Abstract

Background: The prevalence of middle ear inflammation in West Java is still relatively high. General practitioners are at the forefront who see and treat the patients directly; thus, the number of cases can be reduced by increasing the competence of general practitioners. This study aimed to determine the level of knowledge, attitude, and practices of general practitioners in West Java towards middle ear inflammation, as an evaluation for improving health services in the community.Methods: This research was a descriptive study with a questionnaire conducted in August–December 2021 conducted online with a probability sampling technique of at least 368 general practitioners in West Java. The level of knowledge, attitude, and practices were calculated using the Guttman scale. The data were presented as a frequency distribution.Results: The results showed that the majority of the general practitioners still had poor knowledge of middle ear inflammation (n=325; 84.6%) as well as the attitude (n=333; 86.7%) and the level of practice (n=340; 88.5%).Conclusions: The level of knowledge, attitude, and practices of general practitioners in West Java towards middle ear inflammation is poor. Special interventions and approaches are needed to improve the competence of general practitioners in West Java based on the Standard Competency of Indonesian Doctors.

Abstract

Background: Hearing loss and deafness are still an issue in Indonesia, especially in West Java, with a prevalence of 2.5% and 0.06%, respectively. Cochlear implants are intended for patients with severe sensorineural hearing loss to stimulate the remaining auditory nerves. Based on their competency standards, Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (ORL-HNS) Specialists are expected to be able to inform patients and families about the cochlear implantation procedures. This study aimed to explore the level of knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of ORL-HNS Specialists in West Java towards cochlear implants.Methods: This study was a descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach. Primary data were collected through a questionnaire filled out by ORL-HNS Specialists who were actively working in West Java in 2021–2022.Results: Data from 157 specialists showed that 41.4% (n=65) had good knowledge about cochlear implants, and 43.9% (n=69) had adequate knowledge, however, 62.4% (n=98) showed a negative attitude. In addition, 99.3% (n=156) showed good behavior.Conclusions: ORL-HNS Specialists in West Java have a sufficient level of knowledge, negative attitude, and good behavior towards cochlear Implants. The negative attitude of the specialists need to be bettered, updating their knowledge about how cochlear implants work and their effectiveness for patients with hearing impairments might give them a new perspective and hopefully change their attitude towards cochlear implants.
