Abstract
Objectives
This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) among anesthesia practitioners concerning perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND).
Methods
This cross-sectional study enrolled anesthesia practitioners from 18 hospitals in China using s self-administered questionnaire between July and September 2023.
Results
A total of 200 (98.04 %) valid questionnaire were enrolled, the responders of which aged 36.56 ± 8.24 years, including 130 (65 %) females. The mean KAP scores were 12.28 ± 3.78 (possible range: 0 20),29.22 ± 3.28 (possible range: 8-40), and 29.32 ± 4.30 (possible range: 8-40), respectively. The path analysis demonstrated that number of daily surgical cases (β = 0.82, p = 0.018), education (β = 1.49, p < 0.001), and participation in a related research project (β = 1.32, p = 0.003) had direct effects on knowledge. Working in teaching hospital has direct effect on attitude (β = 1.82, p = 0.027). Furthermore, knowledge (β = 0.29, p < 0.001) and attitude (β = 0.20, p = 0.026) also have direct effects on practice.
Conclusions
Anesthesia practitioners had inadequate knowledge, positive attitude, and proactive practice towards PND. Number of daily surgical cases, education, participation in a related research project, and working in teaching hospital might have effects on their KAP.
