与工作相关的压力和对健康问题的敏感性意味着许多全科医生（GP）将在某个阶段体验患者的角色。然而，关于他们的疾病和病人经历的定性证据很少。我们的研究提供了一个解释的角度对全科医生的疾病的经验，这对他们的做法的影响。17名经历过重大疾病的全科医生参加了半结构化访谈。使用解释现象学分析（IPA）对数据进行分析。研究结果强调了共情和赋权之间的关系，并探讨了全科医生在咨询中自我披露的作用。我们提出的建议，如何在医患关系中的同理心可以通过考虑的权力和地位，以及通过与来自类似背景的患者的互动。未来的研究应该集中在更具体的方法，将这些想法融入医疗培训。
Work-related pressures and susceptibility to health problems mean that many general practitioners (GPs) will, at some stage, experience the role of patient. However qualitative evidence about their experiences of illness and patienthood is sparse. Our study offers an interpretative perspective on GPs' experiences of illness and the influence that this has had on their practice. Seventeen GPs who had experienced significant illness took part in semistructured interviews. Data were analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). The findings highlight the relationship between empathy and empowerment and explore the role of self-disclosure of GP status by GPs in consultations. We make suggestions as to how empathy in doctor-patient relationships can be developed through consideration of power and status as well as through interaction with patients from similar backgrounds. Future research should focus on more specific ways to integrate these ideas into medical training.
