Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Following the World Health Organization statement \'Health for all\', family medicine is a specialty that provides continuing, comprehensive healthcare to individuals and their families. Despite that, it is still not yet utilized to its full potential by the developing Middle-Eastern community. The aim of our study is to assess the perception and utilization of family medicine services among Abu Dhabi Island\'s community.
UNASSIGNED: A cross-sectional study was conducted targeting Abu Dhabi Island\'s community. A representative sample with 95% confidence level and 5% margin of error was calculated taking into consideration the latest report by the Abu Dhabi Statistics Center. A total of 395 adult participants were included in the study, who were asked to fill in an electronic-based validated questionnaire. SPSS software was then used for data analysis.
UNASSIGNED: Majority of participants were UAE nationals (81%) and married (71.1%), with almost equal male (50.4%) to female ratio (49.6%). Participants had positive experiences in primary healthcare (PHC) overall, regardless of their gender, nationality and marital status. Positive experience percentages dropped with higher age and educational level (P-value <0.05). A better understanding was noticed among ≥50 years of age with the rightful destination for emergency symptoms (P-value <0.05). Participants overall agreed on PHC being the preferred allocation for treatment of fever, body aches and sore throat.
UNASSIGNED: Primary healthcare centres were chosen as preferred destinations for emergency and non-emergency cases, as the vast majority had positive experiences when attending them.

摘要：
■遵循世界卫生组织的声明“人人享有健康”，家庭医学是一个提供持续的专业，为个人及其家人提供全面的医疗保健。尽管如此,发展中的中东社区仍未充分发挥其潜力。我们研究的目的是评估阿布扎比岛社区对家庭医疗服务的感知和利用情况。
■针对阿布扎比岛社区进行了一项横断面研究。考虑到阿布扎比统计中心的最新报告，计算了具有95％置信水平和5％误差范围的代表性样本。共有395名成年参与者被纳入研究，他们被要求填写一份基于电子的验证问卷。然后使用SPSS软件进行数据分析。
■大多数参与者是阿联酋国民（81％）和已婚（71.1％），男性(50.4%)与女性(49.6%)的比例几乎相等。参与者在初级医疗保健(PHC)方面总体上有积极的经验，不管他们的性别,国籍和婚姻状况。积极经验百分比随着年龄和教育水平的提高而下降（P值<0.05）。在≥50岁的患者中，发现有更好的了解紧急症状的正确目的地（P值<0.05）。参与者总体上同意PHC是治疗发烧的首选分配，身体疼痛和喉咙痛。
■选择基层医疗中心作为紧急和非紧急病例的首选目的地，因为绝大多数人在参加会议时都有积极的经历。
