Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Health Workforce Studies

Background:

  • Declining numbers of obstetric providers have reduced access to obstetric care, particularly for vulnerable populations.
  • Stabilizing or increasing provider numbers is crucial for improving access to essential obstetric services.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the willingness of family physicians and obstetricians to resume obstetrics practice.
  • To identify factors influencing decisions to leave or return to obstetrics.

Main Methods:

  • A 1989 survey of 1965 Washington State family physicians and obstetricians.
  • A 66% response rate provided insights into provider attitudes toward obstetrics practice.

Main Results:

  • 42% of family physicians and 19% of obstetricians who had quit obstetrics would consider resuming.
  • Key reasons for leaving obstetrics included malpractice premiums and fear of lawsuits.
  • Family physicians willing to resume obstetrics were often newer to practice, worked in HMOs, or were in rural areas.

Conclusions:

  • Addressing concerns of newer, HMO-affiliated, and rural family physicians may encourage them to resume obstetrics.
  • Targeted interventions can help mitigate the shortage of obstetric providers.
