Objective:
To show the impact of these consensus meetings on health-workers.
Design:
A descriptive study using a postal survey. SITE. The Province of Avila.
Patients Or Others Participants:
Registered doctors and nurses in the Province of Avila, in the month of March, 1991.
Main Measurements And Results:
19.2% of the doctors and 13% of the nurses answered the survey. The consensus meetings were known to 29.6% of the doctors and 13.5% of the nurses. Out of these, 70.3% of the doctors and 54.5% of the nurses refer to a modification in their behaviour. Nevertheless, the majority of the health-workers saw well-monitored hypertense patients monthly and believe that the entire population's level of cholesterol should be determined. This runs against the recommendations of the consensus meetings. There were no differences on this between those who knew of the meetings and those who did not.
Conclusions:
The results and recommendations of the consensus meetings were inadequately publicized. They have little or no effect on healthworkers' behaviour.
