Improving Erectile Dysfunction Management Among Asian Men With Diabetes Using the Knowledge Translation Intervention.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is frequently undermanaged due to communication barriers, particularly among Asian men. We looked at how ED discussion and treatment were affected by the patient's prompt sheet and the Knowledge Translation Tools in the Management of Erectile Dysfunction (LASTED).

Methods

We conducted a quasi-experimental study in a primary care clinic in Kedah, Malaysia involving 120 Asian men with diabetes. In the intervention group, patients were given a prompt sheet to indicate their intention to discuss or receive ED treatment, and physicians were provided with LASTED to assist with ED consultation. The control group patients received standard care from their physicians.

Results

The intervention increased the initiation of ED discussion up to 66.
