Structural Equation Modeling Analysis of Factors Influencing Family Doctor Contracted Services Based on Survey Data from Changning District, Shanghai.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Family doctors fulfill the role of gatekeepers in protecting residents' health with contracted services. Providing these valuable services involves multiple causes, relationships, and indirectly observable variables. This study used structural equation modeling to construct a dynamic model of the work of family doctors to provide a basis for incentives.

Methods

This study used 2-year follow-up data from a survey of 294 family doctors in Changning District, Shanghai. Data were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. The measurement model and structural model were defined, identified, verified, integrated, and revised to identify the factors motivating family doctors to provide contracted services. A dynamic path for the family d
