Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A physician maldistribution exists when comparing rural with urban areas. It is necessary to ensure rural citizens have available, accessible, and acceptable quality medical care to remedy health disparities resulting from the lack of physicians. Using theories of symbolic interactionism and experiential place integration as the lenses for analysis, I sought to study the phenomenon of becoming a rural physician and the experiences that influenced physicians to choose rural practice. This was a qualitative study using a transcendental phenomenological approach. Fifteen individual interviews were conducted. For the participants in this study, rural upbringing, family values, early experiences regarding medicine, and identity in place were experiences prior to medical school that influenced the desire to practice and live in a rural area. Rural clinical medical school and residency experiences, the culture of the medical school, and preceptor relationships were experiences during medical school that influenced physicians' choices. Family, partners, and loan forgiveness were experiences that influenced practice type and location. Professional support and integration into the community were experiences influencing retention.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Vietnam, health professional shortage in rural and remote areas is a widely acknowledged problem. Policies promulgated up to now have had very little impact on correcting the critical geographical imbalance of health human resources. This study provides comprehensive and quantitative information to understand the determinants of recruiting and retaining family physicians for rural practice in Vietnam, to examine whether different subgroups (demographic and personal working experiences) put different values on different incentive policies, and how different the values are. To fulfill the objectives, a discrete choice experiment was designed and administered to elicit the job preferences of 315 family doctors. Data collection took place in all the regions of Vietnam (north, central, and south), which allowed the study to address characteristics of family physicians from different regions. An initial qualitative study identified three job attributes – income, career development, and government support for opening private clinic. Mixed logit regression was used for the statistical analysis of relative importance of job attributes and of individual characteristics. The findings of this study suggest that increasing current income by 50 percent has the highest impact on job location decisions for many subgroups (participants aged under 50, assistant doctors, and those with exposure to rural areas). However, the effect of income incentives decreases at a certain threshold. Non-pecuniary interventions have greater impact on some specific subgroups (those already left CHSs to higher level health facilities, individuals currently working at the national level, and individuals working in a primary health care area). It is possible that financial incentive intervention could be complemented with other types of non-financial interventions while still positively impacting family doctors’ deployment to rural areas. This research is the first attempt to provide quantitative information data regarding family physicians’ job preferences and trade-offs between different job attributes in Vietnam. This study is also the first attempt at examining how individual characteristics interact with incentive policies, then which in turn influence family doctors’ job location decisions in Vietnam setting. The findings of this study point out that it is critically important to customize incentive policies based on demographic and personal working experiences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physicians in rural settings are often called upon to treat a wide range of problems for which they have limited training due to a lack of technological, nursing, and consultant resources. Exploring Rural Medicine serves as an indispensable reference for health practitioners who face uniquely rural concerns in health promotion, care of illnesses, and professional practice issues. Among the topics explored are high-risk obstetrics, women′s health, mental health, environmental hazards, AIDS, terminal illness, and patient education strategies. This volume also discusses professional issues such as cultural awareness, ethical problems, quality assessment, and malpractice. Written by experts in a variety of fields who have rural medical experience, Exploring Rural Medicine is essential reading for the rural physician, students considering rural practice, and mid-level rural practitioners such as nurses and physician assistants. "The topics addressed in the book reflect [the authors′] enthusiasm and experiences, ranging from the prevention of teenage pregnancy to the care of terminally ill patients with cancer. . . . The book deals with important problems and issues and is shaped by the real-world experience of the authors. . . . Rural practitioners will enjoy picking up this book and comparing their approaches and insights with those of the authors." --The New England Journal of Medicine "[Exploring Rural Medicine] has the potential to fill an important niche; support materials for the rural physician. . . . Despite its length it is an ′easy read.′ It is well written with an eveness of style and quality almost impossible to achieve with so many authors." --Michael E. Samuels, The University of South Carolina "Exploring Rural Medicine seems perfect for medical students or residents doing a rural rotation. I also recommend it to any family physician or other health professional interested in exploring rural medicine." --Christopher T. Patricoski in The Journal of the American Board of Family Practice

This book was released on 2020-01-02 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patient-centered, high-quality health care relies on the well-being, health, and safety of health care clinicians. However, alarmingly high rates of clinician burnout in the United States are detrimental to the quality of care being provided, harmful to individuals in the workforce, and costly. It is important to take a systemic approach to address burnout that focuses on the structure, organization, and culture of health care. Taking Action Against Clinician Burnout: A Systems Approach to Professional Well-Being builds upon two groundbreaking reports from the past twenty years, To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System and Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century, which both called attention to the issues around patient safety and quality of care. This report explores the extent, consequences, and contributing factors of clinician burnout and provides a framework for a systems approach to clinician burnout and professional well-being, a research agenda to advance clinician well-being, and recommendations for the field.
