A qualitative study in which five focus groups (three for GPs, and two for patients with OA) were conducted between 15 May and 4 August 2006 in south-western Sydney. Five advanced general practice registrars, six experienced GPs, and 20 patients with OA aged 54-85 years. Key themes and issues identified by content analysis of focus group transcripts. GPs reported adopting a cautious approach to prescribing NSAIDs because of uncertainty about safety and medicolegal concerns. They were sceptical about information provided by the pharmaceutical industry and found the literature about the safety of NSAIDs confusing. Time was identified as a major barrier to adequate discussion with patients, and exp...
