摘要

背景:吞咽障碍是一个重要的临床问题,需要有效的管理和早期发现。全科医生(GPs)在识别和转诊吞咽障碍患者方面发挥着关键作用,因此评估他们在这一领域的知识、态度和实践(KAP)就显得尤为重要:方法:2023 年 7 月至 10 月期间进行了一项横断面研究,全科医生参与了这项研究,并填写了一份自填式问卷,其中包含人口统计学信息和 KAP 评估:最终分析包括 365 名参与者,其中 242 人(66.3%)为女性,106 人(29.04%)具有 5-10 年的专业工作经验。知识、态度和实践的平均得分分别为 12.41 ± 4.202(可能范围:0-18)、22.25 ± 2.06(可能范围:6-30)和 32.81 ± 9.48(可能范围:10-50)。知识与态度(r = 0.329,P < 0.001)和实践(r = 0.375,P < 0.001)呈正相关,而态度与实践(r = 0.309,P < 0.001)也呈正相关。根据多变量分析,知识(OR = 1.13,95% CI:[1.07-1.20],P <0.001)和态度(OR = 1.19,95% CI:[1.05-1.36],P = 0.005)与积极主动的实践有独立关联:结论:全科医生在吞咽障碍方面的知识、态度和实践均处于中等水平。结论:全科医生对吞咽障碍的认识、态度和实践均处于中等水平,有针对性的教育干预对提高全科医生对吞咽障碍的认识至关重要。

Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Regarding Swallowing Disorders Among General Practitioners.

Background: Swallowing disorders constitute a significant clinical concern, necessitating effective management and early detection. General practitioners (GPs) play a pivotal role in identifying and referring patients with swallowing disorders, emphasizing the importance of assessing their Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) in this domain.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between July and October 2023, involving general practitioners who completed a self-administered questionnaire containing demographic information and KAP assessment.

Results: The final analysis included 365 participates, with 242 (66.3%) completed by female participants and 106 (29.04%) by individuals with 5-10 years of professional working experience. The mean scores for knowledge, attitude, and practice were 12.41 ± 4.202 (possible range: 0-18), 22.25 ± 2.06 (possible range: 6-30), and 32.81 ± 9.48 (possible range: 10-50), respectively. Knowledge was demonstrated a positive correlation with attitude (r = 0.329, P < 0.001) and practice (r = 0.375, P < 0.001), while attitude also showed a positive correlation with practice (r = 0.309, P < 0.001). According to multivariate analysis, knowledge (OR = 1.13, 95% CI: [1.07-1.20], P < 0.001) and attitude (OR = 1.19, 95% CI: [1.05-1.36], P = 0.005) were independently associated with proactive practice.

Conclusion: General practitioners demonstrated moderate knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding swallowing disorders. Targeted educational interventions are essential to enhance general practitioners' knowledge regarding swallowing disorders.

The journal is characterized by the rapid reporting of reviews, original research and clinical studies across all disease areas. A key focus of the journal is the elucidation of disease processes and management protocols resulting in improved outcomes for the patient. Patient perspectives such as satisfaction, quality of life, health literacy and communication and their role in developing new healthcare programs and optimizing clinical outcomes are major areas of interest for the journal.
