Abstract

Objectives: Italy often experiences major events, such as earthquakes, floods, and migrant shipwrecks. Current and future global challenges for health workers are made up by climate change, pandemics, and wars. In this work, we will assess the state-of-art of training and interest towards these challenges among Italian post-degree public health schools.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Italy in June 2023 among Italian public health residents. The study investigated training levels and updates regarding emergencies in Italian residencies. It also analyzed interest and importance of topic, impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and sources of information.

Results: Of 289 respondents, 86.2% deemed the topic important and 74.4% expressed interest. 90.1% pointed out the lack of dedicated courses and 93.1% of specialized master's programs. Perceived importance in the topic was associated with the desire to attend dedicated conferences. As for COVID-19, 24.6% recognized the importance of this topic pre-pandemic, while 50.9% raised awareness during the pandemic.

Conclusions: This survey shows the need for the offer of emergency training programs in Italian public health schools. Professionals in public health can make a great contribution to emergencies, not only in preparedness, but also in response and recovery phases.

准备好了没？意大利公共卫生医学住院医生的应急准备现状。

目标：意大利经常发生地震、洪水和移民沉船等重大事件。气候变化、大流行病和战争是当前和未来全球卫生工作者面临的挑战。在这项工作中，我们将评估意大利公共卫生研究生院的培训现状以及对这些挑战的兴趣：方法：我们于 2023 年 6 月在意大利对意大利公共卫生居民进行了一项横向调查。该研究调查了意大利住院医师的培训水平和有关紧急情况的最新情况。研究还分析了主题的兴趣和重要性、COVID-19 大流行的影响以及信息来源：结果：在 289 名受访者中，86.2% 的人认为该主题很重要，74.4% 的人表示感兴趣。90.1%的受访者指出缺乏专门的课程，93.1%的受访者指出缺乏专门的硕士课程。认为该主题重要与希望参加专门会议有关。至于 COVID-19，24.6% 的人在大流行前就认识到了这一主题的重要性，而 50.9% 的人在大流行期间提高了认识：这项调查表明，意大利公共卫生学校有必要开设应急培训课程。公共卫生专业人员不仅在准备阶段，而且在应对和恢复阶段都能为突发事件做出巨大贡献。
