Abstract:
Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the top causes of death in many places of the world. Diagnosing DM in the early stage is necessary to avoid severe cases and death. Objectives: To evaluate the knowledge of association between DM and periodontal disease (PD) among Thai physicians and assess their attitudes towards DM screening in dental clinics in Thailand. Methods: Online survey of currently practicing physicians in Thailand was conducted on voluntary basis using the newly developed questionnaire. Result: We received 403 responses that are statistically sufficient to represent the entire population of currently practicing physicians in Thailand. A total of 97.3% of all responses indicate that Thai physicians have knowledge about the association between DM and PD. More than 90% know that DM has an effect on PD; however, 70% know about the effect of untreated PD in DM patients. Most of physicians think that DM screening in dental clinics is important (79.1%) and are ready to accept referred cases for definite DM diagnosis from a dentist (84.1%). The concerned issues among the participants were the accuracy of the test results in DM screening (73%) and ability of a dentist to perform the screening (71.5%). Conclusions: The majority of participating physicians have adequate knowledge about the bidirectional relationship between DM and PD. They have a positive attitude towards DM screening in dental setting. The collaboration between physicians and dental professionals should be established to reduce the number of undiagnosed DM patients and enhance the medical care of DM patients.

Abstract:
Although physicians in Thailand can carry out abortions legally, unsafe abortion rates remain high and have serious consequences for women’s health. Training programs for healthcare providers on the ‘Care of unplanned and adolescent pregnancies for the prevention of unsafe abortions’ have been implemented in Thailand with the aim of providing information and challenging negative attitudes about abortions. This study investigated the participants of the training courses in order to: (i) evaluate their knowledge and attitudes towards safe abortions; and (ii) investigate the factors that determine their knowledge and attitudes. A pre-post study design was applied. Descriptive statistics were calculated to provide an overview of the data. Bivariate analysis, a Wilcoxon signed rank test and a multivariable analysis using multiple linear regression were applied to determine the changes in attitudes and assess the likelihood of behaviour change towards adolescents and women experiencing unplanned pregnancy and abortions, according to demographic and professional characteristics. Having had the training, healthcare providers’ change in attitudes towards adolescents and women experiencing unplanned pregnancies and abortions were found to be 0.67 points for the nine responses of attitudes and 0.79 points for the 14 responses on various abortion scenarios. Changes in attitude were significantly different among the varying health professional types, with non-doctors increasing by 0.53 points, non-obstetricians and non-gynaecologists increasing by 0.46 points and obstetricians and gynaecologists (OBGYN) increasing by 0.32 points. Positive attitudes towards unplanned pregnancies and unsafe abortions and attitudes towards abortion scenarios significantly increased. The career type of the health professional was a significant factor in improving attitudes. The training program was more effective among non-doctor healthcare providers. Therefore, non-doctors could be the target population for training in the future.

Abstract:
Objective: To determine Thai, outpatients’ preference and attitudes towards various styles of a physicians’ attire, whilst they were on duty at Songklanagarind Hospital, within Songkhla province, Thailand.Material and Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Songklanagarind Hospital, Songkhla, Thailand; during the periods of January to March, 2015. Outpatients, who visited and were waiting to see their doctor, were approached by simply, convenience randomization. Demographic characteristics of participants along with their preference on attire were collected by using a self-rating questionnaire enclosed with 3 various styles of attire pictures.Results: Most patients preferred both male and female physicians, who wore white coats (70.0%), while they were on duty, either during weekdays or over the weekend. Similarly, the patients stated that they trusted physicians, who wore white coats (92.2%), more than those in a style of formal attire, (7.5%) or casual clothing (0.3%) during the weekday due to; a sense of professionalism and knowledge. Although, most patients also preferred physicians wearing white coats over the weekend and holiday periods (50.4%) they could accept a form of smart, casual dress, (45.0%) more so than a style of formal attire (4.7%).Conclusion: Most patients preferred and tended to trust physicians, who wore white coats during both official and non-official times.

Abstract:
e21698 Background: Adequate dosing of analgesics is important for optimum cancer pain control & quality of life (QoL). To understand current attitudes toward analgesic treatment for cancer pain in SEA, the ACE study explored patient & physician satisfaction with pain control in 6 SEA countries. Methods: This cross-sectional observational study included 465 adult outpatients prescribed analgesics for cancer pain for ≥1 month in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, & Vietnam. Pain intensity, sleep disturbance, QoL, satisfaction with pain control, & physicians’ assessment of adequacy of analgesics were recorded via questionnaires. Current analgesic doses prescribed were extracted from medical records. Results: Most patients (84%) had stage 3 or 4 cancer. While 91% were prescribed opioids, mean reported pain intensity was 4.1 (0/no pain, 10/worst possible pain) & most had problems with sleep (55%) & QoL (problems with pain/discomfort [82%], usual activities [66%] & anxiety/depression [56%]). 60% of patients were satisfied with their pain control status & 30% found it acceptable. Physicians more often reported dissatisfaction with patients’ pain control status compared with patients (21% vs 10%). Patient-physician concordance in satisfaction with pain control was low (weighted Kappa 0.36; 95% CI 0.30-0.43). More than 1 in 4 physicians (29%) assessed prescribed analgesics to be “inadequate” for pain control. Median daily dose prescribed in oral morphine equivalents was 30 mg for both morphine & tramadol. Of the SEA countries included, prescribed doses of opioids were generally lower in Indonesia & higher in Vietnam. Conclusions: The results highlight the complexity of managing cancer pain in SEA. Despite unrelieved pain, sleep disturbance & QoL issues, many patients still reported satisfaction with pain control. Notably, physicians expressed dissatisfaction more frequently than patients. These findings suggest a need for all-round pain status assessment (including pain intensity, sleep disturbance, QoL) & improved patient-physician communication about analgesic treatment expectations, pain control & adverse effects.

Abstract:
We conducted a mail survey of Thai physicians involved in obstetric care to assess attitudes and practices regarding zidovudine use during pregnancy and willingness to provide care for HIV-infected women in 1999. Of 845 respondents, 57% reported using perinatal zidovudine prophylaxis, an increase from 20% reported in 1997. Highest failure-to-use rates (52%) were among the respondents from Central and Southern Thailand and lowest failure rate was among those from the North (37%). Predictors of failure to use zidovudine in a multivariable logistic regression analysis were not knowing a source from which to obtain zidovudine (odds ratio [OR]=3.1), working in smaller hospitals (district/provincial/private hospitals) (OR=2.0), being from Eastern/Central/Southern Thailand (OR=1.4), unwillingness to perform caesarean section delivery on a HIV-positive women (OR=1.8), having provided antenatal care to fewer than 100 women in 1998 (OR=1.7), and unfamiliarity with Pediatric AIDS Clinical Trial Group 076 protocol (OR=2.9). A number of respondents described themselves as unwilling to perform pelvic examinations (15%), vaginal delivery (29%), or caesarean sections (37%) on HIV-infected pregnant women. About 39% of the respondents advocated elective terminations of pregnancy for HIV-infected women. Our survey indicates an increasing willingness of Thai physicians to use antiretroviral therapy to prevent mother-to-child HIV transmission and to provide obstetric care to HIV-infected women. However, availability and affordability remained major barriers to more widespread antiretroviral use in 1999.

Abstract:
Background: Health promotion education in elderly is the most important key to successful implementation of fall prevention program in primary care practice. The Ministry of Public Health in Thailand has encouraged the hospital in community to use the self-health records which were found to enhance healthy behaviors. Objective: To compare the knowledge and attitudes on fall prevention among elderly patients and their caregivers before and after the education program that employed using self-health records and receiving the counseling from nurses and pharmacists. Methods: This embedded mixed methods study was designed by using the structured questionnaires including demographic data and measuring the knowledge and attitude on fall prevention for quantitative arm (143 elderly patients and 42 caregivers). The open-ended questions about the advantages and disadvantages of self-health records were used in qualitative part among 106 elderly patients and 29 caregivers after 6 months of using their records. Results: Knowledge and attitude scores were statistically higher in all parts, including appropriate use of the medications, following vaccination schedule, and getting information about fall prevention from their primary care physicians. All participants in qualitative study required to have their self-health records to improve their understanding about their medications and health information. Conclusions: Self-health records and receiving the counseling from nurses and pharmacists not only enhances the knowledge and attitude toward fall prevention program in older adults but also helps patients to communicate with the specialists about their health information.
