Samenvatting

Olde Hartman TC, Van Ravesteijn H, Lucassen P. Onverklaarde lichamelijke klachten. Huisarts Wet 2012;55(7):301-5.
De huisarts wordt vaak geconfronteerd met patiënten met somatisch onvoldoende verklaarde lichamelijke klachten (SOLK). Slechts een minderheid (2,5%) van deze patiënten houdt chronisch last van deze klachten, maar die minderheid doet wel een groot beroep op de gezondheidszorg. Veel huisartsen vinden de behandeling en begeleiding van patiënten met chronische SOLK moeilijk, met name het geven van goede en concrete uitleg. Om de arts-patiëntrelatie in stand te houden vallen huisartsen terug op zorgrituelen, zoals het inplannen van regelmatige contacten. Veel huisartsen hebben een contraproductief beeld van patiënten met SOLK. Het idee dat patiënten druk uitoefenen op de huisarts voor het krijgen van somatische interventies klopt niet, evenals het idee dat patiënten met SOLK niet willen praten over psychosociale problemen. De communicatie in de consulten met patiënten met chronische SOLK is vaak weinig gericht op het structureel uitdiepen van hun ideeën, angsten en verwachtingen. Hierdoor sluit de uitleg die de huisarts geeft vaak niet aan bij de patiënt. Dit is jammer, want goede communicatie over de aard van de klacht is essentieel voor de effectiviteit van de behandeling en begeleiding. Patiënten met chronische SOLK willen, net als andere patiënten, patiëntgerichte communicatie. Ze geven bovendien aan dat ze een langdurige en persoonlijke relatie met hun huisarts erg belangrijk vinden. Een dergelijke arts-patiëntrelatie is een krachtig therapeutisch instrument in de eerste lijn. Het belang dat zowel huisartsen als patiënten toekennen aan de communicatie en de arts-patiëntrelatie past naadloos in de filosofie van de huisartsgeneeskunde. Hoewel er ruimte is voor verbetering, is de behandeling en begeleiding van patiënten met chronische SOLK daarom een aangewezen taak voor de huisarts..
