Family Medicine is a novel discipline in many countries, where the motivation for training and value added to communities is not well-described. Our purpose was to understand the reason behind the choice of Family Medicine as a profession, the impact of Family Medicine on communities, and Family Medicine’s characterizing qualities, as perceived by family doctors around the world. One-question video interviews were conducted using an appreciative inquiry approach, with volunteer participants at the 2016 World Organization of Family Doctors conference in Rio de Janeiro. Qualitative data analysis applied the thematic, framework method. 135 family doctors from 55 countries participated in this study. Three overarching themes emerged: 1) key attributes of Family Medicine, 2) core Family Medicine values and 3) shared traits of family doctors. Family Medicine attributes and values were the key expressed motivators to join Family Medicine as a profession and were also among expressed factors that contributed to the impact of Family Medicine globally. Major sub-themes included the principles of comprehensive care, holistic care, continuity of care, patient centeredness, and the patient-provider relationship. Participants emphasized the importance of universal care, human rights, social justice and health equity. Family doctors around the world shared stories about their profession, presenting a heterogeneous picture of global Family Medicine unified by its attributes and values. These stories may inspire and serve as positive examples for Family Medicine programs, prospective students, advocates and other stakeholders.

家庭医学的全球图景：WONCA Storybooth的观点

在许多国家，家庭医学是一门新颖的学科，那里对培训动机和社区增值的动机没有得到很好的描述。我们的目的是了解选择家庭医学作为专业的背后原因，家庭医学对社区的影响以及世界各地家庭医生所认为的家庭医学的特质。使用欣赏式调查方法进行了一个问题的视频采访，志愿者们参加了在里约热内卢举行的2016年世界家庭医生组织会议。定性数据分析应用了主题框架方法。来自55个国家/地区的135位家庭医生参加了这项研究。出现了三个总体主题：1）家庭医学的关键属性； 2）家庭医学的核心价值观； 3）家庭医生的共同特征。家庭医学的属性和价值观是表达加入家庭医学这一专业的主要动机，也是促使家庭医学在全球产生影响的表达因素之一。主要的子主题包括全面护理，整体护理，护理的连续性，以患者为中心以及患者与提供者之间的关系。与会者强调了全民保健，人权，社会正义和健康公平的重要性。世界各地的家庭医生分享了他们的专业故事，通过其属性和价值观呈现了全球家庭医学的异质图景。这些故事可能会激发家庭医学计划，未来的学生，倡导者和其他利益相关者的积极榜样，并为他们提供积极的榜样。
