To identify the population's knowledge of the terms "sepsis" and "acute myocardial infarction" (AMI).
Cross-sectional quantitative study. Data was collected through the application of a questionnaire to two groups of participants, as follows: individuals who visit parks in Porto Alegre, State of Rio Grande do Sul and companions of patients of a university hospital in Porto Alegre. Analysis of the results was performed by descriptive and inferential statistics. RESULTSThe sample consisted of 1,986 respondents: 1,455 parkgoers and 531 companions of patients admitted to the hospital. Regarding the knowledge of sepsis, only 19.1% of the respondents had already heard about the subject. However, compared to knowledge about AMI, it was found that 98.7% knew the term.
The study found that the scarce knowledge of the population about the term "sepsis" is related to the social level of the respondents, demonstrating poor access to information about health care.
了解人群对“脓毒症”和“急性心肌梗死”(AMI)这两个术语的知晓情况。
横断面定量研究。通过向两组参与者发放问卷收集数据,具体如下:巴西南部里奥格兰德州阿雷格里港公园的游客以及阿雷格里港一家大学医院患者的陪同人员。采用描述性和推断性统计方法对结果进行分析。结果样本包括1986名受访者:1455名公园游客和531名住院患者的陪同人员。关于脓毒症的知晓情况,只有19.1%的受访者曾听说过该主题。然而,与对AMI的知晓情况相比,发现98.7%的人知道这个术语。
研究发现,人群对“脓毒症”一词的了解匮乏与受访者的社会阶层有关,表明获取医疗保健信息的机会较差。
