• W583777504 abstract "Background: Inequity in general practice workforce distribution remains a significant issue despite the increasing numbers of general practitioners (GPs) in the UK. Problems with recruitment and retention in England are particularly evident in urban deprived areas. The aim of the current study was to explore affinity for working in urban deprived areas, focusing on practitioners? background, values and care orientation. Methods: There were two stages to the research: 1) semi-structured qualitative interviews with 25 GPs and practice nurses to explore their background, values and care orientation in relation to location; 2) questionnaire survey with approximately 1200 GPs and practice nurses to determine the association between affinity factors and current location. The sample of practitioners was drawn from general practices located in the most and least deprived areas in the northwest region of England. Results: 25 qualitative interviews were conducted and the data analysed using a framework analysis approach. The analysis indicated that location preferences were formed early in practitioners? careers. While an overt affinity for deprived areas was more likely among GPs, pragmatism could dominate location decisions for all. The narrative of practitioners in deprived areas suggested benevolent, universalistic and stimulation personal values, and a patient-centred care orientation. Satisfaction derived from making a difference, having a challenge, addressing social injustice, and having a sense of belonging. Coping strategies included: structure and organisation, support from colleagues, emotional detachment, reassessment of expectations, and distraction. The response rate to the postal questionnaire survey was 30.9% for GPs and 41.2% (practice level) for nurses. Although there were few differences in the personal values of practitioners working in deprived and affluent areas, there were more differences in specific work values. Stepwise logistic regression showed that for GPs, determinants of working in a deprived area included: having trained in a deprived area; not being influenced by the convenience of the location in choosing their current practice; and valuing control in decision-making. For nurses, determinants included: having worked in a deprived area before; not being influenced by quality of care in the practice when choosing their current practice; and not valuing being respected by practice colleagues. Subgroup analyses suggested different predictors for practitioners with different role status: GP principals were more likely to work in a deprived area if they valued providing care to those in greatest need of help, in addition to having trained in a deprived area. Discussion: The training location of GPs was a consistent factor in determining current location. This differs from the literature on location choice in rural and remote areas, for which childhood exposure is considered to be the dominant factor. Differences in personal values were reflected more clearly in specific work values. Future research should look at how GPs choose their training practice and how such experiences could be exploited to enhance recruitment to underserved urban areas. Strategies to aid retention could look to the coping strategies employed by practitioners to deal with the demands of working in a deprived area." @default.
