Purpose: the aim of this research was to study the level of theoretical and practical skills of general practitioners, family doctors, as specialists of primary medical care for providing complex rehabilitation for target groups of the attached population.
Materials and methods. The survey was participated by 50 primary healthcare doctors. All respondents are practitioners. For this study was developed a special questionnaire, which includes 4 blocks of questions. The questions concerned the readiness of participants to provide medical rehabilitation services, the level of their theoretical and practical skills for the provision of rehabilitation assistance for patients with various diseases, proposals for encouraging physicians to provide rehabilitation assistance to target populations and the opportunity to upgrade their skills.
Conclusions. The highest level of theoretical and practical skills of primary care doctors in providing rehabilitation care to patients with diseases of the respiratory system, digestive and cardiovascular systems.
The lowest level of skills in such disciplines as rehabilitation of patients after surgeries and injuries of the musculoskeletal system (the respondents gave the largest number of negative assessments for both theoretical and practical skills).
Therefore, at the present time, the level of practical and theoretical skills of primary care doctors is not enough for full-fledged high-quality rendering of rehabilitation services in PHC facilities.
