the well-being of families and children. As the first point of contact for healthcare, general practitioners (GPs) are ideal for family planning (FP) and preconception care (PCC). However, primary care interventions\' efficacy is unclear. The aim of this study was to examine GPs\' knowledge, attitudes, and perspectives on FP and PCC service management. Most GPs were aware of FP and PCC services and held a firm conviction that they should be primarily accountable together with obstetrician-gynaecologists. However, it is worth noting that less than 50% of respondents reported receiving thorough and comprehensive knowledge of their respective specialities. Those with general medicine qualifications demonstrated a high level of commitment to providing such services. The women\'s GPs and those with training in general medicine prescribed birth control pills and emergency contraception three times more frequently than the other doctors who suggested condoms or traditional methods or referred patients to another specialist (p < 0.05). In conclusion, PCC is of the utmost importance, and its effective implementation demands the collaboration of policymakers, healthcare providers, and individuals. GPs are essential in managing FP and PCC. They must incorporate more in-depth PCC into their clinical practice.
摘要:
协助妇女实现其生殖目标对于改善家庭和儿童的福祉至关重要。作为医疗保健的第一个联系点,全科医生(GP)是计划生育(FP)和孕前保健(PCC)的理想选择。然而,初级保健干预措施的疗效尚不清楚。这项研究的目的是检查全科医生的知识,态度,以及对FP和PCC服务管理的看法。大多数全科医生都知道FP和PCC服务,并坚信他们应该主要与妇产科医生一起负责。然而,值得注意的是,不到50%的受访者表示接受了对各自专业的全面和全面的了解。那些具有普通医学资格的人表现出对提供此类服务的高度承诺。与建议使用避孕套或传统方法或将患者转介给另一位专科医生的其他医生相比,这些妇女的全科医生和接受过一般医学培训的妇女开避孕药和紧急避孕药的频率是其他医生的三倍(p<0.05)。总之,PCC是最重要的,它的有效实施需要决策者的合作,医疗保健提供者,和个人。GP对于管理FP和PCC至关重要。他们必须将更深入的PCC纳入临床实践。
