| Popis: | Objectives This study aim to evaluate patient's perception about anesthesiologists' job roles and investigate their expectations for anesthesia care. Methods We designed a self-administered questionnaire for this cross-sectional survey study and delivered questionnaire forms to adult in-patients who were scheduled for elective surgery before pre-operative anesthetic visit the day before surgery. We collected information of respondents' demographic data, education background, health literacy and previous experience of anesthesia, perception of anesthesiologist's job, the expectation on anesthesia care. Descriptive analyses, χ2 test and multiple linear regression analysis were used for data analysis. Results Of 550 participants, 521 (94.7%) completed the questionnaire. In these respondents, 335 (64.3%) considered anesthesiology as an independent medical discipline, 225 (43.2%) believed that anesthesiology department was an independent clinical department, and 243 (46.6%) recognized anesthesiologists as qualified doctors. Only 21.5% of them knew that anesthesiologists also work in the intensive care unit and 26.9% of them knew that anesthesiologists also work in pain clinic as well. Younger patients (β=-0.044, P Conclusions Patients' perception about anesthesiologists might be limited.
