摘要

背景:在南亚的医疗机构中,用当地语言描述的某些症状给医疗实践带来了独特的挑战。“Ghabrahat”是一个常用的术语,在医学术语中缺乏标准化,在翻译和口译方面存在困难。本研究旨在全面评估医疗保健专业人员关于“ghabrahat”的知识、态度和实践(KAP)。材料和方法:在多个三级医疗中心的107名医疗保健专业人员中进行了一项横断面研究,其中包括教员和研究生学员。使用结构化问卷来评估他们对“ghabrahat”作为医学术语的理解、感知和临床方法。结果:107名参与者中,105名(98.1%)在其医疗实践中遇到过该术语。大多数人(77.6%)认为“ghabrahat”需要进一步的医学调查,94.4%的人认为这是可以治疗/控制的。与心血管系统(86%)和心理系统(73.8%)存在显著关联。67.2%的参与者注意到感知的性别差异,而88.8%的参与者认为合并症影响其表现。值得注意的是,54.2%的参与者报告了直接归因于“ghabrahat”的死亡。结论:虽然“ghabrahat”在医疗保健专业人员中被广泛认可,但在其解释、感知的严重程度和管理方法上存在很大差异。这项研究强调了在理解和接近南亚医疗实践中这种常见症状的标准化的迫切需要。

Decoding "Ghabrahat": A Cross-sectional KAP Study of Healthcare Professionals' Understanding and Management of a Complex South Asian Medical Term.

Background: In South Asian healthcare settings, certain symptoms described in local languages create unique challenges in medical practice. "Ghabrahat" is a commonly used term that lacks standardization in medical terminology and presents difficulties in translation and interpretation. This study aimed to comprehensively assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding "ghabrahat" among healthcare professionals.

Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 107 healthcare professionals, including faculty members and postgraduate trainees, across multiple tertiary care centers. A structured questionnaire was used to evaluate their understanding, perceptions, and clinical approaches regarding "ghabrahat" as a medical term.

Results: Of the 107 participants, 105 (98.1%) had encountered the term during their medical practice. The majority (77.6%) believed that "ghabrahat" requires further medical investigation, and 94.4% considered it treatable/manageable. Significant associations were found with cardiovascular (86%) and psychological (73.8%) systems. Gender differences in perception were noted by 67.2% of participants, while 88.8% believed that comorbidities influence its presentation. Notably, 54.2% of participants reported encountering mortalities directly attributed to "ghabrahat."

Conclusion: While "ghabrahat" is widely recognized among healthcare professionals, there exists substantial variation in its interpretation, perceived severity, and management approaches. This study highlights the urgent need for standardization in understanding and approaching this commonly reported symptom in South Asian medical practice.
