Survey of dermatologists regarding their perception of the handling of the dermatological procedure, especially the dermatological report and the reporting of suspected cases of the German occupational skin disease no. 5101 (EvaDerm)

Status:

ongoing

Aims:

Survey of dermatologists regarding their perception of the dermatological procedure, in particular the dermatological report and the reporting of suspected cases of occupational skin disease (OSD) 5101.

Central target variables:

1. Practicability of the dermatologist's report (initial report: F6050, follow-up report: F6052) and the medical report of suspected occupational disease (F6000);
2. practicability of the dermatological procedure;
3. cooperation of the doctor with the accident insurance institution(s);
4. communication of the doctor with the accident insurance institution(s);
5. communication of the accident insurance institution(s) with the doctor; vi) perception of the accident insurance institution(s) by the doctor.

Key questions:

1. What are the reasons why dermatologists report fewer or no suspected cases of OSD 5101? Furthermore: What should change so that more reports are made again?
2. How do dermatologists assess the handling of the dermatological procedure, especially the dermatological report? As a result: Which aspects are rated as negative and which hurdles exist? Which aspects are rated as positive?
3. How is the co-operation with the accident insurance institution rated? Furthermore: How satisfied are the dermatologists with the cooperation? What changes would they like to see?

Activities/Methods:

Development of a scientifically justified study concept/protocol including the selection of suitable survey instruments in the sense of a mixed-methods approach in accordance with the input of the DGUV's Skin Working Group.

Development and implementation of a concept for the sequential implementation of a cross-sectional study:

1. Qualitative interviews (guideline-based expert interviews),
2. Digital fully standardised survey (quantitative survey using questionnaires). Publication of the study protocol as a study announcement in a relevant scientific journal (at the same time as recruitment). Survey and evaluation of dermatologists in general (especially recruitment via DDG and BVDD.

Survey and evaluation of sub-cohorts:

1. Dermatologists specialising in professional dermatology or professional dermatologists (mainly recruited via ABD in the DDG);
2. Young dermatologists (mainly recruitment via JuDerm);
3. Employed dermatologists in group structures, e.g. CORIUS Group or MVZ;
4. Comparison: dermatologists in private practice and dermatologists working in hospitals. Publication of the results in a suitable national scientific journal and presentation of the results at relevant scientific conferences and congresses.
