We conducted an online survey of adult health care providers at Kaiser Permanente Northern California and semi-structured interviews with a subset of physicians. The survey assessed providers' ability to recognize autism spectrum disorder (ASD), asked them to rate their autism knowledge, comfort level in treating affected patients, and evaluated training and resource needs. 922 providers completed the survey (response rate 25.3 %), and 9 were interviewed by telephone regarding their autism training and experiences caring for patients with autism. Most providers reported lacking skills and tools to care for this adult patient population. A high proportion of adult providers were not aware that they had patients with ASD. These findings underscore the need to educate physicians caring for adults with ASD.
我们对北加利福尼亚凯撒医疗集团的成年医疗服务提供者进行了一项在线调查，并对一部分医生进行了半结构化访谈。该调查评估了医疗服务提供者识别自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的能力，要求他们对自己的自闭症知识、治疗自闭症患者时的舒适度进行评分，并评估培训和资源需求。922名医疗服务提供者完成了调查（回复率为25.3%），我们通过电话采访了其中9人，了解他们的自闭症培训情况以及照顾自闭症患者的经历。大多数医疗服务提供者表示缺乏照顾这一成年患者群体的技能和工具。很大一部分成年医疗服务提供者并未意识到他们有自闭症谱系障碍患者。这些发现凸显了对照顾成年自闭症谱系障碍患者的医生进行教育的必要性。
