Objective
The overall use of Computed Tomography (CT) continues to grow inside the hospital. Despite CT imaging is a valuable diagnostic technique, the relatively high radiation doses associated with CT compared with conventional radiography have raised health concerns such as future cancer risk. We investigated the awareness level concerning radiation dose and possible risks associated with CT scans in medical personnel (MP).
Methods
and materials: This study was conducted from April to May 2012. Physicians and nurses who worked in emergency department of 17 training hospitals were enrolled in the survey. The questionnaire included the degree of CT scan or radiography affecting health using a 10 numerical rating scale, estimation of the radiation dose for the CT scan compared with one chest radiograph, and the perception of the increased lifetime cancer risk of CT scan.
Results
A total of 354 MP participated in this study. They included 142 nurses, 87 interns, 86 residents, and 39 specialists. Interns were less aware of CT scan or radiography affecting health than other physicians or nurses (4.8±2.7 vs. 5.9±2.7 vs. 6.1±2.7 vs. 6.0±2.2, interns vs. residents vs. faculties vs. nurses, respectively. mean (SD). p < 0.05). There was significant difference in the knowledge about the relative radiation dose of the CT scan for one chest radiograph between doctors and nurses (48.6% vs. 28.9%, doctors vs. nurses, p < 0.05). MPs perceived increased cancer risk from radiation of CT scan.
Conclusions
Medical personnels perceived the radiation risk associated with CT scan, but seems to be insufficient.

Objective

Patients with severe sepsis or septic shock require timely, aggressive management to improve their outcomes, and early presentation of patients to the hospital may also be important. Thus, public awareness about sepsis may be important for improved outcomes. However, there are no studies regarding the public awareness of sepsis in the general Korean population. Therefore, the objective of this survey was to gain insight into the public awareness of sepsis.

Methods

Prospective paper-based and web-based surveys were issued between May and June 2013 to adults aged ≥18 years.

Results

A total of 1,081 participants responded to the survey (394 paper-based and 687 web-based). Mean age was 38.7±11.4 years, and 541 participants (50%) were men. Of the 1,081 participants, 831 (76.9%) had heard of the term “sepsis.” Of these participants, only 295 (35%) responded correctly regarding the definition of sepsis. However, 1,019 participants (94.3%) had heard of acute myocardial infarction, and 817 of these (80%) correctly defined acute myocardial infarction. Regarding stroke, 1,047 (96.9%) had heard of stroke, and 975 of these responded (93.1%) correctly to the definition of stroke.

Conclusion

There is poor public awareness about sepsis compared with that of acute myocardial infarction and stroke. This may limit the timely management of severe sepsis and septic shock.
