Abstract

Background and Objectives

Autologous blood is the best choice for transfusion. This study was designed to evaluate knowledge and attitude of physicians about preoperative autologous donation (PAD) method and the role of training in its promotion.

Materials and Methods

Interventional Field study was conducted on 212 general practitioners and specialists in Hamedan city during Nov. 2009 to Oct. 2011. In the first step, the questionnaires of knowledge and attitude evaluation was filled out by the target group. Then, "face to face training" with the booklet was offered.

Results

Specialists more than general physicians tended to read the booklet (80.8% compared with 65%). The average score of general practitioners' knowledge increased from 4.74 ± 1.63 (before intervention) to 9.07 ± 2.1 (after intervention) and specialists' knowledge from 5.30 ± 1.97 to 9.65 ± 1.64 that was statistically significant in both groups (p < 0.001). In both groups, the mean score of attitude before and after intervention (regardless of the booklet having been read or not) was not significantly different; but in the group who had read the booklet, the mean score was significantly higher than the group who had not read the booklet (p < 0.05).

Conclusions

In the first step of this study, the knowledge and attitude of physicians about PAD method were very low and negative but the training intervention significantly increased the target group's knowledge; but the attitude change was obtained only in the group who had read the booklet beside being exposed to the face to face training.
