SABA prescriptions and asthma management practices in patients treated by specialists in Taiwan: Results from the SABINA III study
2022, Journal of the Formosan Medical AssociationCitation Excerpt :One possible explanation for this finding is that all patients in this cohort were under specialist care, whereas the SABINA III cohort included a relatively high proportion of patients under primary care. In fact, results from a survey in Taiwan reported that a significantly higher proportion of specialists compared with primary care physicians would follow treatment guidelines for patient care (90.4% vs 63.2%).16 The purchase of SABA OTC is not permitted in Taiwan since SABA is a prescription drug per the regulations.
Mapping low-resource contexts to prepare for lung health interventions in four countries (FRESH AIR): a mixed-method study
2022, The Lancet Global HealthCitation Excerpt :We adapted the materials to each local setting. The quantitative questionnaires included demographic questions and were a compilation of existing validated questionnaires (the revised brief-Illness Perception Questionnaire, community member risk behaviour regarding cooking or heating and tobacco use, and health-care professional treatment behaviour).23–27 The questionnaires for community members and health-care professionals were tailored according to our preliminary qualitative findings and pilot-tested in each setting.19
Questionnaires used to assess barriers of clinical guideline use among physicians are not comprehensive, reliable, or valid: a scoping review
2017, Journal of Clinical EpidemiologyWhen you can't have the cake and eat it too. A study of medical doctors' priorities in complex choice situations
2012, Social Science and MedicineCitation Excerpt :These studies do not depict the relative importance of different concerns, but such qualitative studies nevertheless leave an impression that clinical effectiveness is generally much more important to doctors than cost containment and that the needs and preferences of the individual patient have become gradually more important over the last 30–40 years (e.g. Prosser & Walley, 2005). Additionally, we know little about how the characteristics of the doctor, such as sex, age and speciality, influence attitudes and the weight put on different factors in the daily trade-offs, but we find it interesting that a few survey studies suggest that, female doctors seem to put more weight on patients’ preferences (Krupat et al., 2000), and that GPs are more concerned with the individual patient’s needs and preferences and their own clinical experience than are hospital consultants (Carlsen & Bringedal, 2011; Yeh et al., 2006). There is a need, however, for studies that can address and quantify interrelations and give more insight into how doctors, more or less deliberately, are actually trading off different concerns when making clinical decisions.
Clinician Agreement, Self-Efficacy, and Adherence with the Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Asthma
2018, Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In PracticeCitation Excerpt :Although the lack of strong endorsement of guideline recommendations among primary care clinicians is notable, there were several key guideline recommendations that were not strongly endorsed by either group including the provision of a written asthma action plan. This result extends published data from several smaller studies and is in contrast to the evidence (grade B, small number of randomized controlled trials) that support use of treatment plans19-23 although their effectiveness when used by specialists has recently been questioned.24 In addition, neither of the clinician groups reported frequent use of asthma control assessment tools, and home peak flow assessment rates were especially low.
