Abstract

Background and objectives: To evaluate the knowledge of the primary health care physicians (PHCP) in Kalubia governorate, Egypt, about the causes, diagnosis, complications, and treatment of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (NHB).

Methods: Cross-sectional survey distributed by interview to 500 physicians working in the primary health care (PHC) sector in Kalubia.

Results: Out of 500 distributed surveys, 419 (84%) PHCP completed the questionnaire. They represent 174 (90%) out of 193 PHC units and centers. About 18% were males and 82% females with mean age of 28.5 ± 5.2 years, and mean duration of work was 3.3 ± 4.4 years. All of the respondents have patients with NHB in their daily practice. The knowledge of the PHCP was good in some aspects about NHB; however, it was poor and may be even hazardous in other aspects.

Conclusions: Many areas of defects are detected in PHCP knowledge about NHB. Pre-service and continuous training of the PHCP about the diagnosis and management of NHB are essential.

初级保健医生对新生儿高胆红素血症的了解:单中心经验。

背景与目的:评价埃及卡鲁比亚省初级卫生保健医生(PHCP)对新生儿高胆红素血症(NHB)的病因、诊断、并发症和治疗的认识。方法:对卡鲁比亚初级卫生保健(PHC)部门工作的500名医生进行横断面调查。结果:在500份分布式调查中，419名(84%)PHCP完成了问卷调查。它们代表了193个初级保健单位和中心中的174个(90%)。男性占18%，女性占82%，平均年龄28.5±5.2岁，平均工作年限3.3±4.4年。所有受访者在日常执业中均有NHB患者。PHCP对NHB的某些方面了解较好;然而，它很差，甚至在其他方面可能是危险的。结论:在PHCP对NHB的认识中发现了许多方面的缺陷。初级保健医师的职前培训和持续培训是必不可少的，内容是关于NHB的诊断和管理。
