In July 2019, 73 researchers took part in the survey. Five main topics were derived from their statements regarding the ethics review of qualitative research: 1. relevance of qualitative research expertise; 2. cooperation between researchers and ethics committees; 3. transparency of review criteria; 4. dealing with formal review requirements; 5. evaluation of the review's significance for qualitative research. The results show the potential of ethics review for reflection on ethical questions in qualitative research.

Training can mitigate the associated problems in the future, but currently only 42% of practices provide training. A survey of a sample of large ophthalmic centers was conducted to test the hypothesis that larger practices and MVZs provide disproportionate training. In addition, an interaction between ownership (physician-owned (äE); third-party owned (F)) and training engagement was evaluated. In a questionnaire-based complete survey (2022) of large ophthalmic centers of different ownerships organized in a network, the training rate by main operating site (HBS), the number of MFA trainees (MFA-A) per HBS, staffing problems and planned change in training commitment were collected. The distribution measures of the quantitative data were analyzed overall and separately by sponsoring organization and tested for significance.Results were compared to data from a representative survey (2020/2021) of all practices and MVZs. In order to determine the proportion of all ophthalmic MFA-A accounted for by the sample, their total number was determined in an extrapolation. The training rate of the total of 100 HBS of the 14 surveyed centers (11 äE, 3 F) of the sample was 82% (äE: 93%, F: 79%), which was higher than the representative survey (41%). In the sample, there were on average 5.9 MFA-A per HBS (äE: 5.6, F: 7.1), in the comparative survey 1.5. 50% of the centers in the sample reported staffing problems, 25% wanted to expand their training commitment; the comparative values of the representative survey were 11% for both parameters. Stratified by sponsorship, neither training rate nor MFA-A per HBS showed significant differences. According to projections, there were nearly 1,966 MFA-A working in ophthalmology in 2021, of which 19.5% were at centers in the study population. Of all the MFA-A in the sample, 71% were at the significantly larger centers by number of HBS owned by third-party. The survey confirms the positive correlation between the size of practices and MVZ and commitment to training. There are no significant differences according to the ownership of organization.</p>","PeriodicalId":47653,"journal":{"name":"Gesundheitswesen","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140858320","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was to explore experiences, support needs and possible improvements from the perspective of such physicians in the outpatient sector with a focus on primary care.Method In this qualitative study, semi-structured interviews were conducted with physicians not raised and trained in Germany and working in the outpatient setting in Germany. The evaluation was carried out by means of qualitative content analysis.

Proposed solutions were categorized in structuring measures (official, easily accessible guidelines for physician migration, paid qualification period), specific preparatory courses for the outpatient sector, and personal support such as mentoring and networking of outpatient physicians in training.Conclusions Some of the problem areas mentioned were similar to those known from the inpatient setting.
