Sumario:OBJECTIVE: The study aim was to evaluate the knowledge and attitudes of hospital health personnel toward translational medicine. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional survey from July 2013 to September 2013 with a representative sample of 1690 health personnel from 13 large comprehensive or specialized hospitals in Shanghai, China. RESULTS: The results showed that awareness of and attitudes toward translational medicine significantly differed by gender, age, highest level of education, profession, and professional rank. Health personnel showed a highly positive attitude toward translational medicine; however, their knowledge of translational medicine was low. CONCLUSION: Effective measures are needed to improve health personnel’s awareness of and attitudes toward translational medicine.
