National efforts are underway to prepare the UK National Health Service (NHS) for the COVID-19 pandemic; however, the efficacy of these interventions is unknown. In view of this, a cross-sectional survey of front-line healthcare workers (HCWs) at two large acute NHS hospital trusts in England was undertaken to assess their confidence and perceived level of preparedness for the virus. The survey found that there has been moderate success in readying HCWs to manage COVID-19, but that more still needs to be done, particularly in relation to educating HCWs about laboratory diagnostics.
目前,英国国家医疗服务体系(NHS)正在为应对 COVID-19 大流行做准备;然而,这些干预措施的效果尚不清楚。有鉴于此,对英格兰两家大型急性 NHS 医院信托的一线医护人员(HCWs)进行了横断面调查,以评估他们对该病毒的信心和准备程度。调查发现,在培训 HCWs 管理 COVID-19 方面已经取得了一定的成功,但仍有许多工作要做,特别是在教育 HCWs 有关实验室诊断方面。
