INTRODUCTION: To identify the factors influencing changes in knowledge and experience of infectious disease prevention and control among physicians in Guangxis grassroots hospitals before and after the COVID-19 pandemic, thereby offering insights to enhance emergency response capabilities, disease prevention and control proficiency, and the overall effectiveness of grassroots medical institutions during epidemics.
METHODS: Utilizing random sampling, we conducted questionnaire surveys among primary care physicians from Guangxis primary medical institutions in June 2019 and October 2022, and analyzed the data with SPSS software.
RESULTS: Post-COVID-19, there was a significant increase in the scores for theoretical knowledge (77.10 ± 14.83 vs. 63.10 ± 15.11, p < 0.001) and understanding of infectious disease regulations (54.78 ± 15.94 vs. 50.85 ± 12.52, p = 0.001) among grassroots hospital physicians compared to pre-COVID-19 levels, albeit with room for further improvement. The participation rate in emergency treatment of infectious diseases rose to 63.51% after COVID-19, from 58.33% of physicians lacking infectious disease training before the pandemic, which decreased to 35.60% post-pandemic. Currently, "community family medical observation" is the most sought-after training content among Guangxis grassroots physicians (31.25%).
DISCUSSION: The capacity for infectious disease prevention and control among Guangxis grassroots hospital physicians has significantly improved following COVID-19. The high engagement in related training and emergency response efforts reflects a strong sense of professional identity and commitment. Ongoing, needs-based infectious disease training is recommended to ensure that grassroots medical staff can optimally contribute to the management of infectious disease emergencies.
