The Saudi Vision 2030 aims to implement healthcare transformation in order to effectively address advancements in technology and fulfil the needs of patients and the entire community. It encompasses the strategic advancement and development of the healthcare sector for the overall progress and prosperity of the kingdom. The adoption of an electronic health system in accordance with Saudi Vision 2030 can enhance the quality and availability of healthcare services. Therefore, it is crucial to comprehend the awareness and attitude of PHPs towards the transformation of health care in order to support the process. The aim of this study is to assess knowledge and attitude regarding healthcare transformation of primary healthcare physicians (PHPs) in Health Cluster 2 (C2) in Riyadh City, Saudi Arabia.
A cross-sectional study was conducted on 185 PHP who fulfill the selection criteria using a self-administrated validated questionnaire. The collected data were coded and analyzed using SPSS version 25.
The majority were aged less than 35 years 148 (80%), and more than one-half were males (58.4%). The overall level of awareness was high among only 37.3% of physicians, whereas 62.7% had a low awareness level. There were two factors that only had significant correlations with awareness levels and they were age ( = 0.006) and type of service ( = 0.0001).
Primary physicians had a low level of awareness regarding health transformation demonstrating that primary physicians are required to increase their awareness as they have an integral role in health transformation.
《沙特2030愿景》旨在实施医疗保健转型，以有效应对技术进步，满足患者和整个社区的需求。它涵盖了医疗保健部门的战略推进和发展，以实现沙特王国的整体进步和繁荣。根据《沙特2030愿景》采用电子健康系统可以提高医疗服务的质量和可及性。因此，了解初级保健医生（PHPs）对医疗保健转型的认识和态度对于支持这一进程至关重要。本研究的目的是评估沙特阿拉伯利雅得市第2健康集群（C2）的初级保健医生（PHPs）对医疗保健转型的知识和态度。
使用经过验证的自填式问卷对185名符合选择标准的初级保健医生进行了横断面研究。收集的数据使用SPSS 25版进行编码和分析。
大多数人年龄小于35岁，有148人（80%），超过一半是男性（58.4%）。只有37.3%的医生总体认识水平较高，而62.7%的医生认识水平较低。有两个因素仅与认识水平有显著相关性，即年龄（=0.006）和服务类型（=0.0001）。
初级保健医生对健康转型的认识水平较低，这表明初级保健医生需要提高认识，因为他们在健康转型中起着不可或缺的作用。
