摘要

背景:医疗特派团旅行解决了全球心脏病负担,特别是在撒哈拉以南非洲,在那里获得心脏手术的机会有限,加剧了受影响个人面临的挑战。然而,尽管灌注师在提供心脏手术服务中起着至关重要的作用,但他们参与这些任务的经验缺乏文献。因此,本描述性研究的目的是评估低收入国家参与慈善心脏手术的心血管灌注师的经验。方法:采用描述性调查研究设计,对参加心脏宣教的灌注师进行调查。该调查链接于2024年2月通过Liv Perfusion LLC社交媒体账户发布。调查的问题包括经验年限、访问过的国家、设备和人员是否充足、语言和文化障碍以及建立长期护理。结果:共有23名被调查者完成了调查,其中15名被纳入研究。调查对象均为灌注师,平均临床经验为10.67±7.96年,硕士学历占67%。所有的调查对象都对他们的心脏使命之旅体验非常满意或满意。尽管满意度很高,但60%的人报告语言差异,40%的人报告文化障碍和法律限制是他们提供护理的重大挑战。此外,67%报告有足够的医疗设备,80%报告在特派团旅行期间有足够的人员。结论:总的来说,心血管灌注师对慈善心脏任务的满意度很高,但面临语言障碍、文化和法律限制等挑战。解决这些问题可以提高特派团的效率和低收入国家的病人护理。

Exploring the experiences of cardiovascular perfusionists during philanthropic cardiac surgery in low-income countries.

Background: Medical mission trips address the global burden of cardiac disease, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, where limited access to cardiac surgery exacerbates challenges faced by affected individuals. However, a lack of literature exists on the experiences of perfusionists involved in these missions, despite their crucial role in delivering cardiac surgery services. Therefore, the purpose of this descriptive study was to evaluate the experiences of cardiovascular perfusionists involved in philanthropic cardiac surgery in low-income countries.Methods: A descriptive survey research design was conducted among perfusionists who have participated in cardiac mission trips. The survey link was distributed in February 2024 via the Liv Perfusion LLC social media account. The survey included questions regarding years of experience, countries visited, adequacy of equipment and personnel, language and cultural barriers, and establishment of long-term care.Results: A total of 23 respondents completed the survey, 15 of which were included in the study. All of the survey takers were perfusionists with a mean clinical experience of 10.67 ± 7.96 years and 67% held a master's degree. All of the survey respondents were either very satisfied or satisfied with their cardiac mission trip experience. Despite high satisfaction, 60% reported language differences, and 40% reported cultural barriers and legal restrictions as significant challenges in their delivery of care. Additionally, 67% reported having adequate medical equipment and 80% reported having adequate personnel during the mission trip.Conclusion: In summary, cardiovascular perfusionists reported high satisfaction with philanthropic cardiac missions but faced challenges such as language barriers, and cultural and legal constraints. Addressing these issues could improve mission effectiveness and patient care in low-income countries.
