National survey on Congenital Cytomegalovirus Awareness and Screening Practices among Healthcare Professionals
Objectives
Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection, resulting from maternal-fetal transmission of CMV, poses a substantial risk to maternal and child health. It is the most prevalent congenital viral infection, and the prevention and management of this condition rely heavily on the knowledge and awareness of healthcare professionals.
Methods
This cross-sectional survey was conducted between March 1, 2023, and August 31, 2023, across multiple tertiary centers in various Saudi Arabian cities. It assessed the understanding and awareness of congenital CMV infection among 400 healthcare professionals from diverse specialties. The study utilized a structured questionnaire to evaluate knowledge levels, obtain demographic data, and identify factors influencing awareness.
Results
The study revealed significant disparities in knowledge levels, with around 84 % of participants categorized as having “low" knowledge. Obstetricians and gynecologists exhibited better knowledge. Factors like specialization, age, and professional experience significantly affected knowledge levels. Additionally, many healthcare professionals perceived a lack of information and awareness regarding CMV among their peers.
Conclusion
Congenital CMV infection is a major public health concern with potential severe consequences. The study identified knowledge disparities, particularly among non-specialist healthcare practitioners, emphasizing the need for targeted educational programs and focused awareness initiatives. Key factors, such as expertise, age, and experience, underscore the importance of addressing ongoing knowledge gaps, highlighting the need for continuous efforts to mitigate challenges associated with CMV infection.
