Ear Infection

BACKGROUND Otitis media (OM) is a very common childhood problem. It is inflammation of the middle ear usually caused by viral or bacterial infection. Otitis media is a main cause of antibiotic use in children. The primary treatment for acute otitis media (AOM) is watchful waiting: 80% of cases resolve without intervention. Southeast Asia, the Western Pacific region, and Africa have the highest prevalence of OM. Prevalence studies on OM are scant in Saudi Arabia. Only a few studies have been conducted in some cities. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the knowledge, attitude, and health-seeking practices of parents with regard to OM. METHODS A national study was conducted September 19, 2018–October 9, 2018 in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Data were collected using an electronic online questionnaire. It was culturally adopted, validated, and translated into Arabic. Items on the questionnaire included demographics, knowledge, attitude, and health practices about ear infection among parents of children <5 years old. The calculated representative sample size of the Saudi population was 9600 individuals (95% confidence interval and 1% margin of error). The aim was for 10,000 responses. Stratified sampling was used with each administrative area considered as independent strata. Statistical analysis was conducted using Excel software (Microsoft, Redmond, WA). Data were coded, grouped, arranged, and cleaned. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (version 23.0; Armonk, NY: IBM Corporation) was used for data analysis. RESULTS This study included 10,004 participants. Most were females. The mean age was 37.93 years (standard deviation, 10.20 years). Overall, 81.9% of parents were knowledgeable about ear infection. Parents who were knowledgeable about ear infections were significantly older (P = .005), female (P < .001), had a higher education level (P < .001), were married (P < .001), had a monthly income of 10,000–20,000 Saudi riyals (P < .001), and lived in the Al-Baha region (P < .001). The scores of 90.0% of parents indicated they had a good attitude about ear infection; and 58.6% of parents believed that ignorance is why children do not go to a healthcare facility for ear infection treatment. Parents with positive overall health practices represent 81.2%. Parents with good health practices were significantly associated with female sex (P = .009), higher education level (P < .001), being married (P < .001), a monthly income of 5000–1000 Saudi riyals (SR; P < .001), and living in the Al-Baha region (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Knowledge, attitude, and health-seeking practices in Saudi Arabia were overall adequate. However, more integrated educational materials are needed for the general population. The development of a broad national awareness program, especially in low socioeconomic areas, could significantly contribute to the early detection and management of OM.

Use Of Health Services

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To assess whether sex, education level, and health insurance affect the use of health services among the adult Brazilian population with chronic noncommunicable diseases (NCD). METHODS Data from a cross-sectional survey were analyzed, the National Health Survey (PNS). Frequency of use of services in the population that referred at least one NCD were compared with the frequency from a population that did not report NCD, according to sex, education level, health insurance, and NCD number (1, 2, 3, 4, or more). The prevalence and prevalence ratios were calculated crude and adjusted for sex, age, region, and 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS The presence of a noncommunicable disease was associated with increase in hospitalizations in the last 12 months, in 1.7 times (95%CI 1.53–1.9). Failing to perform usual activities in the last two weeks for health reasons was 3.1 times higher in NCD carriers (95%CI 2.78–3.46); while the prevalence of medical consultation in the last 12 months was 1.26 times higher (95%CI 1.24–1.28). NCD carriers make more use of health services, as well as women, people with higher number of comorbidities, with health insurance, and higher education level. CONCLUSIONS NCD carriers make more use of health services, as well as women, people with higher number of comorbidities, with health insurance, and higher education level.

Epinephrine Autoinjector

<b><i>Background:</i></b> Epinephrine autoinjector (EAI) is prescribed to prevent a fatal outcome in the case of a repeated anaphylactic reactions. We wanted to determine how adult patients who received their first prescription as part of an urgent treatment of an anaphylactic reaction or at their family physician were instructed on the use of EAI. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Nurses assessing patients’ knowledge asked the patient to demonstrate how to use the EAI training device. Patients who performed the critical steps correctly in 1 min were labelled as competent. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Forty-one patients (24% women, 46 ± 5 years) came for the allergy examination 116 ± 145 days after receiving a prescription for EAI. When prescribing, the doctor or nurse explained the instructions for the use of EAI to 63.4% patients, and 31.7 patients practiced the use of EAI using a training device. At the pharmacy, 22% received explanation and 7% also practiced using a training device. Fifty-four percent of patients were able to effectively administer EAI adrenaline within 1 min. Higher education level was associated with sufficient knowledge about the use of EAI (<i>p</i> = 0.026). At the time of the visit to the allergy specialist clinic, 61% of patients had EAI with them. The shelf life of EAI was known to 63% of patients. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> The activities to increase the prescription rate of EAI immediately after treatment of anaphylactic episode are not sufficient to prevent severe outcome after the repeated episodes of anaphylaxis as nearly a half of patients are not able to use EAI correctly.
