Aproximación cualitativa a las actitudes y expectativas de los médicos en el proceso de informatización de la atención primaria

Abstract

Computerising PC is a process whose repercussions on medical care are far from neutral and so require rigorous discussion and evaluation. Defining step-by-step and measurable objectives, transparency in management and the promotion of evaluative research would all favour the effective development of projects to computerise PC.

Expectations, experiences and attitudes of patients and primary care health professionals regarding online psychotherapeutic interventions for depression: protocol for a qualitative study

“…These methods provide the opportunity to explore the points of view of both patients and medical personnel involved in the therapeutic process, thus helping researchers to understand them [29]. This study does not quantify the hypothetical positive or negative aspects of online therapeutic intervention or the correlations between opinions and other types of variables [25,50]. Through this research, an attempt is made to understand the values and experiences of the participants in the context of the study, which are valid to the extent that they contribute to the knowledge and understanding of the therapeutic reality of this type of intervention.…”

“…Focus groups [22] will also be formed to explore dynamic interactions in light of cultural characteristics and concrete values that can be the basis for participants’ views and preferences. In this way, qualitative information will be obtained from a collective and group vision that only emerges from individual interviews with some difficulty [23-25]. This methodological triangulation will increase the consistency and rigor of the study by combining multiple techniques.…”
