Article Synopsis
- Person-centered primary care measures (PCPCM) are essential for delivering high-quality and culturally sensitive healthcare, but access to these measures is unequal, especially between urban and rural areas.
- A study in Beijing evaluated PCPCM performance in different regions, revealing that urban areas had significantly higher scores (U-PCPCM=3.31) compared to rural areas (R-PCPCM=3.10), indicating better primary care quality in urban settings.
- The findings suggest that patients in rural areas face challenges accessing quality primary care, and healthcare providers should work towards reducing these disparities to promote health equity.
Background: With the conflict between the promise of ageing in health and longevity and the limited availability of health resources and social support, older adults in China inevitably experience anxieties surrounding health risks. This study aims to investigate how older adults perceive the health risks that come with getting older, explore the degree to which health risks affect older adults, and advocate for active engagement in practices for managing health risks.
Methods: Using purposive sampling, three districts of Beijing (Xicheng District, Fengtai District, and Daxing District, respectively) were selected for the research.
Objective: To evaluate the current state of family doctor contract services (FDCS) in Beijing, identify the roles of family doctors who have worked with disabled older adults and investigate the barriers and facilitators faced by family doctors in providing care for them.
Design: A convergent mixed methods study was carried out from October 2020 to January 2021 to collect and analyse both quantitative and qualitative data. The integration strategies in this study were connecting the results of the quantitative phase to data collection of the qualitative phase.
