Since then, various clinical guidelines have been issued in the past 5 years to standardise the management of AF, including the American College of Cardiology, European Society of Cardiology, National Institute for Health and Care Excellence and Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society guidelines.

Culturally, family members are expected to provide physical care and psychosocial support to their sick members, but the challenges they face have adversely impacted their employment, financial, physical and emotional wellbeing. This study aimed to explore the lived experiences of family caregivers of patients with chronic illnesses.Methods: This qualitative research was based on the interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) approach. Purposive sampling was used to recruit five family caregivers of patients with chronic illnesses. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured individual interviews and document analysis and later analysed systematically according to the six-step IPA process.Results: The data revealed the informants' meaning of experience in four themes: 1) adversities, 2) adjustment challenges, 3) adaptation and acceptance and 4) identity.Conclusion: The findings suggest that constructive lived experiences may be cultivated by increasing knowledge in caregiving, receiving greater appreciation and support from family members and learning to embrace the new identity. Caregiver support programmes or workshops focusing on emotional resilience or communication strategies can help to boost the positive life experiences of caregivers. The findings can be useful for healthcare professionals in understanding and addressing the needs of caregivers and improving the support and services provided to them.","PeriodicalId":40017,"journal":{"name":"Malaysian Family Physician","volume":"20 ","pages":"31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12160095/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144286738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article presents the characteristics of postgraduate family medicine training in eight Southeast Asian countries: Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. The duration of training varies across countries and programmes within each country, ranging from 1 to 5 years. Completion of training leads to qualifications such as master's degree, diploma or certificate. Some countries also offer further training following postgraduate family medicine training, classified into two types: capacity-based training (e.g. family medicine fellowship) and discipline-based training (e.g. palliative care fellowship). The increasing burden of non-communicable diseases and the ageing population as well as the shortage of family physicians are significant concerns and challenges that influence postgraduate family medicine training in Southeast Asia.","PeriodicalId":40017,"journal":{"name":"Malaysian Family Physician","volume":"20 ","pages":"29"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12160097/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144286739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Doctors play a key role in IUCD usage. This study aimed to assess knowledge, views, practice and self-efficacy regarding copper IUCD usage among public primary care doctors in Sarawak.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in all public primary care clinics in Sarawak. A selfadministered online survey form was distributed to doctors in the eligible clinics.Results: A total of 312 doctors participated in the survey. Most of them (81.4%) worked in a clinic where IUCDs were available. The median knowledge score among the medical officers was 15 (maximum score: 20). The knowledge score was correlated with the length of primary care experience and was higher among the doctors who had prior IUCD training and ever had inserted IUCDs. The doctors were concerned about the side effects of IUCDs, especially perforation and pelvic inflammatory diseases, and were negatively influenced by the additional counselling time required when recommending IUCDs. They recognised IUCD usage as a long-term and reversible contraception method. Most (69.2%) doctors had inserted IUCDs before, but only 45.9% had inserted five or more IUCDs. The self-efficacy of the doctors regarding IUCD insertion was moderate (63% of the total score).Conclusion: The knowledge and self-efficacy of the public primary care doctors in Sarawak were moderate. Although IUCDs were widely available, the number of IUCD insertions was relatively small. Further research is warranted to quantify IUCD usage and identify its barriers among nurses and patients.","PeriodicalId":40017,"journal":{"name":"Malaysian Family Physician","volume":"20 ","pages":"24"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12051973/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144005070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
