[Physician compliance in the treatment of hypertension].
The physician compliance is determined by knowledge, skill and behaviour. In 103 physicians working in the basic medical care investigations of the compliance were performed. Partly clear deviations from the guidelines recommended were found in the habits of diagnostics and therapy. These deviations frequently concerned even the majority of the physicians asked for. While the knowledge can relatively easily be judged according to objective criteria, the behaviour is difficult to be measured. Of 4 physicians with comparable knowledge concerning the clinical picture of hypertension the influence of the behaviour of the physician on the success of therapy was investigated during a psycho-physiologically orientated group therapy and the breath-induced relaxation training. The univariate and discriminance-analytic investigations as well as the factor analyses showed the behaviour of the physician as essentially determinating for the success of the therapy. The determination of the physician compliance gives the possibility to recognize still existing insufficiencies in the treatment of hypertension. It serves for the further optimization of the therapy of hypertension. Measures increasing the compliance among others can be derived also for the training and further training.
