'Motivational work': a qualitative study of preventive health dialogues in general practice.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The aim of this article is to explore preventive health dialogues in general practice in the context of a pilot study of a Danish primary preventive intervention 'TOF' (a Danish acronym for 'Early Detection and Prevention') carried out in 2016. The intervention consisted of 1) a stratification of patients into one of four groups, 2) a digital support system for both general practitioners and patients, 3) an individual digital health profile for each patient, and 4) targeted preventive services in either general practice or a municipal health center.

Methods

The empirical material in this study was obtained through 10 observations of preventive health dialogues conducted in general practices and 18 semi-structured interviews with patients and general practitioners.
