In Belgium, single-handed practices have been the main form of primary care provision for years, but recently a trend is emerging towards introducing more group practices where a number of primary care physicians collaborate with other health professionals such as primary care nurses. The aim of this study was to measure the current support in general practices, and to gain insight in the general practitioner attitudes towards being supported by a practice nurse. A cross-sectional study was conducted among general practitioners who were currently working in a general practice in Flanders (Belgium). 271 general practitioners filled out an online questionnaire. 30% declared to be supported by a practice nurse. The majority (>80%) of general practitioners showed positive attitudes towards collaboration with practice nurses, however the job profile and ethical framework of practice nurses remain insufficiently clear. Nurses are found most suitable to take on tasks concerning patient education and technical nursing skills. Despite the lack of governmental incentives in Belgium, general practitioners have taken the initiative to employ practice nurses – possibly – based upon an experienced necessity. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
