Médecins généralistes et chirurgie bariatrique : une enquête qualitative

General practitioners and bariatric surgery: a qualitative study

Obésité

Résumé

Cette étude qualitative par entretiens semi-dirigés a abordé les opinions et expériences des médecins généralistes concernant la chirurgie bariatrique. Les médecins déclaraient mal connaître cette chirurgie et, pour la plupart, préféraient la prévention et l’éducation plutôt que de l’intégrer dans leur pratique. Ces résultats, discordants avec le rôle théorique accordé aux médecins généralistes dans les recommandations sur la chirurgie bariatrique, donnent des pistes pour améliorer le parcours de soin des candidats à cette chirurgie et leur suivi post-opératoire.

Abstract

This qualitative study focused on the opinions of general practitioners in France regarding bariatric surgery. The physicians declared that they had insufficient knowledge about this surgery. They favored prevention and education rather than the use of bariatric surgery as a tool to treat obesity. These results are discordant with the current recommendations on bariatric surgery and provide new leads for improving the care of bariatric surgery candidates and the long-term post-operative follow-up.
