However, YOD diagnosis is often late. We aimed to explore the perspectives of referring general practitioners and occupational physicians, to better understand their barriers to YOD diagnosis and reveal potential solutions to facilitate timely diagnosis.Methods: We conducted 16 semi-structured qualitative interviews with general practitioners and occupational physicians in the Netherlands. Inductive thematic analysis was applied to the transcripts with a team including researchers from various (clinical) backgrounds.Results: Thematic analysis revealed three themes related to: (1) disease characteristics that hinder YOD recognition, being the low incidence and the fact that they mimic other prevalent conditions like burn-out and depression; (2) physicians' attitudes that delay YOD diagnosis, as fear of mis-diagnosis and therapeutic nihilism; and (3) proposed solutions to navigate the challenging YOD diagnostic trajectory including monitoring people with depression and burn-out to consider YOD when recovery stagnates, and more effective interprofessional collaboration.Conclusion: In this study, referring physicians confirmed barriers known to YOD diagnosis and suggested potential solutions to improve YOD diagnosis. Future prospective studies in people with a primary diagnosis of depression or burn-out may show whether these interventions are potentially effective. |
