OBJECTIVE: To determine the extent of clinical knowledge of HIV/AIDS that physicians in Barbados have and their attitudes towards persons living with HIV/AIDS. METHODS: In 2000 the Barbados Association of Medical Practitioners conducted a survey in order to assess its members' views on HIV/AIDS issues. Over a two-month period 203 physicians (76% of all those practicing in the country) were interviewed. The survey included physicians working in private practice and the public sector. They were surveyed individually concerning their attitudes towards counseling as well as their clinical knowledge, perception of safe practices, fear of occupational exposure, views on ethical issues, experience treating HIV/AIDS patients, and background with HIV/AIDS continuing education. RESULTS: In comparison to physicians who had graduated in later years, physicians who had graduated in 1984 or earlier had seen fewer HIV/AIDS clients, had lower levels of knowledge about the disease, were more likely to test for HIV/AIDS without informed consent, and were less likely to have ever attended a continuing education training course on HIV/AIDS. Overall, knowledge of the clinical indications of HIV/AIDS was low, and 76% of the physicians did not think they had adequate counseling skills. Over 80% of the physicians were comfortable looking after HIV/AIDS patients. While 95% of the physicians would not release HIV test results without a patient's consent, 33% would test, without consent, a seriously ill patient, and 15% would test without consent a patient upon whom they had to perform an invasive procedure if they perceived the patient to be from a high-risk population such as gay men or commercial sex workers. Only 53% of the physicians had attended an HIV/AIDS in-service training program between 1995 and 1999. CONCLUSIONS: Physician training in Barbados should focus on all aspects of HIV/AIDS care, including clinical and emotional factors. Attendance at such training should be mandatory for public sector physicians, and medical school curricula need to be examined to ensure their HIV/AIDS content is current and comprehensive. 相似文献

目的 了解医疗卫生机构的医务人员主动为HIV/AIDS患者提供转介服务的现状及存在问题,探讨艾滋病转介工作开展的影响因素,为当地合理制定艾滋病防控策略提供依据。 方法 采用问卷调查的方法,2018年7-8月,在广西南宁市15个县(区)的20家医疗卫生机构249名医务人员进行面对面问卷调查,分析艾滋病转介服务的开展情况。 结果 研究对象对其发现或管理的HIV/AIDS患者均全部提供转介服务的比例为56.63%。提供转介服务的比例中,按照机构级别分析,最高是省级机构(67.12%),最低是县(区)级机构(47.46%),但差异无统计学意义(χ2=5.463,P=0.131);按照机构性质分析,最高是疾病预防控制中心(88.23%),最低是综合医院(52.24%),差异有统计学意义(χ2=7.980,P=0.046)。“医生忘记转介”是未提供转介服务的主要原因(占88.89%)。单因素分析显示,从事艾滋病防控工作年数、所在的机构性质、是否接受过艾滋病防治知识与转介工作技能培训等因素,与医务人员是否主动为发现的患者提供转介服务有统计学关联(P<0.05)。多因素分析显示,机构性质是疾病预防控制中心(OR=10.426, 95%CI: 1.745~62.294)、从事防艾工作年数为5年及以上(OR=2.598, 95%CI: 1.447~4.666)、接受过艾滋病防治知识与转介技能培训(OR=12.066, 95%CI: 4.518~32.223)是医务人员主动提供转介服务的积极因素。 结论 医务人员主动为患者提供转介服务的比例仍较低。“医生忘记转介”是未提供转介服务的主要原因。为保证艾滋病转介工作的有效开展,需建立首诊医生负责制和转介工作考核、奖励机制;同时进一步加强医务人员尤其是综合医院和从事艾滋病防控工作年数低的医务人员培训, 激励其主动为患者提供转介服务,确保HIV/AIDS患者有效管理和治疗。 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to explore Kuwaiti family physicians' attitudes and knowledge about HIV/AIDS. METHODS: One hundred and sixty-two Kuwaiti family physicians (95 females and 67 males) from all four health catchment areas have completed a 30-item self-administered questionnaire to measure HIV/AIDS-related attitudes and knowledge. RESULTS: Knowledge was lacking in areas dealing with HIV-related neuropsychiatric complications and other issues concerning HIV/AIDS, special populations and range of normal sexuality. The majority of physicians expressed negative attitudes toward homosexuality and about AIDS patients in general. Eighty-three per cent of Kuwaiti family physicians would opt out of treating AIDS patients. More than half of the physicians would avoid coming into social contact with HIV-seropositive persons. No significant difference was found for the total knowledge and attitude scores for gender. CONCLUSION: The results of this survey revealed that even in the second decade of the AIDS epidemic, some Kuwaiti family physicians continue to have a lack of proper knowledge about HIV and harbour negative attitudes toward AIDS patients. There is a need to promote an AIDS education early in the medical internship training years which addresses many underlying socio-cultural factors. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: AIDS and HIV are hot topics in public health nowadays, but little information is available about the way in which HIV test results are communicated to patients. OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to find out about the way in which patients are informed about their HIV test results and the delay they experience. METHOD: Since 1996, a representative network of sentinel GPs has recorded data about requests for HIV tests, risk factors and the way in which and the delay with which patients are informed about their HIV test results. RESULTS: Between 1996 and 1999, 4807 requests for an HIV test were recorded. Test results were given mostly by phone (41.9%). Patients at risk were informed more often during a planned follow-up. Anxious patients were informed more often about the results by phone, and in 61.2% test results were communicated during the first week following the test. Results were given earlier if patients were anxious or had themselves asked for the test. Although non-consensual HIV testing is against the European guidelines on informed consent, 102 tests (2.2%) were performed without informed consent. CONCLUSIONS: Even though notification by phone decreases the delay, physicians should be encouraged to make follow-up appointments to inform the patient about the test results. A face-to-face conversation is the only way in which physicians can offer valuable post-test counselling. Physicians should be informed about the unlawfulness of non-consensual HIV testing. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To assess the previous human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing experience and the hepatitis B (HB) vaccination and testing status of healthcare workers potentially involved in invasive surgical procedures. DESIGN: Anonymous questionnaire survey. SETTING: Tertiary care and community-teaching medical center and affiliated healthcare facilities in Greenville County, South Carolina. PARTICIPANTS: Physicians (including residents in training), dentists, nurses and surgical technicians working in the operating room and labor/delivery areas. RESULTS: Of 506 responding physicians and dentists (65% of the sample), 60% previously had had a test for HIV, and 72% had received HB vaccine. Testing had occurred most often because of a requirement by an insurance company or because of blood donation. Eighty percent of tested respondents had their most recent test within 2 years of the time of the survey (August 1991). Of 145 responding nurses and surgical technicians (73% of the sample), 26% had had a test for HIV and 77% had received HB vaccine. CONCLUSIONS: The majority of surgeons and dentists in Greenville County, South Carolina, already have been tested for HIV for a variety of reasons and thus are aware of their HIV infection status, at least as of the time of the most recent test. The majority of local healthcare workers who are potentially involved with invasive surgical procedures have received HB vaccine. Programs developed in response to recent US Public Health Service guidelines should take HIV testing of healthcare workers for any reason into consideration and should emphasize HB vaccination and testing for vaccine-induced HB immunity. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Patients with disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), while still more commonly treated in urban settings, are being seen in nonurban areas in numbers rapidly outstripping the local availability of specialists with expertise in HIV or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). METHODS: A questionnaire designed to measure self-assessed experience, practices, and knowledge regarding basic aspects of HIV was mailed in 1989 to the 2177 members of the Pennsylvania Academy of Family Physicians. RESULTS: The response rate was 72 percent. Approximately 95 percent of physicians surveyed had been asked questions by patients about AIDS, 30 percent had a patient with a confirmed positive blood test, and 27 percent had a patient with symptomatic HIV disease in their practice. CONCLUSIONS: Although most family physicians indicated that they were comfortable in recognizing persons at risk, counseling, and using tests to diagnose HIV and AIDS, more than one-half reported practice patterns at variance with published guidelines. Respondents were most uncomfortable with their knowledge and skills regarding legal issues, state and community resources, and caring for patients with AIDS. Continuing medical education courses at local hospitals and written materials were the two methods of AIDS education most likely to be used by respondents. 相似文献

Communication between patients and physicians about herbal medicine is valuable, enabling physicians to address issues of potential herb-drug interactions and ensuring appropriate medical care. As seemingly harmless herbal remedies may have detrimental interactions with various HIV antiretroviral drugs, the importance of communication is intensified, but often stifled around the use of herbal medicine in the treatment of HIV/AIDS. In western Uganda, 137 HIV-infected adults attending conventional HIV/AIDS treatment programmes (67 of whom were receiving antiretroviral therapy) shared their experiences and perceptions about traditional herbal medicine and related patient-physician communication issues through interviews and focus group discussions. Although close to 64% of respondents reported using herbal medicine after being diagnosed with HIV, only 16% of these respondents had informed their conventional medical practitioners about using these herbs. Furthermore, only 13% of antiretroviral therapy recipients had inquired about concurrent herb-antiretroviral drug use with their HIV/AIDS treatment providers, largely because they perceived a low acceptance and support for herbal medicine by conventional medical practitioners. Importantly however, almost 68% of HIV-infected adults indicated they would be willing to discuss herbal medicine use if directly asked by a conventional medical practitioner, and the overwhelming majority (91%) said they were amenable to following physician advice about herbal medicine. As such, improved patient-physician communication about herbal medicine is needed, and we recommend that herbal medicine histories be completed when patient histories are taken. Also, HIV/AIDS treatment programmes should be encouraged to develop specific patient-physician communication standards and best practice guidelines to ensure that patients can make informed decisions about herb and pharmaceutical drug co-therapy based on known risks, particularly in the case of AIDS patients receiving antiretroviral therapy. Communication about herbal medicine usage should be viewed as a timely and cost-effective component of antiretroviral therapy programmes, one which may contribute to the overall success of AIDS treatment in Africa. 相似文献

BACKGROUND. Family physicians are caring for an increasing number of those with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, those at risk, and those concerned about HIV disease. METHODS. A questionnaire survey of attitudes and knowledge about HIV infection was conducted in 430 patients in three family practices in Monroe County, NY. RESULTS. The majority of those surveyed had worried about catching HIV and had spoken with friends or relatives about HIV. Approximately 7.5% had had the HIV test. Approximately half of all the respondents expressed a desire to discuss HIV-related issues with their family doctor; however, less than 8% had actually done so. The majority of the respondents believed their family doctor was competent to answer questions about HIV disease. Furthermore, the majority were well informed about the modes of transmission of HIV. Many of the respondents were unsure of the lack of risk from casual contact, however, and whether acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is incurable at the present time. CONCLUSIONS. Family physicians need to take a more active role in educating and counseling patients about HIV disease. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Individual preventive counseling offered to the general public by private doctors working in primary health care is an essential component of the Swiss National Aids Prevention strategy. Surveys were conducted to assess to what extent they fulfill this role and how this may have changed over time. METHODS: Three cross-sectional surveys were conducted in 1990, 1995, and 2002 by anonymous mailed questionnaire in a random sample of primary health care physicians. Dimensions of the physicians HIV prevention practices investigated were: practice of HIV risk assessment, content and frequency of HIV pretest counseling, and, in 2002 only, care of patients living with HIV/AIDS. Trends over the 12-year period were calculated; logistic regressions were performed to investigate factors associated with the frequency of counseling given to HIV positive patients. RESULTS: Risk assessment has increased dramatically over the period for certain groups of patients (patients requesting contraception, young people and new patients). In 2002, routine screening is often or always performed by 93% of physicians for intravenous drug patients or patients with a sexually transmitted infection; 77% for homosexuals; 76% for patients requesting contraception; 63% for young people. It is less frequent in other groups (migrants: 40%; separated/divorced patients: 29%). More than half of physicians care for patients with HIV. Around two-thirds of physicians regularly discuss with their HIV positive patients issues related to patients' professional, social and private life. There are few differences among specialties regarding the propensity to discuss these topics. CONCLUSION: Prevention activities by primary care physicians have increased in the last decade. Nonetheless, potential for increased prevention still exists in some areas of risk assessment and counseling. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To describe the knowledge, attitudes and practices of prenatal care providers in relation to prenatal HIV testing. METHODS: A stratified random sample of 784 family physicians, 200 obstetricians and 103 midwives providing prenatal care in 3 health planning regions in Ontario received a questionnaire. RESULTS: Response was 622/1087 (57%). Almost half of participants (43%) were not aware of Ontario's prenatal HIV testing policy. Eighty-five percent of participants reported that they offered or ordered HIV testing for all pregnant women. Sixty-six percent agreed that women should have a choice about whether to test or not, and midwives were more supportive of having an informed consent process than were physicians. CONCLUSION: Knowledge about the risks and benefits of prenatal HIV testing needs to be improved, and standards for informed consent should be re-evaluated to achieve the most ethical process with the least complexity. 相似文献
