Summary

Trust between general practitioners (GPs) and occupational physicians (OPs) is higher when they perceive equal status and have more frequent contact. Improving these factors can enhance collaboration between these medical professionals.

Area of Science:

  • Medical sociology
  • Healthcare professional collaboration
  • Interprofessional trust dynamics

Background:

  • Trust is crucial for effective collaboration between general practitioners (GPs) and occupational physicians (OPs).
  • Social identity theory and trust theories guided hypotheses on interprofessional trust.
  • Expected differences in trust levels and influencing factors between GPs and OPs were explored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate disparities in trust between GPs and OPs.
  • To identify key factors influencing trust between these medical groups.
  • To inform programs aimed at enhancing GP-OP cooperation.

Main Methods:

  • A mail survey was distributed to 2297 doctors, including 1728 GPs and 569 OPs.
  • Data from 547 returned questionnaires were analyzed.
  • Statistical analysis was employed to examine trust levels and predictors.

Main Results:

  • Hypotheses regarding higher knowledge-based trust than identification-based trust and the link between contact frequency and identification-based trust were supported.
  • Occupational physicians (OPs) did not show higher identification-based trust than general practitioners (GPs).
  • Equal perceived status positively influenced knowledge-based trust for OPs, while higher perceived status negatively impacted GPs' knowledge-based trust.

Conclusions:

  • Interprofessional cooperation between GPs and OPs may be in its nascent stages.
  • Future programs should prioritize equalizing perceived status and increasing contact frequency.
  • These interventions are expected to foster identification-based trust and improve collaboration.
