The purpose of this study was to determine self-reported knowledge, attitudes, prior experience, and perceived needs for the management of overweight and obese patients within a General Internal Medicine Practice.
An emailed cross-sectional survey was sent between June 20, 2019 and September 12, 2019 to 194 healthcare workers (93 primary care providers (PCPs) and 101 nurses) which focused on management of patients with weight issues.
In total, 80 of the eligible 194 participants completed the survey (nurses = 42, PCPs = 38). Up to 87% were white, 74.7% female (74.7%). Most of the responders were either in the age group of 30's (30%) or 50's (30%). Among the responders, 48.8% reported some type of specialty training in weight management since their medical training with lectures being the most common form of training (36%). When asked about their interest in either weight management training or strategies to initiate weight conversations, 79% of the respondents reported an interest in education on weight management or strategies to initiate weight conversations, while 65.8% indicated they would be interested in both topics.
Our study suggests that healthcare workers have a self-reported need for further training in management of overweight and obese patients, irrespective of previous training in this area.
本研究旨在确定在普通内科实践中，自我报告的超重和肥胖患者管理的知识、态度、先前经验和需求。
2019 年 6 月 20 日至 2019 年 9 月 12 日期间，向 194 名医疗保健工作者（93 名初级保健提供者（PCP）和 101 名护士）发送了一份关于管理体重问题患者的电子邮件横断面调查。
共有 194 名合格参与者中的 80 名完成了调查（护士=42，PCP=38）。高达 87%为白人，74.7%为女性（74.7%）。大多数应答者的年龄在 30 岁（30%）或 50 岁（30%）之间。在应答者中，48.8%报告在医学培训后接受过某种类型的体重管理专业培训，其中讲座是最常见的培训形式（36%）。当被问及他们对体重管理培训或发起体重对话的策略是否感兴趣时，79%的受访者表示对体重管理教育或发起体重对话的策略感兴趣，而 65.8%表示他们对这两个主题都感兴趣。
我们的研究表明，医疗保健工作者自我报告需要进一步接受超重和肥胖患者管理方面的培训，无论他们之前是否接受过这方面的培训。
