Psychosocial factors that influence the doctor-patient relationship in the consultation of clinical genetics.
Abstract
The genetic clinical practice has been recognized as a consultation dedicated to the diagnosis and management of genetic disorders by the geneticist. However, the data on how genetic consultation works in Colombia are unknown and there is a lack of information about the other aspects of the genetic management of the population with genetic disorders. Materials and methods: An observational and semi-structured interview methodology was combined and performed in this study for two geneticists in one health institution of Cali, Colombia. The interview and observations were carried out in two and fourteen moments, respectively. Results: External and internal factors, which might influence and determine the dynamics of the consultation, were identified, such as barriers in the health system, type of consultation and personal beliefs of the geneticist. Conclusion: In summary, the holistic approach to the population with genetic disorders has to transcend the biological approach focused on deficiency and consider both the psychological and social approaches.
