This study assessed the knowledge, attitudes and practices of people with chronic HBV and the associated factors. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at an outpatient adult hepatology clinic at a tertiary hospital in Kuala Lumpur. A self-administered questionnaire was administered on a one-to-one basis to assess knowledge, attitudes, and lifestyle practices of people with chronic HBV. Results: The response rate was 89% (n = 483\/543). Participants had a mean age of 46.3 (+\/- 14.7) years and the mean duration of HBV from time of diagnosis was 12.2 (+\/- 8.8) years. The mean knowledge score was 12.57\/20 (standard deviation: +\/- 4.4, range: 0-19). Participants aged 30-39 years, with higher educational attainment, employed in professional jobs, longer duration of diagnosis and those without cirrhosis had significantly higher knowledge scores. Age, education level and duration of diagnosis were significant predictors of the knowledge score on standard multiple regression analysis. More than half of the participants were worried of spreading HBV infection to family and friends and worried since the diagnosis. A third of the participants (33.5%) were embarrassed to reveal their diagnosis to the public but most of them (93.6%) would inform their family. Those who reported feeling worried since their diagnosis were more likely to be middle-aged, of Malay ethnicity, have shorter duration of diagnosis of less than 10 years and have received therapy. About half of the participants (50.6%) did not share dining utensils and the majority (93.2%) believed that HBV can be transmitted by sharing of eating and drinking utensils. Older patients were significantly less likely to share utensils. Those who felt worried since diagnosis had significant higher knowledge of HBV. Conclusion: 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.","address":"","school":"","issn":"1471-2458","doi":"","isi":"","pubmed":"","key":"Mohamed2012","howpublished":":\/\/WOS:000312740000001","urllink":":\/\/WOS:000312740000001","refid":6} , {userid:"ngcj", "articletype":"article","pages":"","author":"R Mohamed, C J Ng, W T Tong, S Z Abidin, L P Wong, W Y Low","year":"2012","title":"Knowledge, attitudes and practices among people with chronic hepatitis B attending a hepatology clinic in Malaysia : A cross sectional study","month":"","journal":"Bmc Public Health","publisher":"","volume":"12","number":"","note":"ISI Document Delivery No.: 059XW xD;Times Cited: 0 xD;Cited Reference Count: 30 xD;Mohamed, Rosmawati Ng, Chirk Jenn Tong, Wen Ting Abidin, Suraya Zainol Wong, Li Ping Low, Wah Yun xD;University of Malaya [FR134\/2007A] xD;This study is supported by University of Malaya research grant FR134\/2007A.

It has been reported for sometime that locations in Jakarta are subsiding at different rates. Up to the present, there has been no comprehensive information about the characteristics and pattern of land subsidence in the Jakarta area. Usually land subsidence in Jakarta is measured using extensometers and ground water level observations, or estimated using geological and hydrological parameters. To give a better picture about land subsidence, geodetic-based monitoring systems utilizing leveling and GPS surveys have also been implemented.\r\nThe land subsidence characteristics of Jakarta and its surrounding area areinvestigated using data from three repeated leveling surveys performed in1982, 1991, and 1997, and two repeated GPS surveys conducted in 1997and 1999. Leveling surveys detected subsidence up to about 80 cm duringthe period of 1982\u20131991, and up to about 160 cm during the 1991\u20131997period; while GPS surveys observed subsidence up to about 20 cm duringthe period of 1997\u20131999. Comparison with the hydrological data shows thatland subsidence in Jakarta is strongly related to excessive groundwater extraction.","note":"","tags":""} , {userid:"faisal_rafiq.mahamd_adikan", "refid":54,"repocollections":"","attachment":"","_thumb":"","articletype":"article","sectionheading":"","title":"35-channel multiwavelength Brillouin-Erbium fiber laser utilizing fiber loop mirrors","year":"2005","author":"Al-Mansoori M.
