Abstract

This thesis will guide health communities to better understand the clinical decision-making process that physicians from rural Ontario undergo when considering whether to prescribe medical cannabis to patients for their medical condition. Very few studies have been conducted which examine the perspectives of physicians on medical cannabis, especially in rural areas, and these studies have found that most physicians are skeptical towards medical cannabis. This skeptical perspective of physicians has complicated the clinical decision-making process as “recent changes in media reports and changing trends in social media propose a change in the attitudes towards cannabis (Zolotov et al., 2018, p.5).” Physicians practicing in rural Ontario are currently being recruited to participate in semi-structured interviews to explore the issues which they prioritize the most. Once completed, the findings from this study will identify common themes and trends that could help influence change in physician practice and healthcare policy.

本论文将指导卫生社区,以更好地了解临床决策过程,从农村安大略省的医生经历,当考虑是否开医用大麻给病人的医疗条件。很少进行研究,审查医生对医用大麻的看法,特别是在农村地区,这些研究发现,大多数医生对医用大麻持怀疑态度。医生的这种怀疑态度使临床决策过程变得复杂,因为“最近媒体报道的变化和社交媒体的变化趋势表明,人们对大麻的态度发生了变化(Zolotov等人,2018年,第5页)。”在安大略省农村执业的医生目前正在被招募参加半结构化访谈,以探索他们最优先考虑的问题。一旦完成,这项研究的结果将确定共同的主题和趋势,可能有助于影响医生实践和医疗保健政策的变化。
