Subjects Perceived as Embarrassing During a Consultation in General Medical Practice

Overview

Optimal medical care requires transparency and honesty. However, it is not always easy to address some issues that may be considered too personal, intimate or taboo, such as mental health, sexuality, addiction and death. Patients' approach to these issues may be influenced by the profile of their general practitioner, or by the atmosphere of the consultation. This retention of information by the patient, whether voluntary or not, can lead to adverse events related to care due to a misunderstanding between doctor and patient.

The main objective is to describe the proportion of patients limiting the subjects addressed during a general medicine consultation by gene, modesty and/or fear of judgment The secondary objective is to study the factors associated with limitation of subjects addressed by patient by gene, modesty and/or fear of judgment during a general medicine consultation.
