VA Healthcare Costs of a Collaborative Intervention for Chronic Pain in Primary Care
BACKGROUND: Chronic pain is costly to individuals and the healthcare system, and is often undertreated. Collaborative care models show promise for improving treatment of patients with chronic pain. The objectives of this article are to report the incremental benefit and incremental health services costs of a collaborative intervention for chronic pain from a veterans affairs (VA) healthcare perspective. METHODS: Data on VA treatment costs incurre…
Interventions to improve physicians’ well-being and patient care: A commentary
Identifying Physicians Likely to Benefit From Depression Education: A Challenge for Health Care Organizations
BACKGROUND: Few methods exist to identify physicians who might benefit from depression education. OBJECTIVES: To develop a measure of physicians' confidence or self-efficacy in caring for depressed patients and assess it's reliability and validity. RESEARCH DESIGN: A national sample of primary care physicians were surveyed and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was used to identify factors underlying physicians' responses to 26 items. We named the…
Refining the Measurement of Physician Job Satisfaction: Results From the Physician Worklife Survey
BACKGROUND: Physician job satisfaction has been linked to various patient care and health system outcomes. A survey instrument that concisely measures physicians' satisfaction with various job facets can help diverse stake-holders to better understand and manage these outcomes. OBJECTIVE: To document the development and validation of a multidimensional physician job satisfaction measure and separate global satisfaction measures. DESIGN: Self-admi…
Measuring Physician Job Satisfaction in a Changing Workplace and a Challenging Environment
BACKGROUND: Changes in the demographic, specialty, and employment sector composition of medicine have altered physicians' jobs, limiting autonomy and reducing morale. Because physician job satisfaction has been linked to clinical variables, better measurement might help to ameliorate conditions linked to medical disaffection, possibly improving health care. OBJECTIVE: To document conceptual development, item construction, and use of content exper…
Short Versions of the Timed Manual Performance Test: Development, Reliability, and Validity
The Timed Manual Performance test is gaining wider use as a measure of functional status in research and clinical settings. It is a rather lengthy 27-item test, however, requiring the use of a large cumbersome panel of doors. The authors, therefore, studied 1,286 community-dwelling elderly subjects recruited through their primary care provider to: 1) reduce the number of items in the Timed Manual Performance (TMP) test and 2) assess the reliabili…
Uncertainty and Professional Work: Perceptions of Physicians in Clinical Practice
Despite growing awareness of uncertainty in technical and scientific fields, uncertainty among physicians, except among physicians in training, is not well researched. Existing studies have primarily used small samples and qualitative methods. This article reports the first rigorously developed measures of uncertainty administered to a large sample of practicing physicians. In contrast to denial and the tendency to minimize uncertainty reported i…
Physicians?? Reactions to Uncertainty in Patient Care A New Measure and New Insights
Although variations in physicians' practice patterns and use of resources are well documented, the reasons for these variations are less well understood. The uncertainty inherent in patient care may be one explanation. Existing measures of intolerance to uncertainty, developed in contexts outside of patient care, fail to explain these variations. To address this limitation, the Physicians' Reactions to Uncertainty scale was developed. A questionn…
