Evaluating the Process and Outcome of a Primary Care Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) Programme
Transmission Patterns and Factors Influencing High Incidence of Leprosy among Indigenous Penan in Sarawak, Malaysia
Defining Malaysia's health research ethics system through a stakeholder driven approach
The need to understand the systems that support ethical health research has long been recognized, but there are limited descriptions of actual health research ethics (HRE) systems. Using participatory network mapping methods, we empirically defined Malaysia's HRE system. 13 Malaysian stakeholders identified 4 overarching and 25 specific HRE system functions and 35 actors internal and 3 external to the Malaysian HRE system responsible for those fu…
Co-designing multi-morbid care
Introduction: Co-design can help realise patient-centredness in healthcare by partnering with patients and other stakeholders to redesign services or care pathways with their needs in mind. However, what remains unknown is whether co-designed interventions for multimorbidity offer superior benefits to usual care. Methods: We conducted a systematic review to (a) identify examples of co-designed health interventions for multi-morbid patients and in…
Prevalence and healthcare utilization in managing herpes zoster in primary care
Herpes zoster (HZ) causes significant morbidity, particularly in older adults. With the advent of a recombinant zoster vaccine, HZ is potentially preventable. However, data on HZ burden and healthcare utilization in primary care populations remains scarce. This study described the prevalence and healthcare utilization in managing HZ in a developed community. A retrospective database review was conducted across a cluster of 8 public primary care c…
Utility and usability evaluation of an information diary tool to measure health information access and exposure among patients with high cardiovascular risk
Background: Online health misinformation about statins potentially affects health decision-making on statin use and adherence. We developed an information diary platform (IDP) to measure topic-specific health information exposure where participants record what information they encounter. We evaluated the utility and usability of the smartphone diary from the participants' perspective. Methods: We used a mixed-method design to evaluate how partici…
Developing a competency framework for health research ethics education and training
Health research ethics (HRE) training programmes are being developed and implemented globally, often with a goal of increasing local capacity to assure ethical conduct in health-related research. Yet what it means for there to be sufficient HRE capacity is not well-defined, and there is currently no consensus on outcomes that HRE training programmes should collectively intend to achieve. Without defining the expected outcomes, meaningful evaluati…
Barriers of and strategies for shared decision‐making implementation in the care of metastatic breast cancer
BACKGROUND: Shared decision-making has been shown to improve the quality of life in metastatic breast cancer patients in high-literacy and high-resource settings. However, limited studies have examined the cultural preferences of metastatic breast cancer patients with shared decision-making implementation and the barriers encountered in an Asian setting where societal norms predominate and physician decision-making is at the forefront. This paper…
Health literacy experiences of multi‐ethnic patients and their health‐care providers in the management of type 2 diabetes in Malaysia
BACKGROUND: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) require adequate health literacy to understand the disease and learn self-management skills to optimize their health. However, the prevalence of limited health literacy is high in patients with T2DM, especially in Asian countries. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore experiences related to health literacy in Asian patients with T2DM. DESIGN: This is a qualitative study using in-depth int…
Is family history still underutilised? Exploring the views and experiences of primary care doctors in Malaysia
Population indices measuring health outcomes
BACKGROUND: Population health indices such as disability adjusted life years (DALY) and quality adjusted life years (QALY) are often used in an effort to measure health of populations and identify areas of concern that require interventions. There has been an increase of number of population health indices since the last review published more than a decade ago. Therefore, this study aims to provide an overview of existing population health indice…
Mismatch between health‐care professionals' and patients' views on a diabetes patient decision aid
BACKGROUND: Malaysia is an Asian country with population of diverse culture and health perceptions. Patient decision aid (PDA) is a new tool in Malaysia. Patients' and health-care professionals' (HCPs) expectation of a PDA is unknown. AIM: We aimed to explore patients' and health-care professionals'(HCPs) views on the information needed in a patient decision aid (PDA) on insulin initiation developed for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D…
Barriers and facilitators to health screening in men
How can insulin initiation delivery in a dual-sector health system be optimised? A qualitative study on healthcare professionals’ views
The challenges faced by a dual-sector health system in delivering insulin initiation may be addressed by greater collaborations between the private and public sectors and governmental and non-government organisations, and among different healthcare professionals
Knowledge, attitudes and practices among people with chronic hepatitis B attending a hepatology clinic in Malaysia
The findings highlight the stigma and misconceptions that still exist among the HBV patients. More patient and public education about HBV and its prevention are essential to increase awareness and to demystify the disease
