Abstract:

INTRODUCTION: Undertaking training in rural areas is a recognised way of helping recruit staff to work in rural communities. Postgraduate year two medical doctors in New Zealand have been able to undertake a three-month placement in rural practice as part of their pre-vocational training experience since November 2010. AIM: To describe the experience of a rural general practice team providing training to a postgraduate year two medical trainee, and to describe the teaching experience and range of conditions seen by the trainee. METHODS: A pre- and post-placement interview with staff, and analysis of a logbook of cases and teaching undertaken in the practice. RESULTS: The practice teams experience of having the trainee was positive, and the trainee was exposed to a wide range of conditions over 418 clinical encounters. The trainee received 22.5 hours of formal training over the three-month placement. DISCUSSION: Rural general practice can provide a wide range of clinical experience to a postgraduate year two medical trainee. Rural practices in New Zealand should be encouraged to offer teaching placements at this training level. Exposure to rural practice at every level of training is important to encourage doctors to consider rural practice as a career. KEYWORDS: Education, medical, graduate; general practice; rural health services

Abstract:

AbstractThe recent government health strategy document described the integration between primary and secondary care in Ireland as often poor and outlined plans to redress this deficit. In mental health care, the gradual shift away from institutions over the past four decades has resulted in the GP becoming the most frequent professional contact for people with mental disorders. However, access to specialist opinion is usually available only for the fraction of psychiatric presentations which are formally referred to the psychiatric service.On-site psychiatric liaison to primary care is commonly practised in other countries but not in Ireland. Research in the area suggests possible advantages for approaches which aim to enhance GPs' psychiatric skills while selectively encouraging referral of more serious disorders. This model has been adopted by GPs and psychiatrists in east Cavan and may be relevant to other similar settings, especially in the context of forthcoming changes in the organisation of primary care services.

Abstract:

This study looked at the effect of information technology on rural medical practice. Eight GPs in rural medial practice in Victoria were interviewed,and World Wide Web sites were accessed for information relevant to the rural GPs use of information technology. The results indicated that rural GPs are developing their use of information technology according to their needs. The use of information technology is changing the nature of rural medical practice, and bringing more support and information to rural GPs. However, some of the technologies now available are of little perceived use to the GPs,and GPs with good support staff are better able to take advantage of the technology than GPs with little or inadequate support. The findings of this study have implications for policies being implemented to increase the availability of information technology to support rural health care.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION Practice size and location may affect the quality and safety of health care. Little is known about contemporary New Zealand general practice characteristics in terms of staffing, ownership and services. AIM To describe and compare the characteristics of small, medium and large general practices in rural and urban New Zealand. METHODS Seventy-two general practices were randomly selected from the 2014 Primary Health Organisation database and invited to participate in a records review study. Forty-five recruited practices located throughout New Zealand provided data on staff, health-care services and practice ownership. Chi-square and other non-parametric statistical analyses were used to compare practices. RESULTS The 45 study practices constituted 4.6% of New Zealand practices. Rural practices were located further from the nearest regional base hospital (rural median 65.0 km, urban 7.5 km (P < 0.001)), nearest local hospital (rural 25.7 km, urban 7.0 km (P = 0.002)) and nearest neighbouring general practitioner (GP) (rural 16.0 km, urban 1.0 km (P = 0.007)). In large practices, there were more enrolled patients per GP FTE than both medium-sized and small practices (mean 1827 compared to 1457 and 1120 respectively, P = 0.019). Nurses in large practices were more likely to insert intravenous lines (P = 0.026) and take blood (P = 0.049). There were no significant differences in practice ownership arrangements according to practice size or rurality. CONCLUSION Study practices were relatively homogenous. Unsurprisingly, rural practices were further away from hospitals. Larger practices had higher patient-to-doctor ratios and increased nursing scope. The study sample is small; findings need to be confirmed by specifically powered research.

Abstract:

All women aged 20–49 in a general practice were sent a questionnaire about their reproductive health, and 72% responded. 78% of respondents were using a method of fertility control. More than a quarter of women were obtaining their contraceptive supplies (condoms especially) from non-medical outlets. Knowledge of the existence of emergency contraception was high (83%). The general practitioner (GP) was the most popular source of contraceptive supplies for those aged under 40 years and more than four-fifths of women said that they would rather turn to their GP than to other sources for future contraceptive advice.

Abstract:

Dynamic assessment of the effective surgical workforce recommends 27,300 general surgeons in 2030; 2,525 more than are presently being trained. Rural shortages are already critical and there has been insufficient preparation for this need. A literature review of the factors influencing the choice of rural practice was performed. A systematic search was conducted of PubMed and the Web of Science to identify applicable studies in rural practice, surgical training, and rural general surgery. These articles were reviewed to identify the pertinent reports. The articles chosen for review are directed to four main objectives: 1) description of the challenges of rural practice, 2) factors associated with the choice of rural practice, 3) interventions to increase interest and preparation for rural practice, and 4) present successful rural surgical practice models. There is limited research on the factors influencing surgeons in the selection of rural surgery. The family practice literature suggests that physicians are primed for rural living through early experience, with reinforcement during medical school and residency, and retained through community involvement, and personal and professional satisfaction. However, more research into the factors drawing surgeons specifically to rural surgery, and keeping them in the community, is needed.

Abstract:

Information on the readiness of Irish general practice to participate in structured chronic disease management (CDM) care is limited. This study explores the logistic, staffing, and organizational preparedness of Irish general practice to do so, stratified by their size, location, and training status; implementation challenges were also explored. An anonymous, paper-based random survey was performed. A chi-square test was applied to compare practices by location (urban/rural), post-graduate training status (with/without), and numbers of GMS patient (≥1500/>1500 patients) and prevalence ratio and Poisson regression analysis to examine the relationship of staffing with key variables. Overall, 125/243 practices participated, 22% were rural, 56.6% were post-graduate training practices, and 53.9% had ≥1500 GMS patients. The rural, non-training practices and those with <1500 GMS patients had substantially lower staffing levels. The average number of GPs was significantly less in rural practices; however, the difference was insignificant for nurses. Salary costs for practice nurses in all practices and staff IT training and clinical equipment in smaller practices were important barriers. Most practices reported ‘inadequate’ waiting times for access to almost all referral and paramedical services. The study recommends addressing the staffing, funding, and training challenges within Irish general practice to effectively implement a structured CDM program.

Abstract:

This study investigates the prevalence and pattern of benzodiazepine use in an isolated Australian rural general practice setting. Some clinical features of psychological dependence were also examined. Data were obtained from 771 patients attending each of two general practices over a five-day period. The results indicated that 11.3% of the sample had used a benzodiazepine in the preceding four weeks and that 82% of these had been regular users for over six months. Prevalence increased with age and 36.5% of patients over the age of 70 were using benzodiazepines. Features suggesting some degree of psychological dependence were found in over 50% of users. The findings illustrate the extensive and prolonged use of benzodiazepines and raise questions about overuse and dependence, particularly in the elderly.

Abstract:

Epidemiology in Country Practiceby William N. Pickles, published in 1939, has been a source of continuing interest and challenge especially to general practitioners (Watson, 1982; Booth, 1987). Pickles worked for over 50 years as a general practitioner (GP) in rural Wensleydale where there were many isolated villages in which natural immunity against various infections was often lacking. And so the source of infection could usually be traced, and, with little or no immunity, spread was often rapid.

Abstract:

ICT has been used in medical General Practice throughout Australia now for some years, but although most General Practices make use of ICT for administrative purposes such as billing, prescribing and medical records, many individual General Practitioners themselves do not make full use of these ICT systems for clinical purposes. The decisions taken in the adoption of ICT in general practice are very complex, and involve many actors, both human and non-human. This means that actor-network theory offers a most suitable framework for its analysis. This article investigates how GPs in a rural Division of General Practice not far from Melbourne considered the adoption and use of ICT. The study reported in the article shows that, rather than characteristics of the technology itself, it is often seemingly unimportant human issues that determine if and how ICT is used in General Practice.

Abstract:

In a one-year prevalence study of conspicuous psychiatric morbidity in two group general practices, one urban and the other rural, personality disorder was diagnosed in 5.3% by the GP and in 5.6% by the psychiatrist, but this increased to 28% when personality disorder was assessed using a structured interview. The prevalence of personality disorder was higher in the urban practice than in the rural one but there was no consistent association between personality disorder and mental state disorder, with the exception of alcohol abuse and dependence. The high rate of personality disorder found using the interview schedule is likely to be a true finding, and failure to recognise this hidden morbidity is important in both general and psychiatric practice.

Abstract:

ObjectiveLittle is known about differences in hospital harm (injury, suffering, disability, disease or death arising from hospital care) when people from rural and urban locations require hospital care. This study aimed to assess whether hospital harm risk differed by patients’ rural or urban location using general practice data.DesignSecondary analysis of a 3-year retrospective cross-sectional general practice records review study, designed with equal numbers of rural and urban patients and patients from small, medium and large practices. Hospital admissions, interhospital transfer and hospital harm were identified.SettingNew Zealand (NZ) general practice clinical records including hospital discharge data.ParticipantsRandomly selected patient records from randomly selected general practices across NZ. Patient enrolment at rural and urban general practices defined patient location.OutcomesAdmission and harm risk and rate ratios by rural-urban location were investigated using multivariable analyses adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, deprivation, practice size. Preventable hospital harm, harm severity and harm associated with interhospital transfer were analysed.ResultsOf 9076 patient records, 1561 patients (17%) experienced hospital admissions with no significant association between patient location and hospital admission (rural vs urban adjusted risk ratio (aRR) 0.98 (95% CI 0.83 to 1.17)). Of patients admitted to hospital, 172 (11%) experienced hospital harm. Rural location was not associated with increased hospital harm risk (aRR 1.01 (95% CI 0.97 to 1.05)) or rate of hospital harm per admission (adjusted incidence rate ratio 1.09 (95% CI 0.83 to 1.43)). Nearly half (45%) of hospital harms became apparent only after discharge. No urban patients required interhospital transfer, but 3% of rural patients did. Interhospital transfer was associated with over twice the risk of hospital harm (age-adjusted aRR 2.33 (95% CI 1.37 to 3.98), p=0.003).ConclusionsRural patient location was not associated with increased hospital harm. This provides reassurance for rural communities and health planners. The exception was patients needing interhospital transfer, where risk was more than doubled, warranting further research.

Abstract:

General practitioner (GP) to patient ratios fall below benchmarks, particularly in rural areas. A marketing solution to this significant social problem might be to develop recruitment strategies differentiating medical practices (brands) and targeting different segments of the GP market. This article uses data gathered in Australia from practice managers, GPs, and recruitment advertisements to develop a taxonomy of family, job, and practice attributes that could be used to recruit GPs. Current recruiting strategies emphasize a mix of family, job and practice attributes, but better recruitment outcomes might be achieved by the implementation of branding principles that more clearly differentiate general practices with targeted recruitment advertisements. This research prescribes a path for future research on GP recruitment. The first step is to gather data on the relative and absolute value of different attributes within the taxonomy. These data can then be used to develop targeted marketing strategies for recruiting GPs to rural practices.

Abstract:

This article reviews the literature concerning barriers in making a diagnosis of dementia in general practice and examines these from a rural perspective. It is proposed that the increasing prevalence of dementia in coming years in Australia will be felt most keenly in rural communities where there are already shortages of GPs and dementia-specific services to manage growing demand. Evidence suggests that dementia is often not specifically diagnosed by GPs and that this is a global issue. There are many barriers to the diagnosis of dementia in general practice, including time constraints, diagnostic uncertainty, denial of symptoms by patients and families, and stigma. This review examines these barriers and their impact on making a dementia diagnosis from a rural general practice perspective. Identification of these practice issues and their influence on service delivery is essential to inform relevant policy decisions and to improve dementia management in rural general practice.
