Abstract Background In response to address the rising burden of cardiovascular risk factors, Malaysian government has implemented Enhanced Primary Healthcare (EnPHC) interventions in July 2017 at public clinics level. Healthcare providers (HCPs) play crucial roles in healthcare service delivery and health system reform can influence HCPs’ job satisfaction. However, studies evaluating HCPs’ job satisfaction following primary care transformation remain scarce in low- and middle-income countries. This study aims to evaluate the effects of EnPHC interventions on HCPs. Methods This is a quasi-experimental study conducted in 20 intervention and 20 matched control clinics. We surveyed all healthcare providers who were directly involved in patient management. A self-administered questionnaire which included six questions on job satisfaction were distributed at baseline (April and May 2017) and post-intervention (March and April 2019). Difference-in-differences analysis was used in the multivariable linear regression model in which we adjusted for providers and clinics characteristics to detect the changes in job satisfaction following EnPHC interventions. Results A total of 1042 and 1215 HCPs responded at baseline and post-intervention respectively. At post-intervention, the intervention group reported higher level of stress and change in score between two groups was -0.14 (β= -0.139; 95% CI -0.266,-0.012; p =0.032). In subgroup analysis, nurses from intervention group experienced increase in work stress following EnPHC interventions (β= -0.223; 95% CI -0.419,-0.026; p =0.026). Additionally, the same group also responded that they were less likely to perceive their profession as well-respected at post-intervention (β= -0.175; 95% CI -0.331,-0.019; p =0.027). Conversely, allied health professionals from intervention group were more likely to report a good balance between work and effort (β= 0.386; 95% CI 0.033,0.738; p =0.032) after implementing EnPHC interventions. Conclusions Our findings suggest that EnPHC interventions had resulted in some untoward effect on HCPs’ job satisfaction. Job dissatisfaction can have detrimental effects on the organisation and healthcare system. Therefore, provider experience and well-being should be considered before introducing healthcare delivery reforms to avoid overburdening of HCPs.

Abstract Background Primary care providers (PCPs) have always played an important role in cancer diagnosis. There is increasing awareness of the importance of their role during treatment and survivorship. We examined changes in PCP utilization from pre-diagnosis to survival for women diagnosed with breast cancer, factors associated with being a high user of primary care, and variation across four Canadian provinces. Methods The cohorts included women 18+ years of age diagnosed with stage I-III invasive breast cancer in years 2007–2012 in British Columbia (BC), Manitoba (MB), Ontario (ON), and Nova Scotia (NS) who had surgery plus adjuvant chemotherapy and were alive 30+ months after diagnosis (N = 19,589). We compared the rate of PCP visits in each province across phases of care (pre-diagnosis, diagnosis, treatment, and survival years 1 to 4). Results PCP use was greatest during treatment and decreased with each successive survival year in all provinces. The unadjusted difference in PCP use between treatment and pre-diagnosis was most pronounced in BC where PCP use was six times higher during treatment than pre-diagnosis. Factors associated with being a high user of primary care during treatment included comorbidity and being a high user of care pre-diagnosis in all provinces. These factors were also associated with being a higher user of care during diagnosis and survival. Conclusions Contrary to the traditional view that PCPs focus primarily on cancer prevention and early detection, we found that PCPs are involved in the care of women diagnosed with breast cancer across all phases of care.

Abstract Background Primary care providers are pillars of China’s medical and health sectors. However, due to the gap between career expectations and reality, they enter a career plateau phase through excessive pressure. This study aims to examine the prevalence and associated factors of the career plateau of primary care providers in Heilongjiang Province, China, and proposes strategies to improve and promote their career advancement. Methods Based on city-level GDP growth in the province, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 1500 primary care providers (effective response rate = 85.8%). Pearson’s chi-square analysis and binary logistic regression were used to analyse the factors associated with their career plateau. Results The prevalence rate of career plateau was 61.8% among primary care provider respondents. The factors associated with a career plateau included having a spouse (OR = 1.394, 95%CI = 1.056–1.839), working more than 40 h per week (OR = 1.473, 95%CI = 1.146–1.893); working for 11–20 years (OR = 1.607, 95%CI = 1.150–2.246); working for more than 20 years (OR = 2.818, 95%CI = 1.938–4.097); having an average monthly income of 3001–4000 yuan (OR = 1.886, 95%CI = 1.197–2.969) or 4001–5000 yuan (OR = 2.104, 95%CI = 1.256–3.524); and reporting unsatisfactory or very unsatisfactory sleep quality (OR = 1.838, 95%CI = 1.317–2.567). Conclusions Primary care providers in Heilongjiang Province face a high career plateau, with marital status, weekly working hours, number of years employed, monthly average income, and sleep quality considered associated factors. To eliminate negative factors of the career plateau, it is necessary to provide support to primary care providers in four domains: individual, organisation, society, and policy.

Abstract Background: Healthcare providers’ health and safety can influence the quality of patient care. The attitude towards work, either satisfaction or dissatisfaction, could influence the way in which people perceive their health status. To check this hypothesis, some studies have shown an association between healthcare providers’ health status and job satisfaction. The present study examined the associations between self-perceived health status and job satisfaction among primary care providers in China, and the moderating effect of job type.Methods: Data were collected by using questionnaire survey among Chinese primary care providers, who work for general practice teams (GPTs). The GPT members’ self-perceived health, job satisfaction, and job type were evaluated, where job satisfaction comprised work, promotion and training, and work environment. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed.Findings: Of the 536 participants, 48.51% reported good physical health, and 55.78% reported good mental health. Participants reported being moderately satisfied with their job. Self-perceived physical and mental health were significantly and positively associated with job satisfaction in similar magnitudes. Promotion and training satisfaction were more strongly associated with physical health, whereas work environment had the strongest association with mental health. Job type moderated this association, wherein the association was significant only for non-general practitioners (non-GPs).Conclusion: Primary care providers’ job satisfaction is significantly associated with their self-perceived health. Actions are needed to increase their job satisfaction and therefore to improve their health. Meanwhile, further research into GPs’ health determinants is needed.
