Abstract:
Objective To explore the hospital ship crew's awareness of infectious diseases-related knowledge, and to propose training plans accordingly.Methods Totally 75 non-medical crew members working on the hospital ship between November and December 2013 were selected as respondents by convenience sampling, and were investigated with self-designed questionnaires.Results A total of 54 out of 75 crew members (72.0%) worked for medical support on the hospital ship for less than 2 years. Only 3 of them (4.0%) had systematically learned knowledge related to infectious diseases. 88.0% of the crew members needed training to learn relevant knowledge. The average rate of unawareness of basic theoretical knowledge about infectious diseases was 63.2%, that of prevention and protection knowledge was 90.0%, that of sterilizing and isolating techniques was 60.7%, that of professional exposure-related knowledge was 71.6%, and that of professional safety prevention and protection skills was 50.3%.Conclusions The training of knowledge and skills related to infectious diseases for the hospital ship crew is of significance, which will not only secure the subjects of rescue, but also protect themselves against infectious diseases and make sure that their mission of offshore medical support can be completed successfully.
