[Case-oriented work in the quality circle].

Considering the discrepancy between scientific knowledge and definite behaviour during consultation ("performance gap"), acceptance, proceedings and case oriented work in quality circles/peer review groups are described. 79% of 138 general practitioners declared that working in quality circles should base on cases from daily practice. Exchange of experiences and the expectation to get help for solving specific problems in the daily practice are the most important motives for participating in quality circles. For one circle as an example, the process of topic and case oriented work on the basis of objective documents from the practices of the participants and the following case oriented development of guidelines are described. Finally, the implicit chances of case oriented work in quality circles are shown with respect to existing experiences.

[Evaluation of a training program for moderators of panel doctor quality circles: a progress assessment].

We report about the first 7 seminars of a training programme for presenters of quality circles for panel doctors. The seminars aim to train techniques of moderating a group and to give a methodological background for the work with quality circles. 65 (44.2%) of the 147 participants were general practitioners, 34 (23.1%) were internists and 32 (21.8%) were specialists of other disciplines. 16 (10.9%) were not physicians or not working as a physician. An evaluation of the seminars by a structured questionnaire showed mean ratings of 2.1 for lectures [in terms of school-marks from 1 (very good) to 6 (very poor)] and 1.8 for the work in small groups. Working atmosphere and opportunities for active participation were rated most positively. 6 months after the course, 64.9% of the participants already had arranged dates for meetings or had started with own quality circles.

[Epilepsy and working world--summary presentation of empirical research with special reference to reality and potential for vocational rehabilitation].

Using a variety of methods (standardized and open interviewing, medical talks, ongoing counselling, expert interviews), data had been raised from almost 400 persons with epilepsy (Grand mal) of working age (16-65 yrs.), permitting their life and working situation to be characterized participant observation. The project inter alia was aimed at describing the relationship of "epilepsy and working world", to determine the extent of participation in vocational rehabilitation measures as well as their course, in order to elicit criteria pertinent for introduction of goal-directed supportive action. The study findings are outlined; a model for estimating rehabilitative need is presented; needs-based groupings are characterized, and conceptual considerations concerning vocational rehabilitation of persons with epilepsy discussed.
