Assessing Knowledge & Attitude of Health Professionals Towards Anesthesia

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Misconceptions about anesthesia and anesthetists in the health professional community may limit anesthetists' participation in their roles. These misconceptions affect the morals of anesthetists since their activity will be limited only to operation theater and the community at large, who did not get the desired care. Improving health professionals' awareness of anesthesia will make it easier for anesthetists to practice their full role and to develop a sense of validation by having their importance acknowledged. Moreover, society will gate the care offered by the anesthetist in different places of medical care.

Clinical Trial Description

Data were collected using self-administered, pretested questionnaires prepared in english and then translated into amharic. The Amharic version of the questionnaire was assessed for compatibility with the english version by a group of people who converted it back to english and compared the converted versions. The questionnaire consists of three parts. The first part was about socio-demographic characteristics; the second part was about participants' knowledge about anesthesia; and the third part was about professionals' attitudes towards anesthesia. After informing each participant about the purpose of the study and obtaining informed consent, data collection began. After the questionnaires were filled out by the participants, the two trained data collectors compiled and checked the data for any conflicts that may have occurred during the data collection. The development and translation of the questionnaire was the most challenging task, and it was developed by both the anesthetists and anesthesiologists. The questionnaire was pre-tested on 25 randomly selected health professionals. After pre-testing, some questions were modified to make them more understandable. Attitude-related questions were answered as strongly agree, agree, disagree, strongly disagree, and none. the investigators prepared a total of 15 knowledge-related questions, of them 10 were closed-ended and could be scored objectively. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
