The Family Physicians in the Film Discourse
Abstract Objective: To study the figure of the family physicians in the cinematographic medium. Design: Qualitative study through analysis of documentary content. Location: Primary Care Participants and/or contexts: Selection from cinematographic databases of films in which doctors intervened excluding those in which they performed their functions in the hospital or in areas other than Primary Care or in which their role in the story plot was little relevant Method: Sample selection by purpose by the research team. Individual screening of the selected films and weekly group discussion was done. Each session was recorded in audio extracting sequences and paragraphs of interest that were later codified and classified to obtain relevant categories of meaning. Following the "constant comparative method" each category was evaluated at each step, emerging new hypotheses and topics of research and debate. Results: We selected 21 of the 162 medical films analyzed. We coded the documentary material and obtained 13 categories of meaning, among them: Physician's cinematic image. The family physicians vs other specialists. Professional qualification. Personal versus professional life. Doctor's position before death. Doctor?pacient relationship. Degree of commitment. Professional's position in the health system and its assessment by the community. Conclusions: The family physicians is represented as a polyvalent part of the community, committed to patients, with an unequal level of education and a very personal view of illness and death.
