Article Synopsis
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a condition caused by the compression of the median nerve in the wrist, leading to decreased quality of life and work productivity.
- A study in Tabuk City, Saudi Arabia found a 3.4% prevalence of CTS, with chronic diseases being a significant risk factor for its development.
- Participants generally had good knowledge about CTS, with females and younger individuals showing higher awareness of its causes, symptoms, and treatments.
Background: The provision of palliative care (PC) for individuals with a life-threatening condition is fundamental to the role of the physician, in order to improve quality of life; however, little research has assessed the competence of the physicians in PC in Saudi Arabia.
Aim: To conduct a baseline assessment of self-assessed palliative care competences among medical physicians in Saudi Arabia.
Design: A survey-based cross-sectional study was employed using a specifically designed questionnaire.
