Survey and analysis of the current status of health science popularization work among medical staff in municipal grade a tertiary public hospitals in a certain region
Objective To understand the current status and existing problems of health science popular-ization work conducted by medical staff in municipal grade A tertiary public hospitals in a certain region,and to propose suggestions for improving their health science popularization services.Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted among 411 medical staff from four municipal grade A tertiary hospitals in a city.Rele-vant results were obtained through statistical analysis,and interviews were used to discuss the findings.Re-sults Among the 411 medical staff,over 60.00%believed that health science popularization work was very important;80.54%conducted health science popularization work in their daily routine.However,only 14.84%and 20.44%"often"(10-20 times per month)and"always"(more than 20 times per month)engaged in health science popularization work,respectively.There were statistically significant differences in the frequen-cy of health science popularization work among medical staff of different ages and medical titles(P<0.05).In terms of the types of health science popularization,the most common was health education or promotion dur-ing clinical diagnosis and treatment(86.1%),while only 34.14%of the work was conducted through internet platforms.In terms of overall evaluation of health science popularization work,over 80.00%of the medical staff considered it to be"quite good"or"very good".The main factors constraining medical staff from conduc-ting health science popularization work were insufficient time due to heavy workloads,lack of health science popularization capabilities,lack of incentive mechanisms,and scarcity of relevant materials and platforms for health science popularization.Conclusion Currently,the health science popularization capabilities of medical staff lag behind the development of the times,and their participation in health science popularization work needs to be improved.Additionally,hospitals lack sufficient support for health science popularization work.
