Abstract:
BACKGROUND:In this study, we sought to assess knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis among clinicians at a tertiary hospital of China. METHODS:An electronic questionnaire was sent to clinicians to gather information regarding demographic data (5 items), knowledge about VTE prophylaxis (21 items), behaviors regarding VTE prophylaxis (8 items), and attitudes regarding VTE prophylaxis (7 items). Answers of "strongly agree" and "agree" on the behaviors and attitude items were defined as affirmative responses. Clinicians were also asked to provide suggestions regarding VTE prophylaxis. RESULTS:A total of 867 clinicians were included in this study. The overall correct response rate for knowledge items was 60.9%. The median affirmative response rate for behavior items was 48.6% (range 29.5-80.3%), and the median affirmative response rate for attitude items was 98.7% (range 96.9-99.3%). Clinicians were most concerned about the adverse effects triggered by chemical VTE prophylaxis (79.5%) and possibility of a financial penalty when a patient could not be treated with VTE prophylaxis (72.3%). Low patient compliance and low level of clinician knowledge and participation were identified most commonly as difficulties involved in VTE prophylaxis. A total of 78 suggestions were collected; these suggestions generally focused on improving the quality and frequency of staff training (n = 24) and enhancing learning opportunities (n = 22). CONCLUSIONS:Although the clinicians' overall attitude toward VTE prophylaxis was positive, the knowledge level was relatively poor, and the rate of affirmative responses regarding behaviors was low. Medical institutions should improve clinician training regarding VTE prophylaxis.
