A systematic review and thematic synthesis of qualitative studies exploring GPs' and nurses' perspectives on discussing weight with patients with overweight and obesity in primary care

“…We also built on existing literature that had highlighted that clinicians may not always stigmatise individuals but find it hard to negotiate stigma when advocating weight loss 61 . Our study also complemented literature 62 which noted the impact of weight stigma on patients' care, finding that experiences of perceived substandard care may cause avoidance of care, poor adherence to weight management interventions and distrust of clinicians.…”

Weight assessment and the provision of weight management advice in primary care: a cross-sectional survey of self-reported practice among general practitioners and practice nurses in the United Kingdom

“…Examples include lack of time or competing priorities, knowledge of obesity guidelines or relevant training, concerns of sensitivity or negative consequences (e.g. upsetting patients), and scepticism about the efficacy of advice [22,23,[44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51]. Similar themes have also been reported in patient-focused research [20,21,31].…”

“…For example, research with patients has suggested that perceived simplistic advice around consumption and exercise, the two forms of advice provided most frequently in this study, may have limited resonance with some patients [31]. Finally, it is possible that differences in weight management practice between GPs and PNs, and the barriers reported elsewhere [44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51], may relate to inherent differences in their professional roles, responsibilities, and nature of patient contact. It may, therefore, be beneficial for research to further examine PN and GPs separately to examine best practice, barriers, and opportunities for focussed interventions among each group.…”

Behavioral ethics of representatives of the professional legal community of Russia in the information Internet field

“…The ideas for the existence of moral models in various social groups can find of Benjamin Grant Purzycki, Anne C. Pisor, Coren Apicella, Quentin Atkinson and Dimitris Xygalatas [7]. Quite a lot of research has been devoted to the study of moral discourse in various professional corporations, for example, the Maxine Blackburn and Afroditi Stathi medical corporations [8]. Since the Internet and integrated into it social networks have wide access to them, it is quite logical to use scientific studies on the moral postulates of the media, for example, works by Bradley Wilson [9], when studying moral aspects of behavior in social networks.…”
