e21536 Background: Palliative care (PC) aims to prevent, relieve and manage the symptoms of cancer and the adverse effects of cancer treatment; however, lack of education is among the biggest challenges facing PC in Philippines. Education and Awareness are dismal, especially in Southern Philippines. This study aimed to assess the level of knowledge, attitude, and practice of Health Care Provider towards pediatric PC. And to discover associated factors that limits the pediatric oncology patients to receive PC and identify the barriers in providing PC by the cancer centers to the pediatric oncology patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study design, conducted at tertiary care hospital that offers PC to pediatric oncology patients at Southern Philippines. Structured questionnaire was circulated to identify the barriers of PC, and assess the Knowledge, Attitude and Practices (KAP) of health care provider using a systematic random sampling method. The data was entered, cleaned and analyzed using excel and SPSS version 19.0 software. The chisquare test was employed to assess the association between variables. A p-value of less than 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: From the total of 508 health care providers selected, a response rate of 500 (98.4%) were registered. Among the respondents 287(57.4%) had good knowledge and 259 (58.1%) had favorable attitude towards pediatric PC. In contrast, the level of practice showed that the majority 384 (76.8%) of health care providers had poor practice towards PC. Results showed that 94% to 99% of health care providers believed that the inadequate research evidence base to guide and measure the quality of life and lack of staff training in pediatric PC were the major barriers in providing PC by the cancer centers to the pediatric oncology patients. And 100% health care providers affirmed that the ignorance and lack of awareness about the existing program and resources of PC were the major factors that limits the pediatric oncology patients to receive pediatric PC in Southern Philippines. Conclusions: The health care providers had poor training and knowledge aspect of practice, but their attitude towards PC was favorable. Recommendations are the needs to be incorporated in the Department of Health through Continuing Professional Development to promote regular training for PC. Also, Educational awareness to assist healthcare professionals and pediatric oncology patients involved in PC needs to be regulated and provide.

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.

Introduction: Antibiotic resistance is definitely one of the most dreaded outcomes of injudicious use of antibiotics in a developing country like India. The prevalence of Over the counter (OTC) availability of antibiotics has also contributed to this bane and burden of antibiotic resistance in our country. Aim: The aim of this survey based study was to examine the knowledge on antibiotic usage, resistance, attitudes, perceptions and practices among dental health care providers using an online survey. Methods and Methodology: An Eighteen point online close ended questionnaire based survey was conducted amongst 100 randomly selected postgraduate stu- dents in various dental specialities from our institution, whereby their Knowledge, attitude and Practice regard- ing antibiotic resistance and usage was assessed. The questionnaire was designed to include demographic information of the participants along with questions based on frequency of antibiotic usage, resistance and interest of participants to attend educational seminars as a part of continuing education. Results: 76.47% participants agreed that antibiotic resis- tance is a major public health burden in India and glob- ally. Participants who had never attended seminars on antibiotic resistance were 82.35% and 89.41% were willing to attend seminars. Conclusions: Our survey showed few mis-prescriptions of antibiotics in cases of resistance to penicillin groups of drugs and use of broad versus narrow spectrum antibiotics. However, the overall awareness and prescription protocols were appropriate, thereby concluding that post graduates had a good knowledge of antibiotics, their use and risks involved.

Abstract Background Cancer remains one of the primary causes of death in Bangladesh. The success of cancer control in rural areas depends on the ability of the health care system and workforce to identify and manage cases properly at early stages. Community Health Workers (CHW) can play a vital role in this process. The present study aims to assess cancer related Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) among 2 categories of CHWs - Community Health Care Providers (CHCP) and Health Assistants (HA) in rural Bangladesh. Methods A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire from July 2019 to June 2020. Multi-stage sampling technique was used to determine the sample. One Upazilla Health Complex (UHC) from each of the eight administrative divisions of Bangladesh were randomly chosen as study sites, from which 325 CHCPs and HAs were in the final sample. Multivariate logistic regression models were developed to determine the association between KAP scores and demographic variables. Results Our study shows that a modest number of respondents scored above average in the knowledge (54.15%), attitude (58.15%), and practice (65.54%) sections. Majority CHCPs (90.91%) and HAs (96.06%) did not receive govt. training on cancer. Only 20.71% HAs and 25.2% CHCPs knew about the availability of cancer treatment options in Bangladesh. Uncertainty about the availability of relevant treatments or vaccinations at public facilities was also high. Having cancer in the family, income, duration of employment and workplace locations were important predictors of cancer related KAP scores. Conclusion Healthcare workforce’s knowledge gap and unfavorable attitude towards cancer may result in poor delivery of care at the rural level. For many people in rural areas, CHCPs and HAs are the first point of contact with the healthcare system and thus effective cancer control strategies must consider them as key stakeholders. Targeted training programs must be adopted to address the cancer related KAP gaps among CHCPs and HAs.
