背景资料。视频记录初级保健会诊是初级保健研究的一项既定技术。尽管视频记录被广泛使用来帮助回答各种研究问题,但人们对这种记录技术如何影响所采用的研究结果知之甚少。这篇文章调查了视频咨询在研究中的应用,并讨论了这种技术如何影响研究的内部和外部有效性。将视频会诊用于研究目的可能会对同意参与研究的医生和患者的特征造成偏见。然而,几乎没有证据表明视频记录会影响全科医生或患者的行为。建议正在考虑在他们的研究中使用视频咨询的研究人员。
Background. Video-recording primary care consultations is an established technique for primary care research. Despite the widespread use of video-recording to help answer a variety of research questions, little is known about how this recording technique influences the findings of studies in which it is employed.Objective. This article investigates how video-recorded consultations have been used in research and discusses how this technique may influence both the internal and external validity of studies.Conclusion. Using video-recorded consultations for research purposes may cause bias in the characteristics of doctors and patients who agree to participate in research. There is little evidence, however, that video-recording influences the behaviour of either GPs or patients. Recommendations are made for researchers who are considering using video-recorded consultations in their research.
