摘要
背景：在印度，灾害心理健康是一个关键但被忽视的方面。初级保健医生（pcp）在减轻灾害后心理健康挑战方面发挥着至关重要的作用。本研究对卡纳塔克邦pcp进行了知识、态度和实践（KAP）调查，以评估其灾害心理健康准备情况。方法：采用滚雪球抽样法，于2023年2月至5月对卡纳塔克邦29个县的基层医疗服务人员进行横断面在线调查。问卷审查包括灾害心理保健的KAP问题。共有324家pcp作出回应。结果：知识得分一般（平均7.05分），态度得分一般（平均9.15分），行为得分一般（平均0.32分）。临床经验与知识/态度/行为有显著相关(rho 0.358, P < 0.001；rho 0.147, P = 0.007；rho 0.232, P = 0.003)。结论：灾害心理健康的理论知识与实际准备存在较大差距。培训计划和政府举措对于改善pcp的准备工作至关重要。
Assessing disaster mental health preparedness among primary health care physicians of Karnataka, India: Designing and conducting a knowledge, attitude, and practice survey.
Background: Disaster mental health is a critical yet neglected aspect in India. Primary care physicians (PCPs) play a crucial role in mitigating mental health challenges following disasters. This study conducted a knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) survey among PCPs in Karnataka to assess their disaster mental health preparedness.
Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted from February to May 2023 targeting PCPs across 29 districts of Karnataka in a convenient snowball sampling method. The questionnaire review included KAP questions on disaster mental healthcare. A total of 324 PCPs responded.
Results: Knowledge scores were moderate (mean: 7.05), attitudes were positive (mean: 9.15), and practices were poor (mean: 0.32). Significant correlations were found between clinical experience and knowledge/attitudes/practices (rho 0.358, P < 0.001; rho 0.147, P = 0.007; rho 0.232, P = 0.003).
Conclusion: There is a large gap between theoretical knowledge and practical preparedness in disaster mental health. Training programs and government initiatives are essential to improve preparedness among PCPs.
