How do general practitioners handle couple relationship problems in consultations? A focus group study
Overview
This qualitative study explores general practitioners' experiences and educational needs regarding couple relationship problems through focus group interviews with 18 physicians. The findings highlight themes such as pragmatic case-finding, role confusion, and the potential pitfalls of individual supportive therapy, which may inadvertently consolidate one partner's perspective. The resource is intended for clinicians interested in understanding primary care providers' approaches to relational issues within medical consultations.
