Abstract
With the propofol-induced accident such as adverse effects, abuse, death is becoming to the fore as a social issue, there is an increasingly loud call for self-examination about excessive propofol use. The purpose of this study was to identify the knowledge, attitudes and practices in health care professionals and awareness in the public toward propofol. Participants in this study were 359 health care professionals, and 682 publics who is going to undergo endoscopy. The collected data was analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe for knowledge, attitude, and practice toward propofol in health care professionals, Pearson Correlation for its correlation. and frequencies, %, mean for others. Scores of knowledge, attitudes, and practices were 7.16 (11), 3.26 (5), 3.95 (5) respectively. Nurses' attitudes toward propofol was much more higher than doctors', doctors' practice toward propofol was higher than nurses'. There was a correlation among knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward propofol. 53.4% of the publics answered that never heard what is propofol. Considering these results, regular customized and standardized-education strategies for both groups need to be developed for the purpose of proper use and management of propofol.
