In Australia, over a third of individuals living with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) remain undiagnosed. Evidence suggests general practitioners (GPs) can be uncertain regarding whom to test. The aim of this study was to evaluate an educational resource for improving GPs' knowledge about whom to test for CHB.
Following a 2014 baseline survey that identified gaps in CHB knowledge among GPs in Victoria, an educational resource package was developed. Using a follow-up survey, the resource was evaluated by comparing the before-and-after CHB-related knowledge.
Sixty-five GPs responded to both the baseline and follow-up survey. Their knowledge of populations at high risk of CHB who require testing was significantly greater following the intervention than at baseline.
Concise, clear and practical resources can support GPs when identifying whom to test for hepatitis B.
在澳大利亚，超过三分之一的慢性乙型肝炎（CHB）患者未被诊断。有证据表明，全科医生（GP）对于应检测哪些人可能存在不确定性。本研究旨在评估一种教育资源，以提高 GP 对 CHB 检测对象的认识。
在 2014 年基线调查中，维多利亚州的 GP 对 CHB 相关知识存在差距，随后开发了一套教育资源包。通过后续调查，比较了干预前后的 CHB 相关知识，对资源进行了评估。
65 名 GP 对基线和后续调查都做出了回应。干预后，他们对需要检测的乙型肝炎高危人群的认识明显高于基线。
简洁、清晰、实用的资源可帮助 GP 确定检测乙型肝炎的对象。
