About this study
Official title: Knowledge, Attitude, Practices and Barriersof General Practitioner RegardingHelicobacter Pylori Diagnosis andTreatment
This study aims to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and clinical practices of general practitioners regarding the diagnosis and treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection. The study also seeks to identify the main barriers that prevent proper management of the condition. The central hypothesis is that gaps in knowledge and challenges in clinical practice contribute to variations in how general practitioners diagnose and treat H. pylori infection.
Read the detailed description
This study explores the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of general practitioners regarding the diagnosis and treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection. It also examines the barriers that may affect appropriate clinical decision-making in managing this common gastrointestinal condition. By assessing physicians' understanding of recommended diagnostic techniques, treatment regimens, and follow-up strategies, the study aims to identify areas where education or system-level improvements may be needed.
The study hypothesizes that insufficient knowledge of current guidelines, limited access to diagnostic tests, and patient-related or system-related barriers contribute to inconsistent management of H. pylori infection among general practitioners. The findings may help inform future training programs and improve patient care outcomes.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Demographic , knowledge , Practices , attitude and barriers | Section A: demographic data (age, gender, years of experience, workplace) Section B: knowledge (transmission, symptoms, diagnostic methods,. treatment guidelines) Section C: attitude (perceived importance, confidence in diagnosis/treatment) Section D: practice (frequency of testing, treatment regimen used). Section E: barriers (e.g., Lack of resources, guidelines, time constraints, patient adherence) |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Knowledge
Level of knowledge about H. pylori infection among General Practitioners" "Measured using a questionnaire of X items (e.g., 15 multiple-choice questions). The total knowledge score will be calculated as the percentage of correct answers."
Measured: After history and examination by 1 hour.
Attitudes
Attitudes of General Practitioners towards diagnosis and treatment of H. pylori infection" "Measured using an X-point Likert scale (e.g., 5-point) on Y items (e.g., 10 statements). A mean score will be calculated for each participant."
Measured: After history and examination by 1 hour.
Practices
Clinical practices of General Practitioners in managing H. pylori infection" "Measured using questions regarding frequency of testing and types of treatment regimens prescribed. Percentages for each practice will be calculated."
Measured: After history and examination by 1 hour.
Perceived Barriers
Barriers reported by General Practitioners in diagnosing and treating H. pylori infection" "Measured using a checklist or Likert scale containing specific barriers (e.g., lack of resources, time constraints, guideline clarity). Frequencies or scores for each barrier will be calculated."
Measured: After history and examination by 1 hour.
