摘要: 背景 医师多点执业政策有利于促进优质医师资源的合理流动,缓解居民“看病难”的问题,但目前医师多点执业注册情况并不十分理想。目的 探讨江苏省医师对医师多点执业政策的认知情况。方法 采用目的抽样法,在苏南、苏中、苏北3个地区分别选取3家不同等级(三级、二级、一级)的医疗机构,然后采取方便抽样法,在9家医疗机构选取符合本研究标准的医师为调查对象。于2017年7—8月,采用自行设计的调查问卷对纳入的医师进行调查。问卷的主要内容包括:医师的基本情况,对医师多点执业的认知情况(包括了解程度、是否赞成、意愿、对多点执业政策前景的看法、认为医师多点执业可能带来的好处、关心的因素、存在的顾虑及愿意采用的多点执业工作形式)。共发放问卷204份,回收有效问卷194份,问卷的有效回收率为95.1%。结果 194例医师中,非常了解/了解/一般了解医师多点执业政策者占93.3%(181/194);赞成多点执业政策者占78.4%(152/194);愿意进行多点执业者占70.1%(136/194);非常看好医师多点执业者占47.4%(92/194);认为医师多点执业有助于实现自我价值、增加收入来源者分别占80.9%(157/194)、75.3%(146/194);关心的因素为薪酬、尊重度、工作环境者分别占65.5%(127/194)、62.4%(121/194)、60.8%(118/194);参加多点执业的顾虑为医疗事故及纠纷难以处理、工作环境的差异者分别占62.4%(121/194)、60.3%(117/194)。选择医生工作室、医联体内部的对口帮扶、注册多点执业单位作为多点执业形式者分别占61.9%(120/194)、53.6%(104/194)、47.9%(93/194)。不同性别、职称、所在医疗机构区域的医师对多点执业了解程度的比较,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);不同职称、所在医疗机构区域、所在医疗机构等级的医师对多点执业的赞成情况比较,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);不同工龄、职称、所在医疗机构区域的医师对多点执业的意愿比较,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);不同性别、学历、职称、所在医疗机构区域的医师对多点执业前景的看法比较,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论 多数医师了解、赞成并愿意进行多点执业,但仍有顾虑。不同基本情况的医师对多点执业政策的认知情况有差异。
