Abstract

Background and objectives: General practitioner (GP) recruitment strategies have been explored in previous research and are vital to workforce development. This study explores factors that influence engagement with Tasmanian GP training pathways and hence GP workforce recruitment and supply.

Method: Eighteen interviews investigated the experiences of Tasmanian GP trainees, supervisors and trainee support personnel to explore enablers and barriers to training engagement.

Results: Factors influencing training engagement included aspects of trainees' personal lives, professional career-related factors and elements of training support. Personal aspects included family dynamics, health and finances. Professional factors included perceptions of GP careers, remuneration and stigma. Training support factors related to complex interactions between the trainee and the training organisation, supervisors, medical educators, practices and peers.

Discussion: Personal aspects are non-modifiable; however, professional factors and training support features can be targeted to foster engagement with GP training pathways. Considering training as a complex system is helpful in translating this evidence into practice.

塔斯马尼亚州全科医生培训途径：关于经验、促进因素和障碍的定性研究。

背景和目的：全科医生（GP）招聘策略已经在以前的研究中进行了探索，对劳动力发展至关重要。本研究探讨了影响塔斯马尼亚全科医生培训途径的因素，因此全科医生的劳动力招聘和供应。方法：对塔斯马尼亚全科医生学员、主管和培训支持人员进行18次访谈，探讨培训参与的促成因素和障碍。结果：影响培训投入的因素包括个人生活因素、职业生涯相关因素和培训支持因素。个人方面包括家庭动态、健康和财务。专业因素包括对全科医生职业、薪酬和耻辱的看法。培训支持因素与受训者与培训组织、主管、医学教育者、实践和同行之间的复杂互动有关。讨论：个人方面是不可修改的；然而，专业因素和培训支持功能可以有针对性地促进全科医生培训途径的参与。将训练视为一个复杂的系统有助于将这些证据转化为实践。
