Evaluación del desempeño de los médicos en torno a la toma de decisiones compartida en el Hospital UTPL en el periodo julio 2012/marzo 2013

Abstract

The objective of the research was to analyze the doctor - patient interaction around shared decision making at the UTPL Hospital. It was a descriptive, quantitative, observational, cross-sectional study. Of the universe of 22 outpatient doctors, a sample of 5 of the specialties of Gynecology, Internal Medicine, Gastroenterology and Family Medicine were taken; sampling was non-probabilistic for convenience; the covert observation was used by audio recording of 13 medical consultations, which were analyzed using the OPTION Patient Observation Scale. Of the 5 participating physicians, 4 apply the deliberative model; there was no great difference between physicians in treating dyspepsia and family planning, which were the health problems raised. It was concluded that 80% of the participating physicians apply shared decision-making, even though they do not reach an optimal level, and that daily health problems such as dyspepsia and family planning can be treated by different specialties, and not one ( for example Gastroenterology and Gynecology).
