Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo investigate the knowledge level related to medical device adverse events (MDAEs) among medical personnels, some factors influencing the reporting behavior and supervision and administrative strategies.
METHODSStratified sampling, cluster sampling and random sampling were adopted together and a questionnaire survey was conducted among 1897 subjects from 33 hospitals.
RESULTSMedical personnels knew a very little about MDAEs and medical devices' post-market monitoring, but their attitudes towards its benefits were positive. Their intentions to report MDAEs were relatively strong, but there were still some barriers about it.
CONCLUSIONA monitoring system and a professional training model about MDAEs reporting should be established and improved in hospitals.
