Riassunto

Questo studio presenta i risultati di un sondaggio tramite questionario sulla percezione soggettiva dei medici liberi professionisti ticinesi del programma di prevenzione primaria contro i fattori di rischio cardiovascolari destinato a tutta la popolazione del Cantone condotto dal Dipartimento delle opere sociali. Il 93 % dei medici (82 % popolazione) conosce il programma che è giudicato molto utile o utile dall 82 % degli intervistati. È pure valutato il gradimento di singole azioni dell'intervento comunitario (spot TV e opuscoli informativi) come pure la frequenza di pratiche preventive durante la consultazione (informazione sul tabagismo, misura della pressione, intervento in caso di ipercolesterolemia). I risultati dello studio sono stati inoltre analizzati sulla base dei questionari ricevuti prima (tasso di risposta 41 %) e dopo aver effettuato un successivo richiamo (tasso di risposta finale 61 %). Conclusioni e risultati non differiscono con l'aumento del tasso di risposta.

Zusammenfassung

Diese Arbeit stellt die Resultate einer schriftlichen Umfrage bei den freipraktizierenden Tessiner Ärzten vor. Wie haben sie die Präventionskampagne gegen die kardiovaskulären Krankheiten, die vom Dipartimento delle Opere Sociale durchgeführt wurde und sich an die ganze Tessiner-Bevölkerung richtete, aufgenommen? 93 % der Ärzte ist das Programm vertraut, und 82 % stufen es als nützlich oder sehr nützlich ein. Ferner wurde ihr Urteil über die einzelnen Aktionen (TV-Spot und Informationsbroschüren) erfragt. Auch die Häufigkeit von Vorsorgemassnahmen in ihren Sprechstunden (Information bezüglich Tabak, Blutdruckmessen, Massnahmen bei Hypercholesterinämie) wurden erfasst. Die spontane Antwortquote von 41 % wurde mit einer erneuten Aufforderung auf 61 % erhöht. Die Resultate änderten sich mit der Zunahme der Antwortenrate nicht.

Summary

This study presents the results of a questionnaire research into the subjective perception of the free-practicing doctors in Ticino concerning the primary prevention programme against cardiovascular risk factors, directed to the whole cantonal population by the Social Welfare Department. 93 % of the doctors (82 % of the population) are aware of the programme and 82 % of those interviewed judged it to be useful or very useful. Furthermore, the single initiatives of the programme (TV-advertisements and information-Leaflets) were also evaluated, as well as the frequency of preventive practices during medical visits (information on tabaco risks, blood pressure measurement, treatment of hypercholesterolemia). This study was also analyzed on the basis of questionnaire received before (response rate 41 %) and after having sent out a further reminder (final response rate 61 %), The results and conclusions did not differ with an increase in the reply rate.
