Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Diabetes is one of the rapidly growing chronic health conditions across the world. Healthcare providers still continue to face difficulties in delivering optimal care and education worldwide. Thus, continuing education is needed to improve Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices of physicians.
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a continuing education (CE) program on the Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices of primary health care physicians (HCPs) towards a high quality of diabetes care.
Design and Methods:
This is a quasi-experimental design composed of pre-test post-test uncontrolled experimental design. The study will include all PHC physicians registered in health sectors of Abha and Khamis Musheet cities, Aseer Region. The physicians will be invited to attend a CE program. All participants will fill out a questionnaire before and after the intervention. The change in knowledge and attitudes of the participants will be measured at the end of the program. After 4 months, the practice of physicians will be assessed through retrospective review of patient's files.
Impact:
Education programs could positively influence the knowledge, beliefs and attitudes of healthcare workers toward a high quality of diabetes care, which in turn plays a major role in improving clinical outcomes.
