“…A cross-sectional design was used to assess the knowledge, attitudes and practices of hypertensive patients towards prevention and early detection of CKD by using a newly developed instrument called CKD Screening Index [10, 11]. This index is a reliable and valid instrument which provides scores on three domains including: knowledge, attitudes and practices [10, 11].…”

“…Interestingly, a large majority of patients with renal dysfunction are not even aware of having CKD. It has been proven by several studies that the lacks of knowledge about CKD, along with the negative attitudes and practices have resulted in delayed diagnosis of CKD [10–12]. This in turn has only accelerated the development of end-stage renal disease, leading to increased dialysis costs as well as other sequela of the disease, including psychological disorders which ultimately negatively affects the health outcome [11, 12].…”

“…Although several studies were carried out in Palestine among hypertensive patients [13–20], literature review revealed no studies on the knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) towards early detection and prevention of CKD among hypertensive patients in Palestine and only few at a global level [10–12, 21, 22]. The aims of the study were to assess the knowledge, attitudes and practices of hypertensive patients towards prevention and early detection of CKD, and to determine the clinical and sociodemographic factors, which affect the KAP regarding prevention of CKD.…”

BackgroundHypertension is the second most common cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Therefore, the aims of the study were to assess the knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) of hypertensive patients towards prevention and early detection of CKD, and to determine the clinical and socio-demographic factors, which affect the KAP regarding prevention of CKD.MethodsA cross-sectional study was held using the CKD screening Index to assess the KAP of 374 hypertensive patients who were selected from multiple primary healthcare centers in Nablus, Palestine. The CKD Screening Index is formed of three scales. First, the knowledge scale was a dichotomous scale of 30 items, while the attitude scale used 5-point Likert-type scale for 18 items and finally the practice scale was measured using 4-point Likert-type scale for 12 items. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine the association between clinical and socio-demographic factors and practices.ResultsIn total, 374 hypertensive patients participated in the study. The mean age of participants was 59.14 ± 10.4 years, (range 26–85). The median (interquartile range) of the knowledge, attitude, and practice scores of hypertensive patients towards prevention and early detection of CKD were 20 (16–23), 69 (65–72), and 39 (36–42), respectively. In multiple linear regression analysis, patients age < 65 years (p < 0.001) and patients with high education level (p = 0.009) were the only factors significantly associated with higher knowledge scores. Additionally, patients age < 65 years (p = 0.007), patients with high income (p = 0.005), and patients with high knowledge score (p < 0.001) were the only factors significantly associated with higher attitude scores. Furthermore, regression analysis showed that patients with higher total knowledge (p = 0.001) as well as higher total attitudes scores towards CKD prevention (p < 0.001), male gender (p = 0.048), and patients with normal body mass index (BMI) (p = 0.026) were statistically significantly associated with higher practice score towards CKD prevention.ConclusionsAmong hypertensive patients, higher scores for total knowledge and attitudes toward prevention, male sex, and normal BMI were associated with modestly higher scores for prevention practices. Finally the findings may encourage healthcare workers to give better counseling to improve knowledge.

“…Men require detailed information about the pros and cons of PSA screening in order to make an informed decision. Khalil and Abdalrahim (2014) concluded that improvement in population understanding about chronic disease is needed to increase their awareness and practices to make appropriate and effective decisions towards health promotion and better quality of life.…”

Background: Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting men globally, constituting the sixth leading cause of cancer related death in males, and the eleventh leading cause of death from cancer in all age groups. In Jordan, prostate cancer is the third most common cancer in the male population, accounting for one third (6.2%) of cancer related deaths and in 2010 alone, 218 (9.4%) new cases were identified. Objective: To assess the effectiveness of different health education interventions aimed at enhancing knowledge, beliefs and intention to screen for prostate cancer. Materials and Methods: A literature search from January 2000 to April 2015 was conducted using the key words "prostate disease," "educational program," "knowledge," "prostate cancer," "demographic factors and prostate cancer," "knowledge and prostate cancer," "education for patients with prostate cancer," "factors that affect intention to screen," "knowledge, beliefs, and intention to screen for prostate cancer," "impact of prostate educational program on beliefs," and "impact of educational program on intention to screen." Results: Majority of studies reviewed indicated that men had low levels of knowledge regarding prostate cancer, and mild to moderate beliefs with good intention to screen for prostate cancer. Conclusions: Most studies indicated that men's knowledge levels about prostate cancer were poor and they had mild to moderate beliefs and intentions to screen for prostate cancer. Therefore, development of an assessment strategy based on the Health Belief Model seems essential. An effectively designed and implemented educational program can help identify the needs and priorities of the target population.

“…Hypertension and diabetes mellitus are the leading important risk factors for CKD in developing countries [7]. Many studies have confirmed this association -these two diseases share risk factors such as smoking and obesity, and promote vascular alterations that increase the risk for developing kidney impairment [8].…”

Doctors’ knowledge and practices regarding chronic kidney disease at a tertiary care hospital

Background: The complications of chronic kidney disease (CKD) significantly contribute to morbidity and mortality, therefore clinical practice guidelines have been developed to facilitate early detection and treatment. However, given the high prevalence of CKD, many patients with early CKD are seen by non-nephrologists, who need to be aware of CKD complications, screening methods and treatments goals in order to initiate timely therapy and referral.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at three campuses of the Ziauddin University Hospital, Karachi, Pakistan in 2016. A questionnaire based survey was conducted to assess the knowledge and practices of doctors from various specialties regarding CKD.Results: We performed a questionnaire based survey to assess knowledge and practice patterns in CKD care among 156 doctors. There were 63 male and 50 female respondents. There were 24 attending doctors, 73 post-graduate trainees and 25 house-officers. Our data showed that although CKD risk factors are generally recognized, there is a paucity of knowledge regarding CKD management guidelines and staging of CKD. There is an awareness regarding timely referral to nephrology, but many would still not refer at the appropriate stage. Many also do not use standard equations to calculate Glomerular Filtration rate (GFR) and Creatinine Clearance]. Most do screen for diabetic nephropathy, know about ACE-I/ARBs and provide dietary counseling to CKD patients. The majority do not read medical journals to keep their knowledge up-to-date. Junior doctors (post-graduate trainees and house-officers) fared better than attending doctors in the knowledge and practice parameters.
