    Car, Josip
    Background: Uncomplicated urinary tract infection is one of most common infections in family practice. There was a change of recommendations for treatment 8 years ago. Aim: A study was undertaken to ... describe Slovene family physicians decisions in treatment of female patients with symptoms of lower urinary tract infection, and to analyse which doctor and surgery characteristics influence decision making process. The findings of the study were to be used as a base for guideline development, and for later evaluation of it. Method: Vignette describing 35 years old patient with uncomplicated urinary tract infection was presented in a questionnaire with open ended questions about ordering additional investigations, treatment; sick leave and follow up to a representative sample of Slovene family physicians. Vignette was followed by questions about doctor and surgery characteristics. Treatment decisions were analysed. We determined which doctor and surgery characteristics influence decision making process. Results: 129 (75.4%) doctors responded to the questionnaire. There was a big variation in all 'steps' of the decision making process (ordering additional investigations, treatment, sick leave and follow up). Doctors with higher workload were ordering more additional investigations as well as those who have to wait for laboratory results more then 24 hours. Doctors who had spent more time on continuing medical education chose the first choice drug more frequently. Doctors with higher workload were also prescribing longer sick leave. None of doctors' and surgeries' characteristics we were looking at had an influence ondecision for follow up. (Abstract truncated at 2000 characters)
