SummaryThis study aimed to assess knowledge, attitude and practice related to consanguinity among multiethnic health care providers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Using a cross-sectional study design, a validated, self-administered close-ended questionnaire was randomly distributed to health care providers in different health institutions in the country between 1st August 2012 and 31st July 2013. A total of 1235 health care providers completed the study questionnaire. Of the 892 married participants (72.23% of total), 11.43% were married to a first cousin, and were predominantly Arabs, younger than 40 years and male. Only 17.80% of the patients seen by the health care providers requested consanguinity related counselling. A knowledge barrier was expressed by 27.49% of the participants, and 85.67% indicated their willingness to have more training in basic genetic counselling. A language barrier was expressed as a limiting factor to counselling for consanguinity among non-Arabs. The health care providers had a major dearth of knowledge that was reflected in their attitude and practice towards consanguinity counselling. This finding indicates the need for more undergraduate and postgraduate medical and nursing education and training in the counselling of consanguineous couples. It is recommended that consanguinity counselling is included in the current premarital screening and counselling programmes in the Kingdom.

Objectives: The primary objective of this study is to assess three domains - the knowledge, attitude and practice related to the Intrauterine Contraceptive Device (IUCD) among primary health care providers (physicians and nurses) in Oman. The secondary objective is to compare the IUCD-related knowledge, attitude and practice of health care providers in primary health care between physicians and nurses. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted in primary health care centers in Muscat region of Oman from May, 2014 until September, 2015. The survey was a self-administered questionnaire contained questions to assess factual knowledge, attitudes and practice of IUCD. The questionnaire was distributed to female health care providers only. Data was collected by researchers and analyzed using SPSS version 20. Results: Total 269 primary health care providers completed the questionnaire. 109 (40.52%) participants had good and 131 (48.70%) had average actual knowledge related to IUCD. The main reasons providers cited for not recommending the IUCD were concerns about the side effects; 174 (64.68%) mentioned that it causes bleeding and 127 (47.21%) reported that it needs service provider. Only 140 (52.43%) of the providers would routinely recommend IUCD to their clients. Conclusion: Future educational programs for health care providers should address the educational needs in the identified areas including misconceptions with regards to IUCD failure rate and side effects. Future training programs are also required to increase the technical competence of insertion and confidence in handling the side effects of IUCD.
