摘要

初级保健医生是听力损失患者必不可少的第一接触点。因此,了解听力损失及其相关方面对于确保对疑似听力损失患者进行最佳管理至关重要。目的本研究旨在确定毛里求斯公共卫生部门初级保健医生对听力损失的知识和态度。方法在这项横断面描述性队列研究中,320名初级保健医生完成了一份在线问卷,该问卷改编自以前的听力损失知识和态度问卷。采用描述性统计和横断面分析对反应进行分析。结果初级保健医生在听力损失的早期识别和干预方面的知识有限,专业人员负责听力评估,用于评估听力敏感性的听力测试。然而,受访者对听力损失也表现出积极的态度。对听力损失的认识和态度与医生类型、执业时间长短和科室有关。耳鼻喉科专家以及儿科医生在对听力损失的认识和积极态度方面得分明显更高。结论:研究结果强调,毛里求斯公共卫生部门的初级保健医生迫切需要进行持续的医学教育,以传播有关听力损失的意识。

Knowledge of and Attitudes Toward Hearing Loss Among Primary Care Physicians in the Public Health Sector of Mauritius
Abstract Introduction Primary care physicians are essential first points of contact for patients with hearing loss. Thus, knowledge of hearing loss and related aspects is essential to ensure the optimal management of individuals with suspected hearing loss. Objective This study aimed to determine the knowledge of and attitudes toward hearing loss among primary care physicians in the public health sector in Mauritius. Methods In this cross-sectional descriptive cohort study, 320 primary care physicians completed an online questionnaire adapted from previous questionnaires on knowledge of and attitudes toward hearing loss. Responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics and cross-sectional analyses. Results Primary care physicians showed limited knowledge of hearing loss in areas such as early identification and intervention, professionals responsible for hearing assessments, and hearing tests used for assessing hearing sensitivity. However, the responses also showed positive attitudes toward hearing loss. Significant associations between knowledge of and attitudes toward hearing loss were obtained regarding the type of physician, length of practice, and department posted in. Ear, nose, and throat specialists, as well as pediatricians, demonstrated significantly higher scores for both knowledge of and positive attitudes toward hearing loss. Conclusions The findings highlight a strong need for ongoing medical education to spread awareness about hearing loss among primary care physicians in the public health sector of Mauritius.
