Samenvatting
De kern
-
Huisartsen vinden de behandeling en begeleiding van patiënten met somatisch onvoldoende verklaarde lichamelijke klachten (SOLK) vaak ingewikkeld doordat ze problemen ervaren op het vlak van de communicatie en de arts-patiëntrelatie.
-
Veel huisartsen hebben een verkeerd beeld van patiënten met SOLK. Ze gaan er ten onrechte van uit dat deze patiënten op zoek zijn naar somatische interventies en niet willen praten over psychosociale problemen.
-
Een positieve communicatie met patiënten met SOLK is essentieel. Dit kan bereikt worden door de ideeën, angsten en verwachtingen van patiënten goed te exploreren, door psychoso-ciale hints tijdens het consult op te pikken en door concreet en duidelijk uitleg te geven.
-
De arts-patiëntrelatie is zeker in de eerste lijn een krachtig therapeutisch instrument. Gezien het geringe arsenaal aan specifieke, in de huisartsenpraktijk toepasbare interventies voor patiënten met chronische SOLK zou de huisarts die relatie zo veel mogelijk moeten benutten.
