Abstract: (1182 Views)
Introduction: Although more than two decades is passed from the discovery of H.pylori and its role in pathogenesis of upper GI disease, a uniform protocol for H.pylori treatment is not administrated yet. This research is conducted to evaluate knowledge, attitude and practice of physicians about H.pylori disease and treatment and its changes after reading a review article.
Materials and Methods: This is an interventional study. First we prepared a compact, review article for the purpose of teaching H.pylori pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment. Then thirty questions was brought out to evaluate knowledge, attitude and practice of the physicians about H.pilory diagnosis and treatment. After the first evaluations we gave our article to the physicians to study. One month later we repeated the evaluation with the same questionnaire. Data was analyzed by SPSS software.
Results: 304 physicians participated in this study. The mean evaluated knowledge was 49.64-58.75 with 95% confidence interval; which after education increased to 57.94-74.14 (p<0.05). Mean level of attitude and practice was 53.01-71.67 with 95% confidence interval. After studying it increased to 61.54-80.83 (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The first step of the study showed that test and treat is the protocol of choice for many physicians. After primary evaluation and introducing the compact article there was a noticeable change.
