Abstract
Purpose of the study is to analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on health care professionals’ perceptions of adequate knowledge of COVID-19 through a cross-sectional online survey. Given that otorhinolaryngologists are among those who are at constant risk of infection, research in this area will help understand the psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, ensure safe and optimal working conditions for health workers in general and for otorhinolaryngologists in particular. Materials and methods. The analytical cohort for the study was 269. Results. In general, all groups of health professionals were positive about awareness, most respondents agree that they have complete information about COVID-19. 25,2% of the respondents replied that they did not require any additional detail beyond what is necessary; a little more, 33% of respondents noted the opposite answer, indicating the need for maximum detail about COVID-19. In the group of health workers who contacted patients with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19, more people needed more information in a group of health care professionals in contact with patients with confirmed COVID-19 than those without contact – 48,65% vs. 27,4%. In the group of noncontacting health care providers, the number of those who agree with the statement that the medical organization provided clear information about COVID-19 was slightly higher (about 88%); among those in contact, this proportion was lower (about 80%).
