Abstract:
Objective To investigate the cognition on safe use of electrosurgical equipment in surgeons so as to provide references for carrying out targeted training for the future. Methods A total of 172 surgeons from a class three grade A general hospital of Beijing were recruited by convenience sampling in November 2015. The cognition on safe use of electrosurgical equipment was investigated with the self-designed questionnaire. Results The cognition situation on safe use of electrosurgical equipment in surgeons was at a medium level with the accuracy of (71.53±15.75) %. The highest accuracy was 75.52% in cognition on adverse events related to electrosurgical equipment. And the lowest accuracy was 66.98% in the part of polar and bipolar devices. Almost 80.81% of surgeons thought that they own insufficient usage knowledge and were willing to participate in further training. There were statistically significant differences in the accuracy of cognition on safe use of electrosurgical equipment in surgeons with different working life, positional titles and from different systems ( F=9.691, 5.460, 7.279;P<0.05).Conclusions Cognition level on safe use of electrosurgical equipment in surgeons needs to be improved. Training on safe use of electrosurgical equipment needs to be carried out accordingly for surgeons to improve security in clinic.
