This study describes Veterans Affairs providers' perceived knowledge gaps for addressing COVID-19 concerns among Veterans generally and specifically among Veterans with a history of military exposures. A needs assessment was conducted through an online survey of 2,818 medical and behavioral health care providers. Results highlight the importance of ongoing education, even in topics for which providers endorsed adequate knowledge (eg, handwashing). Results also accentuated the need for educating providers about effectively communicating with patients regarding concerning medical topics when scientific data is scarce. Implications are discussed.
本研究描述了退伍军人事务部（VA）的医疗服务提供者对于处理退伍军人（包括有军事暴露史的退伍军人）的 COVID-19 相关问题的认知差距。通过对 2818 名医疗和行为健康护理服务提供者的在线调查进行了需求评估。研究结果突出了持续教育的重要性，即使在提供者认为自己已经有足够知识的主题上（例如，洗手）也是如此。研究结果还强调了需要教育提供者如何在科学数据有限的情况下，就令人担忧的医学话题与患者进行有效沟通。本文讨论了这些结果的意义。
