Objective:To survey the status quo of family doctor work mode in Shanghai Xuhui district.Methods:Semi-structured and structured in-depth interviews were conducted in Shanghai Xuhui district from April to June 2021, 11 directors, 12 deputy directors in charge and 30 family doctors from 12 community health service centers participated in the survey and completed two stages and four sessions of interviews on the development of the integrated and high-quality family doctor work mode and the ways to realize and the challenges to face. The records of interviews were transcribed, sorted and analyzed using the Colaizzi 7-step analysis method.Results:The survey showed that the family doctor contracting was carried out in a large team mode in the whole district, mainly for the elderly, and most of contracted residents were not included in health management and follow-up services. The team was composed of family doctors and assistants, and the routine outpatient service was the main work pattern, and the regular services also included the chronic disease follow-up and health check-up for elderly. On the issue of how to output high-quality integrated services, the majority of doctors (12/13) believed that the contracted individual should be taken as the unit of fine service, carrying out overall health assessment, optimizing medication plan, lifestyle guidance, one-stop service in hospital, etc.; only one doctor suggested that the family should be the management unit. For upgrading the working mode and service quality, insufficient time and energy were the main obstacle. Public health work occupied a lot of working time, but it seemed not be transformed into favorable resources and conveniences in health management and services. The professional assistants should carry out some responsibility to save family doctor′s time. The survey suggests that informatization, service space, and sufficient drug supply are the keys for ensuring high-quality and high-efficiency integrated services.Conclusion:The organizational structure of the family doctor team in Shanghai Xuhui district is relatively mature, but the integrated and high-quality service output has not yet reached. It is necessary to make regional overall planning and increase efforts to achieve the integration of medical treatment and prevention, so as to gain time for family doctors to carry out high-quality services. At the same time, it is also necessary to cultivate effective family doctor assistants, provide an information work platform that matches the work attributes and goals of family doctors, open up an integrated health management service space, and ensure the full range supply of drugs.

Objective:To explore the impact of health self-focused attention on knowledge, attitude and practice of health management in patients with essential hypertension.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. A total of 190 patients with essential hypertension were randomly selected from Shanghai Dapuqiao Community Health Service Center to participate in a questionnaire survey from October to December, 2021. The contents of the questionnaire included the general information of the patients, the degree of influence of hypertension on individuals, and the patients′ knowledge and personal cognition of hypertension, self-management behaviors, health self-focused attention, and blood pressure control. SPSS 25.0 and AMOS 24.0 were used to develop a structural equation model for analysis.Results:The recovery rate of questionnaires was 100.0% (190/190). Of the 190 patients, there were 82 males and 108 females with a mean age of (71.2±8.5) years. According to blood pressure, 190 hypertensive patients were divided into blood pressure controlled group ( n=119) and blood pressure non-controlled group ( n=71). There were significant differences in the total scores of hypertension self-management behavior and health self-focused attention between the two groups ( P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that the degree of influence of hypertension on individuals was negatively correlated with the disease knowledge and personal cognition, and the performance of hypertension self-management behavior ( r=-0.39 and -0.28, P<0.01), while the disease knowledge and personal cognition were positively correlated with the performance of hypertension self-management behavior and health self-focused attention ( r=0.29 and 0.27, P<0.01). Hypertension self-management behavior was positively correlated with health self-focused attention and blood pressure control ( r=0.28 and 0.48, P<0.01), and health self-focused attention was positively correlated with blood pressure control ( r=0.21, P<0.01). The equation model analysis showed that health self-focused attention had a driving effect on patients′ disease knowledge and cognition and self-management behavior. Health self-focused attention significantly affected patients′ mastery of disease knowledge and formation of correct cognition (path coefficient=0.28). In addition, hypertension patients′ disease knowledge storage and internal recognition of prevention and treatment strategies determined their self-management behavior (path coefficient=0.20). On the other hand, the impact of hypertension on patients life, work and economic burden played a negative role in their acceptance of disease management knowledge, formation of correct concepts, and adoption of self-management behaviors with adjustment coefficients of -0.48 and -0.22, respectively. Conclusion:Health self-focused attention may play an initial role in the process of changing the knowledge, attitude and behavior of hypertension patients.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of family intervention on self-management and glycaemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods:Clinical interventional trials on the family intervention for T2DM patients were searched in PubMed, Medline, Embase, Cochrance libraries, the CNKI, and the Wan Fang Database from January 2016 to June 2023. Literature was screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Self-management behavior, BMI and glycated haemoglobin of T2DM patients were used as outcome indicators. Meta-analysis and mapping were performed using Review Manager 5.3 software. A systematic review of the literature on indicators of self-management behavior measured using other instruments except Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities.Results:A total of 1 342 relevant papers were retrieved and 13 papers were included in the analysis, involving 1 454 patients, 740 in the intervention group and 714 in the control group. Meta-analysis showed that the inclusion of home-based intervention helped adult T2DM patients to improve self-management ( WMD=5.03, 95% CI:4.43-5.63, P<0.001) and reduce glycated hemoglobin compared with the hospital-patient dichotomous model ( WMD=-0.77, 95% CI:-1.32--0.21, P=0.007), but the effect on BMI was unclear ( WMD=-0.38, 95% CI:-1.04-0.28, P=0.25). The results of the systematic review supported that home-based intervention improving self-management behaviors of adult T2DM patients. Conclusion:Family intervention can improve self-management behaviors and reduce glycated haemoglobin levels in adults T2DM patients.
