Abstract

Objective: Medical students are demanders and future suppliers of antibiotic use. Understanding their knowledge, attitude and practice is important for appropriately using antibiotics and controlling antibiotic resistance. The objective of this study was to assess the measurement properties of existed instruments and summarize measurement items and results. Methods: Five English and Chinese databases were searched to comprehensively identify related studies between January 2000 and May 2023. Included instruments were assessed using consensus‐based standards for the selection of health measurement instruments checklist. Descriptive tables and narrative texts were applied to summary the data. Results: Of 3524 studies identified, 25 were finally included, from which 22 measurement instruments were included. Of these, 14 instruments were found with adequate content validity, only one study reported structural validation process and two studies reported reliability test results. Similar items were divided into different dimensions in different studies. Gaps and misconceptions in knowledge and attitude were indicated in antibiotic use principles, including antibiotic use indications and selection. Conclusions: Limitations existed in the current measurement instrument including lacking validation, inconsistent classification of item and lacking item regarding the perspective of suppliers. Scientific tools for objective and accurate measure are needed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: A supplementary chapter on the diagnostic patterns of Traditional Medicine, including Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), was introduced into the latest edition of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11). However, evidence-based rules are yet to be developed for pattern differentiation in patients with specific conventional medicine diagnoses. Without such standardised rules, the level of diagnostic agreement amongst practitioners is unsatisfactory. This may reduce the reliability of practice and the generalisability of clinical research. Purpose: Using cross-sectional study data from patients with functional dyspepsia, we reviewed and illustrated a quantitative approach that combines TCM expertise and computer algorithmic capacity, namely latent tree analysis (LTA), to establish score-based pattern differentiation rules. Review of methods: LTA consists of six major steps: (i) the development of a TCM clinical feature questionnaire; (ii) statistical pattern discovery; (iii) statistical pattern interpretation; (iv) TCM diagnostic pattern identification; (v) TCM diagnostic pattern quantification; and (vi) TCM diagnostic pattern differentiation. Step (i) involves the development of a comprehensive questionnaire covering all essential TCM clinical features of the disease of interest via a systematic review. Step (ii) to (iv) required input from TCM experts, with the algorithmic capacity provided by Lantern, a dedicated software for TCM LTA. Motivational example to illustrate the methods: LTA is used to quantify the diagnostic importance of various clinical features in each TCM diagnostic pattern in terms of mutual information and cumulative information coverage. LTA is also capable of deriving score-based differentiation rules for each TCM diagnostic pattern, with each clinical feature being provided with a numerical score for its presence. Subsequently, a summative threshold is generated to allow pattern differentiation. If the total score of

Abstract

Objective: To synthesize evidence on the effectiveness of acupuncture and related therapies for primary carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) by conducting a systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Data Sources: Nine databases were searched for potential RCTs from their inception till July 2019. Review Methods: RCTs which reported at least one of the three outcomes were included: symptom severity, functional status and pain. Included RCTs were appraised using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool. Results: A total of 10 RCTs (728 participants) were included. Majority were at high risk of bias for blinding of participants, personnel and outcome assessors. When compared to conventional medications, manual acupuncture showed significant superior effect in reducing symptom than ibuprofen (mean difference (MD) on Symptom Severity Scale (SSS)) = –5.80, 95% confidence interval (CI): −7.95 to −3.65) and prednisolone (MD = −6.50, 95% CI: −10.1, −2.86). Electroacupuncture plus splinting was more effective in reducing symptom severity than splinting alone (SSS score: MD = −0.20, 95% CI: −0.36 to −0.03). Manual acupuncture showed significantly superior effect than ibuprofen in improving functional status (Functional Status Scale (FSS): MD = −1.84, 95% CI: −2.66 to −1.02). The combination of electroacupuncture and splinting showed more improvement in functional status compared to splinting alone (FSS: MD = −6.22, 95%CI: −10.7 to −1.71). Triple treatment of acupuncture, magnetic spectrum heat lamp and splinting showed stronger pain relief than splinting alone. Conclusion: For both symptom relief and function improvement, manual acupuncture is superior to ibuprofen while electroacupuncture plus splinting outperforms splinting alone. Limited evidence showed electroacupuncture's potential role in pain reduction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

WHO Traditional Medicine Strategy 2014-23 recommended evidence-based healthcare (EBHC) education for traditional and complementary medicine (T&CM) professionals, including Chinese medicine practitioners (CMPs). We evaluated the impact of a customized educational workshop on Hong Kong CMPs’ knowledge, attitude and practice of EBHC. Two validated instruments, Evidence-based Practice Questionnaire (EPQ) and Evidence-based Practice Inventory (EPI), were used to assess the impact of EBHC education. Paired t-tests were used to compare scores before and after the workshop. Multiple linear regression was performed to explore the associations between changes in EPQ/EPI scores and CMPs’ characteristics. CMPs who completed the workshop (n = 59) demonstrated significant improvements in the attitude (p = 0.013) and knowledge domains of the EPQ (p = 0.005). Significant improvements were also observed in the attitude, perceived behavioural control, decision making, and intention and behaviour domains of the EPI. CMPs who had never received prior EBHC training showed a larger magnitude of improvement in the EPI attitude (p = 0.032), decision making (p = 0.015), and intention and behaviour (p = 0.015) domains post-workshop. Our findings suggest that tailored workshop is effective in strengthening knowledge and in improving attitudes towards EBHC. Future RCTs should be conducted to affirm our findings. Future initiatives may consider incorporating this education approach into CMP curricula, as well as facilitating implementation of EBHC in routine Chinese medicine practice. Refereed/Peer-reviewed
