Respondents were grouped according to employment sector/setting [public health, home health, and other including primary care, educational institutions, occupational health, etc.], title in nursing [RN, RN (EC), nurse practitioner (NP ], province/territory of employment, and number of years in practice.
Moreover, our findings raise questions about the purpose of prior consent for EC trials as practitioners' accounts indicate that this method cannot satisfy ethical and clinical practice guidelines on informed consent [ 6, 24, 30].
Research is also necessary to explore the views of parents who have been approached about EC trials to see if practitioners' perceptions and reports of families' responses to the different consent methods are echoed by families themselves.
A survey of family physicians and nurses (n = 78) in the USA found that practitioners who prescribed EC were more likely to agree that the benefits outweigh the risks (94%) than nonprescribers (50%) [ 22].
We aimed to examine the level of knowledge, attitudes and practices of medical practitioners in Indonesia about EC, in particular their attitudes to the availability of EC over-the-counter (OTC), using a questionnaire.
This study aimed to examine the level of knowledge, attitudes and practices of medical practitioners in Indonesia about EC, in particular their attitudes to the OTC availability of EC.
The final model, with Odds Ratios, can be seen in Table 4. EC: emergency contraception; GP: general practitioner, O&G: obstetrician and gynaecologist Many participants made comments about the use of EC in the final section of the questionnaire.
The ideas are then sent to the Executive Committee (EC), which has at least one practitioner-investigator representative from each region.
Those who had not used deferred consent described how parents can have a negative perception of EC clinical trials, which impacted upon the parent-practitioner relationship by making practitioners feel uncomfortable in interactions that took place after approaching parents about a trial [ 7].
This survey also revealed that EC was prescribed infrequently by Indonesian medical practitioners.
