Abstract

Purpose of the study

Climate change represents one of the gravest threats to health. Surgical activities mobilize a large number of resources which contribute to increased emission of CO2 and anesthetic gases in the environment. The objective of this study was to assess the level of knowledge of surgeons and the practical stances of healthcare establishments toward sustainable development.

Methods

This was a descriptive cross-sectional study, lasting 2 months. From 1 May 2021 to 30 June 2021, surgeons were asked via an online questionnaire to participate.

Results

A total of 131 out of the 457 contacted surgeons responded. A majority practiced in the private sector, 48.9% knew little about the rules of sustainable development in operating theaters, and 43.5% had an average level. The sustainable development charter was available in only 23% of establishments, while 19% had a sustainable development committee, and specific sustainable development actions were carried out in 27%.

Conclusion

The level of knowledge of surgeons in Île-de-France on sustainable development was low. In general, surgical units were not complying with the rules of good practice on CO₂ reduction. It is necessary to find strategies to reduce the impact of operating theaters on the environment.

法兰西岛大区外科医生的知识和医疗机构对可持续发展的实际立场：横断面研究。

研究目的气候变化是对健康最严重的威胁之一。外科手术活动调动了大量资源，导致二氧化碳和麻醉气体在环境中的排放量增加。本研究旨在评估外科医生的知识水平和医疗机构对可持续发展的实际立场：这是一项描述性横断面研究，为期 2 个月。从 2021 年 5 月 1 日到 2021 年 6 月 30 日，外科医生通过在线问卷被要求参与研究：结果：在 457 名联系过的外科医生中，共有 131 名做出了回应。大多数外科医生在私营部门执业，48.9%的外科医生对手术室的可持续发展规则知之甚少，43.5%的外科医生的了解程度一般。只有 23% 的机构有可持续发展章程，19% 的机构有可持续发展委员会，27% 的机构开展了具体的可持续发展行动：结论：法兰西岛外科医生对可持续发展的认识水平较低。结论：法兰西岛地区的外科医生对可持续发展的认识水平较低。总体而言，外科单位没有遵守减少二氧化碳排放的良好实践规则。有必要找到减少手术室对环境影响的策略。
