CUREUS JOURNAL OF MEDICAL SCIENCE(2023)
摘要
Background and aims: Surgical site infections (SSIs) are a significant contributor to mortality rates globally; therefore, to avoid these lethal complications, it is critical to incorporate patient safety and high-quality treatment approaches. This study aims to assess surgical physicians' awareness of SSIs and risks of wound infections in Makkah City, Saudi Arabia. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was performed among surgical physicians and interns in Makkah city hospitals through an online questionnaire from February 2023 to March 2023. Results: 122 surgical physicians were enrolled in the study. The age of the majority of participants was between 20 and 30 (52.5%). According to the data, 55.7% of respondents had fair knowledge. Conclusion: Only 4.1% of physicians had a good level of knowledge. Thus, we recommend Makkah hospitals offer academic sessions to surgical physicians about preventive measures for high-quality care of SSIs in order to raise their levels of awareness and knowledge.
