摘要
Objective: Primary care clinicians have considerable potential to provide preventive care. This study describes their preventive care delivery. Methods: A survey of 384 community health nurses and allied health clinicians from in New South Wales, Australia was undertaken (2010-11) to examine the assessment of client risk, provision of brief advice and referral/follow-up regarding smoking inadequate fruit and vegetable consumption, alcohol misuse, and physical inactivity; the existence of preventive care support strategies; and the association between supports and preventive care provision. Results: Preventive care to 80% or more clients was least often provided for referral/follow-up (24.745.6% of clinicians for Individual risks, and 24.2% for all risks) and most often for assessment (34.4-69.3% of clinicians for individual risks, and 24.4% for all risks). Approximately 75% reported having 9 or fewer of 17 supports. Provision of care was associated with: availability of a paper creening tool; training; GP referral letter; and number of supports. Conclusion: The delivery of preventive care was limited, and varied according to type of care and risk. Supports were variably associated with elements of preventive care. Practice implications: Further research is required to increase routine preventive care delivery and the availability of supports. Crown Copyright (C) 2013 Published by Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
