Methods : In this retrospective study, 100 female patients aged 5 years or less, diagnosed with recurrent UTI, were recruited at Prince Rashed Military Hospital (PRH). The inclusion criteria are female patients who suffered from recurrent UTI ≥ 2 times and had visited a paediatrics specialist outpatient clinic in Prince Rashid Hospital from 1 st March 2021 to 1 st June 2022. The researchers received parents’ consent to follow the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act guidelines. Results : The peak age of children with recurrent UTI was 2-3 years, accounted 35% of the total cases. However, the peak age of children who had abnormal DMSA scans was 4-5years. The results of normal ultrasound (US) diagnosis revealed renal scars in 4% of cases. In addition, 60% of patients with 5 times recurrent UTI had a renal scar, compared to 30% with 4 times of recurrent UTI. Conclusion : Renal ultrasound is not sensitive enough to detect renal scars. DMSA scintigraphy is complementary to investigate renal scars found in pediatrics patients.","PeriodicalId":93553,"journal":{"name":"Family medicine and primary care -- open access","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44712703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: It is a semi-structured phone interview of 36 participants who attended the virtual clinic in Prince Sultan Military Hospital in 2020, selected purposefully, then the interviews were transcribed then analyzed by thematic analysis. Results: 20 of the participants were males (55.5%) and 16 of them were females (44.4%), 6 were above or equal to 60 years of age (16.6%) and 30 participants were below 60 years of age (83.3%). In Theme 1: (Were the steps taken in the referral process to this service clear?) 75% (n=27) of them answered positively, 22.2% (n=8) answered negatively and one participant was neutral. In Theme 2: (Comparing to previous regular clinic visits, how did you find receiving information about your health in this clinic?) 27.7% (n=10) think it is better than regular clinic, However, 19.4% (n=6) think it is worse than the regular clinic, and the majority 55.5% (n=20) think they are the same. In Theme 3: was (Describe for us your experience in getting the medications form the pharmacy after the clinic) 77.7% (n=28) of participants were satisfied and 2 patients were not satisfied, remaining 6 did not take medicines. Conclusions: Virtual clinic is a good method in reducing costs and time in delivering health care, in patients’ opinions. In general, virtual clinic had high satisfaction rate among who benefit from the service. However, there are some concerns need to be addressed like referral or booking process for virtual clinic services.","PeriodicalId":93553,"journal":{"name":"Family medicine and primary care -- open access","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49389128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Good communication skills can improve patient compliance and overall satisfaction and a lack of these skills can increase medical error. Physical knowledge is growing and driving the perception that communication is peripheral, especially among medical trainees and junior physicians. This skill is often overlooked as easy or self-explanatory. However, the application of communication skills are very important while the development of these skills require a process. Furthermore, practicing communication skills alone cannot reduce medical error. A better understanding of the developmental process and concepts will result in more flexibility and better application. This article reviews five steps to understand the different level of communication skills logically (i.e., medical humanities, principles of family medicine/general practice, clinical methods, and counseling micro skills to clinical applications). The aim is to find a style in clinical consultation that comfortable and right for each physician.","PeriodicalId":93553,"journal":{"name":"Family medicine and primary care -- open access","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41991180","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Influenza vaccination uptake among Healthcare Workers (HCWs) is suboptimal all over the globe. This study aimed to study the influenza vaccination acceptance and uptake among HCWs in Wazarat Health Care Center (WHC) at Prince Sultan Military Medical City (PSMMC), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Method: Two hundred out of randomly selected 240 HCWs working at WHC-PSMMC, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia were surveyed between May and June 2017. A validated 25-items self-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data. The collected data included sociodemographic, work and health related data, and beliefs towards influenza and its vaccine. Scoring system was used for transformed categorical data. The mean scores, median and Interquartile (IQR) were estimated and compared. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to study the associations of the influenza vaccine uptake with those covariates. IBM® SPSS®16 Statistics software was used for data analysis. Ethical aspects including confidentiality, informed consent, and approval were carefully considered. Results: With a response rate of 83% to the survey, only 41% of the participants found have received the 2016 influenza vaccine. On univariate analysis gender, nationality, occupation, level of education, work nature, work experience, past infection, and previous vaccination were associated with vaccination uptake. The vaccinated HCWs were more likely to perceive themself susceptible to influenza and its complications and to perceive the influenza vaccine as safe and effective compared to unvaccinated HCWs. On Multivariate analysis, HCWs perceived influenza vaccine as beneficial, HCWs doing clinical works and non-Saudi HCWs were (Odd Ratio (OR):1.25 (95% Confidence Interval (CI); 1.10, 1.42) P=0.001), (OR: 2.83 (95% CI; 1.10, 7.28) P=0.03), and (OR: 3.81(95% CI; 1.24, 11.67) P=0.03) times more likely to vaccinate against influenza, respectively. Conclusion: Despite rigorous recommendation influenza vaccination uptake was suboptimal. Mandatory influenza vaccination policy may need to be adopted to achieve a vaccination coverage above 80% as recommended by the world health organization (WHO). This could be combined with interventions that address the associated factors to guarantee the maintenance of the desirable acceptance level and minimize the declination rate.

Blindness causes mental and emotional problems in a person and is one of the most complex health problems in the world. Rehabilitation of blind clients focuses on independent performance of daily activities. The Kawa model in occupational therapy is a model that promotes better interaction between the client and the therapist and makes it possible to guide the client taking into account cultural factors. The model is used in different areas of occupational therapy and brings positive results. The purpose of this research is to learn about the Kawa model and apply it to blind clients. Methods: a qualitative research, a singular diachronic single case study was conducted. One case, which lasted 4 months, included a client who has been blind since birth. The occupational therapy process was conducted using Kawa’s step-by-step models. A tactile picture and a tactile magnetic board were made to represent the models, which are an innovative occupational therapy medium. Results: The Kawa model is interesting due to a different way of handling and at the same time very easy for the client to understand. The tactile aids made also contributed to this. The use of the Kawa model is also interesting from the point of view of how the client applies the theoretical knowledge in practice. The client expressed satisfaction with the ease of use of the model itself. Conclusion: The used modified media magnetic board and tactile picture represent an important contribution to the treatment. The occupational therapist in the rehabilitation of blind clients contributes with her knowledge to the independence and quality of life of these clients. It would be useful to conduct further studies on a larger sample and to include more other occupational therapy assessments in the occupational therapy process.","PeriodicalId":93553,"journal":{"name":"Family medicine and primary care -- open access","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41679945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
