Abstract

Identification and screening of patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) is important to prevent liver cancer. Comprehensive antiviral treatments should follow three sequential steps: Hepatitis screening (step 1; examination of HB surface antigen and HCV antibody), medical examination (step 2; examination of HBV‑DNA and/or HCV‑RNA and performance of abdominal ultrasonography) and antiviral treatment (step  3). Patients who underwent these three steps were studied to determine effective information sources (factors) for raising awareness of comprehensive treatments. A total of 182 patients from 11 medical institutions were who were undergoing antiviral treatment were investigated. The number of patients who accessed each of the 18 information sources in each of the three steps and the percentage of these information sources that directly influenced the participants to make treatment‑related decisions were calculated. ‘Recommendation from a primary care physician’ was the most common information source (64.3, 77.5, and 75.8% at steps 1, 2, and 3, respectively). ‘Recommendation from a public health nurse (PHN),’ ‘recommendation from friends or family,’ and ‘recommendation from work colleagues’ were the next most common human factors (3.3‑19.8%). ‘Recommendation from a primary care physician’ had the greatest influence (76.9, 73.0, and 77.5% at steps 1, 2, and 3, respectively). ‘Recommendation from a PHN’ (50.0, 26.3 and 64.3%), ‘recommendations from friends and family’ (58.3, 38.9 and 58.3%), and ‘recommendations from work colleagues’ (33.3, 33.3 and 42.9%) were highly influential factors. Media such as TV commercial messages and programs also had high recognition, but were not directly influential. The findings of the present study indicated that recommendations from primary care physicians, friends, family and work colleagues influenced patients' decision‑making regarding hepatitis screening, examination and treatment.
