OBJECTIVES
To assess communities' basic knowledge of palliative care by developing a questionnaire.
METHODS
This prevalence study, an anonymous online questionnaire, was answered by 326 individuals living throughout Saudi Arabia over one month. The questions concerned the basic principles and knowledge of palliative care. We collected the data between February and May 2019.
RESULTS
The results showed that 72% of the respondents had neither heard nor knew about palliative care. Those who know about palliative care assess their knowledge as the following: 17.8% of the respondents reported that they knew the meaning and could explain it to others. As well, 10.5% knew the meaning but could not explain it to others; 9.3% had heard of it but did not know the meaning, and 62.4% had never heard of it.
CONCLUSION
The research showed that there is a lack of knowledge about palliative-care among the population of Saudi Arabia. Data shows that there should be more efforts toward providing the community with better knowledge about palliative care.
目的
通过开发问卷来评估社区对姑息治疗的基本知识。
方法
本研究为一项流行性病学研究，采用匿名在线问卷，在一个月内对沙特阿拉伯各地的 326 名个人进行了调查。问题涉及姑息治疗的基本原理和知识。我们于 2019 年 2 月至 5 月之间收集了数据。
结果
结果表明，72%的受访者既没有听说过也不知道姑息治疗。那些了解姑息治疗的人对自己的知识进行了如下评估：17.8%的受访者表示他们知道姑息治疗的含义并可以向他人解释；10.5%的人知道其含义但无法向他人解释；9.3%的人听说过但不知道其含义；62.4%的人从未听说过。
结论
研究表明，沙特阿拉伯民众对姑息治疗的知识匮乏。数据表明，应该做出更多努力，向社区提供更好的姑息治疗知识。
