    Area of Science:

    • Family Medicine
    • Primary Care
    • Social Determinants of Health

    Background:

    • Family and household problems are common in primary care settings.
    • Understanding the classification and impact of these problems is crucial for effective family physician intervention.
    • Existing classification systems may not fully capture the complexity of family-level health issues.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate a classification system for family and household problems encountered in primary care.
    • To analyze the types and prevalence of these problems within families.
    • To identify which family members are most affected by specific problem categories.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of 186 family/household problems recorded by 14 Israeli family physicians across 55 families.

  • Categorization of problems into four major groups: individual health affecting others, relationship issues, social problems, and multi-member health issues.
  • Utilized diagnostic titles from the International Classification of Health Problems in Primary Care (ICHPPC-2-Defined).

    • Main Results:

    • Over half of the identified problems involved individual psychological or physical health issues affecting other household members.
    • The ICHPPC-2-Defined system effectively classified nearly all identified family/household problems.
    • Mothers reported more problems than fathers or children and were perceived as most affected by social and relationship issues.

    Conclusions:

    • A structured classification system, such as ICHPPC-2-Defined, can effectively categorize family and household problems in primary care.
    • Individual health problems have a significant ripple effect on the entire household.
    • Mothers appear to bear a disproportionate burden of social and relationship challenges within the family unit, warranting targeted support.
