Official title: Assessment of Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice of Primary Care Physicians Regarding Common Dermatologic Conditions in Sudan 2024: A Cross Sectional Study

The goal of this observational study is to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice of primary care physicians regarding the common dermatologic conditions in Sudan. The main question it aims to answer is:

Read the detailed description

Dermatological conditions represent a major global health burden and significant portion of primary healthcare visits. Primary healthcare physicians are the backbone of medical care and they are usually the first responders to deal with skin diseases. Therefore, it is essential for primary care doctors to possess the sufficient knowledge and the best practice to achieve the best possible outcomes. Assessing the knowledge, attitude and practice of doctors will help identify the areas of weakness and address the gaps.

Our online based cross-sectional study involved primary healthcare doctors across the 18 states of Sudan. The study utilized multistage sampling to select the participants to fill the online questionnaire that is intended to assess the knowledge of the participants using a photo quiz, the attitude using likert's scale based assessment and the practice.

the study explored the factors which may affect the knowledge attitude and practice of doctors like the age, sex, years of clinical experience, and number of cases seen per day.
