The Determinants to Effective Diagnosis and Management of Otitis Media in Aboriginal Children in Primary Care From the Perspective of Health Care Practitioners

All barriers could potentially be overcome through a programme that enhances theoretical knowledge and practical skills in paediatric ear examination, otoscopy, and safe, timely removal of earwax, improved communication with ENT specialists, and an expanded clinical role for AHPs. Our findings carry important implications for managing OM in primary care services across Australia.

Abstract

All barriers could potentially be overcome through a programme that enhances theoretical knowledge and practical skills in paediatric ear examination, otoscopy, and safe, timely removal of earwax, improved communication with ENT specialists, and an expanded clinical role for AHPs. Our findings carry important implications for managing OM in primary care services across Australia.
