[Ensuring primary care in Germany-findings from a quantitative survey of general practitioners].

ABSTRACT:

Background

Given the risk of a shortage of general practitioners in private practice, the question arises as to which concepts can make an effective contribution. To date, there is a lack of studies that comprehensively shed light on how general practitioners, based on their professional experience, view different approaches to ensuring primary care in the long term.

Objectives

The aim of the study was to determine the positions, attitudes, and experiences of general practitioners with regard to ensuring primary care.

Methods

Using an online survey, a total of 4176 general practitioners were surveyed between February and June 2023. In addition to the descriptive analysis, a t-test on independent samples was used to determine significant differences between two groups.
