Abstract Background The quality of services in Uganda at higher level health facilities are usually affected negatively by congestion when patients bypass care from their primary care health facilities (PCHF). The reason behind this bypass phenomenon in Uganda is limited. This study was conducted among patients receiving care at Lira Regional Referral Hospital in northern Uganda to identify reasons why patients bypass their PCHF. Methods We performed a descriptive cross-sectional study between 29/12/2014 & 30/1/2015, 484 respondents attending the outpatient department were recruited by systematic random sampling. Four focus group discussions (FGDs) each involving 10 participants were conducted. Quantitative data was collected using a validated questionnaire, entered, analysed by Epidata Entry 3.1 and SPSS 18 versions respectively. Descriptive statistics and chi square test for differences in the study population were used. For qualitative data, thematic analysis of transcripts was done. Codes and categories were developed and interrogated following an iterative process based on grounded theory. Results The majority (80.4%) of respondents (71.7% females, mean age 18-35 years, SD 0.85) bypassed their PCHF. Factors associated with bypass were: marital status, distance travelled of >10 km and tertiary education. FGDs reported lack of trust in the health care providers, lack of medicines and diagnostic equipment. Conclusions Poor quality of health services at PCHF encourages seeking care from higher-level facilities. Utilization of PCHF is limited due to poor infrastructure, shortage of medicines and human resource. Improvement of these issues will support PCHF which in turn can help reverse bypass phenomenon.

Parental beliefs about vaccination are one of the main factors in reaching high vaccination rates. This cross-sectional study aims to assess the awareness and attitudes regarding routine childhood immunization among Saudi parents in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This survey, with a pretested 18-item questionnaire, was conducted on parents having at least one child from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, between 1 May 2019 and 1 November 2019. The validated questionnaire consisted of three sections; participants’ demographics, awareness, and attitude regarding the immunization of their children. In total, 1200 parents participated in the study, 883 (73.3%) of the parents scored a good knowledge of childhood immunization, and 93% knew that routine vaccination protects children from infectious diseases and their complications. Around 10% stated that immunization can cause autism. Only parents in age groups 30–39 and 40–49 were 1.76 (p < 0.05) times and 1.92 (p < 0.05) times, respectively, more likely to exhibit good knowledge. About 522 (43.6) of the parents attained a positive attitude toward immunization. Adherence to the immunization schedule was confirmed important by 93%, while 91% presumed that immunization keeps their children healthy. Additionally, immunization was perceived as important by 94% of parents and only 8% agreed that immunization is prohibited by religion. Females were 1.45 (p < 0.05) times more likely to exhibit positive attitudes than males. Parents have good knowledge and a positive attitude towards child immunization. However, parental education should be focused on the fact that religion supports immunization, and more awareness should be focused on the lack of correlation between autism and vaccination.

This cross-sectional study aimed to translate, culturally adapt, validate, and apply a Celiac Disease Quality of Life (CD-QoL) questionnaire to a representative sample of Argentina’s celiac population. A previously developed and validated questionnaire (Celiac Disease Questionnaire: CDQ) was chosen as a tool for assessing the health-related quality of Life (HRQoL) of adult celiac patients in Argentina. Therefore, the study was performed in four stages: (a) translation and re-translation of the CDQ to Argentinian-Spanish language; (b) cultural adaptation and semantic evaluation; based on the Delphi method (c) validation of the CDQ by applying it to a representative sample of Argentinian celiac patients; (d) statistical analysis of the data. The result of stages (a) and (b) was a translated and culturally adapted an Argentinian-Spanish version of the CDQ, which was generated after reaching consensus between the corresponding four (phase a) and 10 (phase b) professionals involved in the different phases of this process. Among them, we can cite bilingual healthcare professionals with extensive experience in research and celiac disease, celiac patients, gastroenterologists, general practitioners, dieticians, and psychologists. The resulting CDQ proved to be an appropriate measuring tool to assess the HRQoL of Argentinian celiac patients confirmed by a good fit in the confirmatory factor validity analysis (RMSEA < 0.001 and χ2 = 267.325, df = 313, p = 0.971) and high values of internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha > 0.7). A total of 191 participants accessed the questionnaire, and 171 individuals from 20 out of 23 Argentinian states completed the questionnaire. There was no correlation between higher educational level nor marital status with QoL. Individuals on a strict gluten-free diet (GFD) and those who do not take antidepressants showed higher QoL. Male gender also presented better HRQoL. There was no correlation between differences in HRQoL and age of the respondent, age at diagnosis, symptoms at diagnosis, or having other chronic diseases. However, a significantly higher score of HRQoL was reported among those individuals who disclosed having knowledge of CD related national regulations and benefits. This study highlights the importance of maintaining current public health regulations that support chronic disease patients, such as celiac patients.

51 Background: Retaining quality of life in patients treated with SBRT for prostate cancer remains paramount. As such, balancing the benefits of treatment against the effects of therapy on patients is essential. The quality of life is influenced by the disease and treatment related burden. The EORTC QLQ-ELD14 (ELD14) is a validated questionnaire that can assess burden. This study reports burden trends in patients with prostate cancer treated with SBRT. Methods: All patients with localized prostate cancer treated with SBRT at Georgetown University Hospital from 2007 to 2016 were eligible for inclusion in this cross-sectional cohort. The ELD14 questionnaire was used to assess self-reported patient quality of life at time points before and following treatment. Initially, 267 patients (Median age of 70) responded to the ELD14 questionnaire. Approximately 30% received ADT. The specific questions reviewed for this study were focused on burden of disease and treatment. The responses to these questions were grouped into three clinically relevant categories (not at all, a little and quite a bit to very much). Results: Number of patients reporting quite a bit or very much burden from prostate cancer declined over time from 13% prior to treatment to 8% at 36 months post-SBRT. This was highest at one month post-SBRT (15%) and resolved to baseline by 6 months. Treatment burden similarly decreased over time from 10% to 3%. Patients treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) experienced greater burden than others. At initial consult, 19% of patients on ADT reported quite a bit or very much burden from their illness. At one month post-SBRT, this had increased to 27% and subsequently decreased to 16% at 36 months. Of those not receiving ADT, 12% reported having quite a bit or very much burden from illness initially, 9% at one month and 6% at 36 months. Conclusions: This cross-sectional study suggests that the burden of clinically localized prostate and its treatment with SBRT improves over time. Increased burden was noted in patients receiving ADT. These findings can inform decision making in improving quality of life for patients with prostate cancer treated with SBRT.

Objective: To evaluate patients’ attitudes regarding their dizziness, provider capabilities, and receptiveness toward treatment. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Tertiary care vestibular clinic. Patients: Ages 18 years or older, fluent in English, and who presented with a chief complaint of dizziness or vertigo. Intervention(s): N/A. Main Outcomes Measure(s): Non-validated questionnaire surveying patients’ beliefs regarding the cause of their dizziness, likelihood of successful treatment, and openness to various treatment modalities Results: Patients were asked to complete an online non-validated survey regarding their dizziness prior to being evaluated in neurotology clinic. About 67 surveys were completed between January 2017 and September 2018. A majority of patients attributed their dizziness to their ears (n = 47, 70%), followed by the brain (n = 29, 43%). Most subjects chose “neither agree nor disagree” about whether their provider could identify the cause of their dizziness (27%). Most subjects also chose “neither agree nor disagree” that their dizziness would resolve with treatment (31%). These attitudes were not influenced by demographics, dizziness severity, anxiety, depression, or quality of life on multivariate ordinal regression modeling. Conclusions: Patients who experience dizziness have neutral attitudes with regards to believing that their provider will be able to identify the cause of their dizziness and whether their dizziness will resolve with treatment. These neutral attitudes are experienced by a plurality of patients and do not differ by demographic information, dizziness handicap, quality of life, depression, or anxiety.
