    Area of Science:

    • Primary Care
    • Psychology
    • Health Services Research

    Background:

    • General practices often encounter patients with psychological distress.
    • Counselling services integrated into primary care can improve patient outcomes.
    • Early models of integrated care are crucial for understanding current service development.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the subjective and objective effects of a newly established counselling service within a general practice.
    • To assess patient and doctor perceptions of the counselling intervention.
    • To determine the impact on medication use and healthcare consultations.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey was conducted on the first 80 patients utilizing the counselling service.
    • Data collection included subjective patient/doctor feedback and objective measures (drug prescriptions, consultations).

  • Questionnaires were used to gather patient preferences for care providers.

    • Main Results:

    • The counselling service demonstrated positive effects, improving patient and doctor-reported outcomes.
    • A reduction in psychotropic drug prescriptions and medical consultations was observed.
    • Most surveyed patients preferred counselling with the dedicated counsellor over general practitioner consultations for their issues.

    Conclusions:

    • Integrated counselling in primary care settings can yield significant benefits for patient well-being.
    • Counselling may reduce reliance on pharmacotherapy and general medical services.
    • Patient preference suggests a valuable role for specialized counselling within general practice.
