Physician knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) regarding erectile dysfunction in Saudi Arabia were below standard. Male physicians and urologists showed better KAP, while higher qualifications correlated with lower scores.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Andrology
  • Cardiology
  • Medical Education

Background:

  • Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a prevalent condition affecting men's health.
  • Physician knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) are crucial for effective ED diagnosis and management.
  • Limited data exists on physician KAP regarding ED in Saudi Arabia.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) levels of physicians towards erectile dysfunction (ED).
  • To identify factors influencing physician KAP regarding ED in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 159 physicians from government and private sectors.
  • A 34-item questionnaire was administered privately at a scientific meeting on ED.

  • Data analysis focused on total KAP scores and demographic/professional correlations.

    • Main Results:

    • The overall mean KAP score was below the expected 60% standard.
    • Male physicians outperformed female physicians in KAP scores.
    • Urologists and andrologists demonstrated the highest KAP, while higher qualifications unexpectedly correlated with lower scores.
    • Physicians with over 10 years of practice scored higher than those with less experience.

    Conclusions:

    • Physician KAP regarding ED in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province requires significant improvement.
    • Targeted educational interventions may be necessary, particularly for physicians with higher qualifications and less experience.
    • The role of cardiologists in ED management warrants further investigation.
