abstract: 'Background: Obesity management in primary care has been suboptimal due
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to lack of access to allied health professionals, time, and resources.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Purpose: To understand the weight management approaches used by primary
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
care providers working in team-based settings and how they assess the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
most suitable approach for a patient.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Methods: A total of 20 primary care providers (13 nurse practitioners
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and 7 family physicians) working in 6 multidisciplinary clinics in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ontario were interviewed. All interviews were recorded, transcribed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
verbatim, and coded using NVivo qualitative software. Conventional
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
content analysis was used to inductively elucidate codes, which were
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
then clustered into categories.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Results: A referral to on-site programming was the most frequent weight
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
management approach used. The pharmacological approach was underutilized
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
due to adverse side effects and cost to patients. Primary care providers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
assessed the most suitable weight management approach based on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
patients'': preference, level of motivation, income status and access to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
resources, body mass index and comorbidities, and previous weight loss
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
attempts. Primary care providers perceived that referring to health
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
professionals and educational resources were the approaches preferred by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
patients.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Conclusions: The team-based nature of these clinics allowed for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
referrals to various on-site professionals and/or programs. Some
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
barriers to pursuing weight management avenues with patients were
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
patient dependent.'
