简要总结
Previous studies showed that the role of the anesthesiologist, their education and role within the hospital is not known by the general public. The lack of knowledge about anesthesia can be an important factor in patients' fear before the planned surgery and can therefore impact patient's general satisfaction. By means of a survey in patients planned for elective surgery, the investigators want to investigate the perception of patients regarding the anesthesiologist, their education and role within the hospital, the general knowledge of the patient regarding anesthesia and possible pre-operative fears and concerns.
详细描述
Introduction:
Previous studies, mainly performed in the USA and a few in Europe, showed that the role of the anesthesiologist, their education and role within the hospital is not known by the general public (1). Other studies questioned the expectations as well as fear of patients with respect to anesthesia (2). The lack of knowledge about the anesthesia can be an important factor in patients' fear before the planned surgery and can therefore impact patient's general satisfaction. While studies have been performed in several countries, not a single study as far as the investigators know, has been performed in Belgium. Given the fact that the anesthesiologist plays an important role during all stages of surgery (pre-, per-, post-operative), it is important to know how patients experience anesthesia and the role of the anesthesiologist. In this way, possible points of attention can be explored which can lead to a better patient satisfaction in the future.
Outcome measures:
With this study, the investigators want to investigate the perception of patients regarding the anesthesiologist, their education and role within the hospital, the general knowledge of the patient regarding anesthesia and possible pre-operative fears and concerns.
The investigators will determine these outcome measures by performing a survey (standardized questions) which will investigate the following 8 parts:
