Study Results

BACKGROUND፡ Despite the huge numbers of the universally produced and employed protocols, the adherence with them is still low to moderate in the healthcare settings. This study was employed to assess the attitudes of Palestinian healthcare professionals in Gaza Strip to health education and counseling on healthy behaviours protocol (WHO-PEN Protocol 2), for patients with non-communicable diseases in the Ministry of Health primary healthcare centers.METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted with a census sample of all governmental family physicians and nurses (n=175). The study questionnaire was developed based on Cabana theoretical framework. The Arabic version questionnaire was developed based on the cross-cultural adaptation framework. The psychometric properties of the Arabic version questionnaire was finally evaluated.RESULTS: The psychometric properties of the Arabic version questionnaire showed good construct validity and internal consistency reliability. The overall adherence level to WHO-PEN Protocol 2 was 70.0, SD=6.9. The main perceived barriers were lack of incentive, patients’ factors, and lack of time. In general, most of healthcare professional respondents had a positive attitude toward the protocol, but this attitude was not predictor to protocol adherence.CONCLUSION: The good validity and reliability of the questionnaire can provide support for the accuracy of the study results. Varied implementation strategies targeting the major barriers derived from the study are extremely required for addressing the lack of incentives, patients’ factors and time constraints.

AbstractThe Vancouver scar scale, the Manchester scar scale, and the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) are all very well-known scar evaluation methods. These tools are based on a number of scar variables, including color, height, and pliability. However, since all were mainly developed to evaluate burn scars, they are difficult to use in clinical practice for keloids and hypertrophic scars. This is because these pathological scars require both differential diagnosis and a way to evaluate their response to therapy. The Japan Scar Workshop (JSW) has sought to develop a scar assessment scale that meets these clinical needs. The first version of this scar assessment tool was named the JSW scar scale (JSS), and it was reported in 2011. In 2015, the revised second version was reported. The JSS consists of two tables. One is a scar classification table that is used to determine whether the scar is a normal mature scar, a hypertrophic scar, or a keloid. This grading system helps the user to select the most appropriate treatment method for the scar. The other table in the JSS is an evaluation table that is used to judge the response to treatment and for follow-up. Both tables contain sample images of each subjective keloid/hypertrophic scar item that allow the user to evaluate each item without hesitation.

Abstract Complicated epidermoid cysts (ECs) occur commonly on the back, but few reports have described their management. We present our experience in managing patients with ECs on the back using a keystone-design perforator island flap (KDPIF) reconstruction, thereby focusing on reduction and redistribution of wound tension. Altogether, 15 patients (average age, 48.067 ± 14.868 years) underwent KDPIF reconstructions after complete excision of complicated ECs on the back. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records and clinical photographs of all patients. Final scar appearance was evaluated using the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS). All patients had ruptured ECs, while 6 patients also had cellulitis of the surrounding tissues. All defects, after complete excision of ECs and debridement of surrounding unhealthy tissues, were successfully covered with KDPIF. The mean ‘tension-change’ at the defect and donor sites was −4.73 ± 0.21 N and −4.88 ± 0.25 N, respectively (p < 0.001). The mean ‘rate of tension-change’ at the defect and donor sites was −69.48 ± 1.7% and −71.16 ± 1.33%, respectively (p < 0.001). All flaps survived with no postoperative complications. The mean observer scar assessment scale (OSAS) summary score and patient scar assessment scale (PSAS) total score were 14.467 ± 5.069 and 15.6 ± 6.512, respectively. Overall, we suggest that KDPIF reconstruction is a good surgical modality for the management of complicated ECs on the back.
