Despite general practitioners' (GPs') key role in Germany`s primary health care, clinical research practice is scarce. Clinical mainly conducted at inpatient facilities, although their results are rarely transferable. German GPs have no extra time or funding for research, as well limited training. To support practice-based networks (PBRNs) developed. As they will be based on an active involvement of GPs, we need more information GPs` participation-readiness. The aim this study was to explore...
Abstract Background Practice-based research networks (PBRNs) have been implemented to support clinical in German general practice since 2020. General practitioners (GPs) are often critical concerning the feasibility of trials. Among others, high workload, lack resources GP teams and little acceptance trial requirements by patients assumed barriers. Therefore, aim this study was evaluate perspectives their on set up BayFoNet during implementation two pilot cluster-randomized trials improve...
Drug Prescribing for Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease in General Practice: a Cross-Sectional Study
Improving postgraduate medical training is one important step to attract more students into general practice. Keeping pace with international developments moving competence-based curricula for practice training, the aim of this project was develop and implement such a curriculum in Germany. A five-step, peer-based method used development process including panel testing "test version" pilot implementation phase. The CanMEDS framework served as basis new German training. Four from European...
It is well accepted that medical faculty teaching staff require an understanding of educational theory and pedagogical methods for effective teaching. The purpose this study was to evaluate the effectiveness a 5-day education program.An open prospective interventional using quantitative qualitative instruments performed, covering all four levels Kirkpatrick model: Evaluation 1) 'Reaction' on professional emotional level standardized questionnaires; 2) 'Learning' applying multiple choice...
Recruitment to general practice is a major concern in many countries. Cross-national exploration of motivation for career choice and satisfaction could help inform workforce planning.Our aim was explore job GP trainees newly qualified GPs (NQGP) across seven European countries.We surveyed recently the Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Norway, Portugal United Kingdom using web-based questionnaire.The number individuals who responded 3722 (2533 trainees; 1189 NQGP). The most frequently...
Introduction General practitioners often criticise clinical trials for their poor applicability in primary care, which may at least partially explain why engagement care research remains limited. In order to enhance research, the German government has funded six regional practice based networks (PBRNs). Within Bavarian PBRN (BayFoNet), two cluster-randomised pilot will be conducted. This paper presents protocol of process evaluation accompanying both trials, aims explore relevance,...
Background: Although the number of elderly patients with fractures is increasing, there have been only a few studies to date efficacy collaborative treatment by trauma surgeons and geriatricians.Methods: Data on over age 75 femoral neck, trochanteric, proximal humeral, pelvic ring were evaluated from eras before after establishment certified center for geriatric traumatology (CGT) (retrospective analysis, n = 169; prospective 216).Moreover, data also analyzed younger (aged 65-74) same types...
Abstract Background One of the main challenges for biomedical research lies in computer-assisted integrative study large and increasingly complex combinations data order to understand molecular mechanisms. The preservation materials methods such computational experiments with clear annotations is essential understanding an experiment, this recognized bioinformatics community. Our assumption that offering means digital, structured aggregation annotation objects experiment will provide...
Laws regulating education of most health professional groups in Germany today mean that curricula re-profiling response to changing priorities the practice environment is a significant challenge. Legally dictated theoretical and clinical requirements for vocational training professionals leaves little room movements such as interprofessional education. An educational innovation was needed worked within existing structures Germany. The result formal collaboration between Academy Health...
Although demands on family physicians (FP) are to a large extent similar in the European Union, uniform assessment standards for medicine (FM) specialty training and do not exist. Aim of this pilot study was elicit compare different modalities methods FM five countries.A semi structured survey undertaken based convenient sample countries (Denmark, Germany, Poland, Netherlands United Kingdom). The respondents were asked respond ten items about aspects their respective countries. If available,...
There is a decline in the relative numbers of general practitioners Germany. Earlier research showed that professional relationship between and specialists overshadowed by conflicts which could influence medical students not to choose career practice. The aim study analyse potential discrepancies practitioners' self-perception their role social self-image relation identify barriers might prevent from becoming practitioner. A qualitative design consisting 16 interviews with was chosen. Data...
This paper describes the theory-based development of a standardized training model for peer tutors. The aim is to qualify tutors teach communication skills integrated with practical clinical skills, medical students in pre-clinical curriculum. As result, are encouraged form basic understanding biopsychosocial diseases early their studies.The model's design based on Kern curriculum as adapted by McLean et al., who outlined following steps: planning, implementation, and evaluation/feedback....
Chronically ill are vulnerable to vaccine preventable infections. Consequently, their vaccination behavior is highly relevant. Depressive comorbidities frequent in these patients. Furthermore, patients mainly diagnosed, treated and vaccinated primary care. Therefore, we aimed investigate the associations between depression (COVID-19 influenza) adult chronically care
One of the main challenges for biomedical research lies in integrative study large and increasingly complex combinations data order to understand molecular mechanisms, instance explain onset progression human diseases. Computer-assisted methodology is needed perform these studies, posing new upholding scientific quality standards reproducibility science. This pertains preservation 'materials methods' computational experiments as a record evidence biological interpretation their results. We...
Abstract Background A shortage of general practitioners (GPs) is common to many European countries. To counteract this, it essential understand the factors that encourage or discourage medical students from choosing become a GP Objective evaluate students’ attitudes towards practice and identify them considering career as GP. Methods In this multinational cross-sectional online survey, 29 284 nine German, four Austrian two Slovenian universities were invited answer questionnaire consisting...
The competence centre for Residency Training in Family Medicine Bavaria (CCRTB) was established to improve the quality of postgraduate medical education by offering training and mentoring programmes residents, providing train-the-trainer courses supervisors. Beyond that, regional Networks (RTN) on avoluntary basis were developed facilitate structured efficient clinical rotation programs. Primary aim investigate burden burnout development professionalism among CCRTB-residencies within a...
Abstract Background The international study PRICOV-19 aims to assess the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on organisation primary health care.
