Background. The management of obesity with its associated morbidity and mortality is a growing problem in primary care practices. Despite numerous recommendations in response to this challenge, weight management interventions still yield poor results. This is partly due to a discrepancy between physicians' and patients' understanding of the problem and possible solutions. Objective. This study analyses patients' and physicians' visions for the future management of obesity. Methods. Qualitative in-depth semi-structured interviews were performed. Physicians and patients were asked about their individual needs, experience and views regarding the management of obesity. Fifteen GPs and 15 overweight patients participated in this study. Interviews were transcribed and submitted to qualitative content analysis. Results. The investigation reveals a high level of agreement between the two groups with regard to communication requirements for successful care. Both groups stressed the need for multimodal care concepts inside and outside of GP practices. Both also addressed the current overburdening of outpatient care structures in dealing with the management of obesity. Conclusion. Options should be developed for closer cooperation between GPs and support facilities inside and outside practices.
