Does participation in a clinical trial influence the future management of patients with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease in general practice?
Participation in a clinical trial influenced both doctors and patients. Treatment modalities introduced by the trial were used in daily practice by the General Practitioners. Patients who had participated in the trial consulted for less symptoms and used more medication, compared with patients who did not participate.
The results partially support the notion of the Job Demands-Resources model and provide further insight into processes leading to the low well-being of teachers in the workplace.
