This study sought to determine the awareness and attitude of doctors and nurses in a teaching hospital to skin donation and banking, and to identify needs for personnel educational programmes.
A cross sectional survey on doctors and nurses was carried out using a 44-item questionnaire that included a Likert scale on attitudes. Predictors of favourable attitudes were determined.
Eighty (49.7%) doctors and 81 (50.3%) nurses participated in the study. Many participants, 126 (78.3%), knew that skin could be donated, but only 96 (59.6%) participants were aware of skin banking. The main source of information was during professional training (17.4%). Only 41 (25.5%) participants were willing to donate skin after death. Body disfigurement was the major reason (20.5%) against skin donation. Participants who were doctors, were aware of skin banking, and who were previous blood donors had higher attitudes scores (p<0.001, p=0.004, p=0.007 respectively). Being a doctor and having heard of skin banking were predictors of favourable attitudes to skin donation and banking.
Knowledge transfer during health professional training on the usefulness of banked skin in patients with major burns may lead to improved attitude of health professionals and acceptance of this modality of burn management.
本研究旨在确定一家教学医院的医生和护士对皮肤捐赠和皮肤库的认知及态度，并确定人员教育计划的需求。
使用一份包含44个项目的问卷对医生和护士进行横断面调查，问卷包括一个关于态度的李克特量表。确定了积极态度的预测因素。
80名（49.7%）医生和81名（50.3%）护士参与了研究。许多参与者，126名（78.3%），知道皮肤可以捐赠，但只有96名（59.6%）参与者了解皮肤库。主要信息来源是在专业培训期间（17.4%）。只有41名（25.5%）参与者愿意在死后捐赠皮肤。身体毁容是反对皮肤捐赠的主要原因（20.5%）。是医生、了解皮肤库且以前是献血者的参与者态度得分更高（分别为p<0.001、p=0.004、p=0.007）。成为医生和听说过皮肤库是对皮肤捐赠和皮肤库持积极态度的预测因素。
在卫生专业培训期间就储存皮肤对严重烧伤患者的有用性进行知识传授，可能会改善卫生专业人员的态度，并接受这种烧伤管理方式。
