158 Chapter 6 Supplementary Tables Supplementary Table 1. Quotes resulting from the interviews (n=5) Topic Number GP Quote Topic I Q1 I As GPs we have to be involved in the screening programmes. The contacts resulting from engagement is eminently suiting GPs. The programmes are concerning cancer, which always scares patients. This is thus an opportunity for us, where we can make a difference. Patients appreciate it very much when we are involved, and when we guide them along the way. This should also be part of a GP’s natural interest. Q2 I It is important that a GP personally calls if a screening outcome is showing abnormalities. For patients it is a ‘bad news call’, women (people) are shocked by that. I think, that we as GPs should have these kind of conversations. Thereby, it is also handy; so we can keep track of our patients. Q3 I It would help, though, to have even more clarity on what is expected of you as a GP with regard to the CSPs. Especially since it changes over time. Q4 I We are talking about indicated prevention, this simply is part of the GP’s job. Q5 I I never really felt responsible for the CSPs, or at least not concerning the execution of the programmes. The initiative does not lie with the GP; it could only be, as maximum, a shared responsibility to meet certain targets. Then you will have to formulated a target together first; what do you want the minimum uptake to be? Q6 II In my opinion indicated prevention, such as: smoking cessation, reducing obesity and cancer screening, is part of the range of tasks of a GP. This also makes sense since we know our patients and thus know on who we should focus. Q7 II I want to be close to my patients. I like that, therefore I also decided to become a GP. For me it does not feel like an extra task to make an phone call regarding a positive CSP outcome. Patients really appreciate this too. It makes the work fun. So it is positive from two sides. Q8 III I try to motivate patients, and if the screening outcomes return positive, then that they also participate in the follow-up tests. Most people are scared after getting a positive test-outcome. Q9 III In my opinion, the CSPs are in essence not part of a GP’s job. It is fine to be indirectly involved, but this is also enough. We already have so much other things to do. I would much rather leave this to others. Q10 III Regarding the guidance of patients after an oncological diagnosis it very much depends on the patient to what extent I am involved. That is really tailor-made. But very often I am involved. I also really consider that as a task for myself, and for GPs in general.
