摘要

Background

In recent years, right-wing populist and antipluralistic movements have strengthened and become more visible in Germany. Discrimination and racism are eligible structural determinants in health care and affect the work of general practitioners (GPs). In times of physician shortage, politics can notably influence crucial decisions like continuing practicing in Germany or working in undersupplied regions.

Materials and methods

As part of an exploratory cross-sectional survey, GPs’ attitudes and needs regarding right-wing populist attitudes were assessed using a digital questionnaire at the 2025 Federal Conference of Family Doctors (BAM). Descriptive analyses and group comparisons were conducted. A cluster analysis using K‑means (k = 3) was calculated to identify different response patterns.

Results

Of 127 participants (mean age: 39.9 years), 71% stated that the regional election results influenced their decision to settle in Germany. Two-thirds had at least occasional thoughts of emigrating, and around 80% desired support material for dealing with right-wing populism. Cluster analysis identified three groups: “committed” (41%), “reserved” (33%), and “carefree” (26%).

Conclusion

The results of this pilot study indicate the high relevance of political developments for many GPs. Particularly in the context of the shortage of young GPs, political factors have the potential to influence career choices. The heterogeneous attitude profiles emphasize the need for targeted, needs-based support materials for GPs.
