To understand the public’s intention on the scope of granting prescribing rights to public health physicians, to provide reference opinions on the pilot work in progress in China, and to provide scientific basis and support for further exploring the policy formulation and promotion of granting prescribing rights to public health physicians in the province.
Using snowball method to conduct this survey, combined with personal interview method to collect the suggestions of different occupational groups in Sichuan province on the different scope of practice of public health doctors.
A total of 1 706 valid questionnaires were collected in this study. The results showed that 89.45% of the respondents supported giving public health doctors the right to prescribe, 76.85%-83.06% of the respondents suggested that public health doctors’ right to prescribe diseases such as infectious diseases, chronic diseases, occupational diseases, parasites and endemic diseases be completely lifted. 90.97% of the respondents believed that public health doctors should be allowed to prescribe non-drug interventions to patients with chronic diseases and people at risk of chronic diseases.
Based on the existing pilot programme, the subsequent scope of practice of public health physicians’ prescriptive authority should be further improved, and consideration should be given to the gradual trial implementation of prescriptive authority for non-pharmacological interventions, so as to give full play to the functional advantages of public health physicians as prevention-oriented physicians, and at the same time the mechanism for the training, development and assessment of public health physicians should be strengthened, in order to provide the grass-roots level with a high-quality team of public health physicians.
