description | To assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis among medical staff at a tertiary hospital in China. A self-administered web-based survey was completed by medical staff, and data about respondent knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding VTE prophylaxis were gathered and analyzed with chi-square tests, using a 95% significance level. Of the 2079 medical staff invited to participate in the survey, a total of 2042 (including 921 clinicians and 1121 nurses) responded. The overall rate of correct responses to knowledge items was 57.6%; the rate was 60.1% for clinicians and 55.4% for nurses (P < .001). The median affirmative (“strongly agree”/“agree”) rate for attitude items was 99.0% (range, 83.2%-99.4%). Medical staff members were most commonly concerned about the possibility of a financial penalty when a patient could not be treated with VTE prophylaxis (49.4%). Low levels of knowledge and participation of medical staff were identified most commonly as difficulties involved in VTE prophylaxis (48.5%). The median affirmative response rate for practice items was 58.2% (range, 51.1%-68.3%). All affirmative response rates for practice items were significantly higher for nurses than for clinicians (all P < .001). Although the overall attitude toward VTE prophylaxis was positive, the knowledge level was poor, especially among nurses, and the rate of affirmative responses regarding practices was low, especially among clinicians. Medical institutions should improve staff training regarding VTE prophylaxis, and medical staff should be encouraged to actively engage in VTE prophylaxis. |
