摘要
在美国,越来越多的医生开始与医生助理(PA)和执业护士(NP)合作,但对于他们如何看待与 PA 和 NP 合作对其临床实践的影响却知之甚少。我们利用一项新的全国性调查来研究医生对与 PA 和/或 NP 合作在病人数量、护理质量、时间使用和工作量方面的看法。在我们对 5823 名医生的分析样本中,59% 的医生表示曾与助理医师和/或护师合作。大多数人表示,助理医师和护师对他们的临床实践产生了积极影响。在几项发现中,在医学院工作和收入较高的医生更有可能表示助理医师在所有 4 个方面都改善了他们的临床实践,而在女性比例较高的专科工作的医生对与助理医师合作的评价较低。夏威夷原住民和太平洋岛民医生以及收入较高的医生更有可能表示护师在所有 4 个方面都改善了他们的临床实践。这些发现从医生的角度为医疗服务改革提供了宝贵的见解。
Physicians working with physician assistants and nurse practitioners: perceived effects on clinical practice.
Physicians in the United States are increasingly working with physician assistants (PAs) and nurse practitioners (NPs), but little is known about how they perceive working with PAs and NPs affects their clinical practice. We used a new national survey to examine physicians' perceptions of working with PAs and/or NPs on their patient volume, care quality, time use, and workload. Among our analytical sample of 5823 physicians, 59% reported working with PAs and/or NPs. Most reported that PAs and NPs positively affected their clinical practice. Among several findings, physicians working in medical schools and with higher incomes were more likely to indicate that PAs improve their clinical practices in all 4 aspects, while being in specialties with higher women's representation was associated with lower ratings for working with PAs. Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander physicians and those with higher incomes were more likely to signify that NPs improved their clinical practices in all 4 aspects. These findings provide valuable insights, from the physicians' perspective, on care delivery reform.
