dc.description.abstract | Objectives: To investigate general practitioners’ (GPs)
experiences in managing patients with intellectual
disabilities (ID) and mental and behavioural problems
(MBP).
Design: Qualitative study using in-depth interviews.
Setting: General practice in Hedmark county, Norway.
Participants: 10 GPs were qualitatively interviewed
about their professional experience regarding patients
with ID and MBP. Data were analysed by all authors
using systematic text condensation.
Results: The participants’ knowledge was primarily
experience-based and collaboration with specialists
seemed to be individual rather than systemic. The GPs
provided divergent attitudes to referral, treatment,
collaboration, regular health checks and home visits.
Conclusions: GPs are in a position to provide
evidence-based and individual treatment for both
psychological and somatic problems among patients
with ID. However, they do not appear to be making use
of evidence-based treatment decisions. The GPs feel
that they are left alone in decision-making, and find it
difficult to find trustworthy collaborative partners. The
findings in this study provide useful information for
further research in the field. | no_NO |
