description BACKGROUND: To be recognized as a primary care physician (PCP), an Indonesian general practitioner (GP) has to follow a formal postgraduate training in primary care. However, 4 years since the regulation was published, the progress of the training is slow. There is a need to deeply investigate the doctors’ perspectives, particularly to explore factors associated with their willingness to follow this training. AIM: This study aims to explore the GPs’ views and perspectives related to the formal postgraduate training in primary care that may influence their enrolment in PCP program. METHODS: We conducted semi-structured interviews with a topic guide. The study took place in Yogyakarta from January to December 2016. The participants were GPs practicing in Yogyakarta primary care clinics who were recruited using purposive-maximum variation sample design. The interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed. The data were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis approach. RESULTS: Nineteen GPs participants were involved in this study. Three major themes were identified, namely unfamiliarity, resistance, and positivism. Almost all the GP participants were unfamiliar with the primary care training program. They were also pessimistic if the training could change the health service in the country while it lacked resources and infrastructures. However, exposure to the training brought positive insights that it could improve the doctors’ knowledge and skills in primary care practice. DISCUSSION: The government intention to establish PCP training is currently on the right tract. However, information dissemination and more supports in primary care are also essential.
