Abstract
Russian and foreign studies discuss the problem of accessibility of medical care to the population living in remote areas. The author's guide of the focus group study "Medical and sociological assessment of accessibility of medical care in rural health care" included questions aimed at studying the problems of accessibility of medical care to specialists in rural health care in the region. The study involved 8 heads of departments of district medical organizations in Saratov region.
The doctor as a subject of medicine more often acts as an object of medical and sociological research in the context of his medical (expert) knowledge about the representatives of different social groups of patients. The uniqueness of the conducted research is determined by focusing the research interest on the social group of doctors in the context of their health problems - that is, by studying the personal patient experience of rural health care doctors.
The analysis of the received data was performed in accordance with the standard requirements for the analysis of qualitative data with reliance on the methodology of discourse analysis. The realized research allowed us to highlight several key issues reflecting the problems of accessibility of medical care to rural health professionals. Based on the analysis of the array of respondents' opinions, the conclusions of the focus-group research were formed.
