病理医生在医学中的基本角色认知度调查研究
A Survey on the Cognition of Pathologist’s Basic Role in Medicine

病理医生经常被称为“医生的医生”，但是很多人不清楚病理医生在医疗体系中担任什么样的角色，当前研究的目的是分析有医学背景和无医学背景的参与者对病理医生的了解，确认有必要加强对病理医生的宣传，树立病理医生在人们心中的形象。通过问卷星发布调查问卷，并用微信相互转发，采用滚雪球抽样法。共有527人参与了这项研究，值得注意的是仅48.00%的参与者认为病理医生是医生。在“病理医生的诊断报告对治疗有很大影响”和“病理医生在诊断中担任重要角色”有医学背景的参与者和无医学背景的参与者存在显著差异(P < 0.05)。研究结果表明，病理医生作为医生这样最基本的知识都不为人所知，病理医生在疾病诊断中的重要性不被认可。
Pathologists are often referred to as “doctors’ doctors”, but many people are unclear about the role of pathologists in the health care system. The purpose of the current study is to analyze the understanding of pathologists among participants with and without medical backgrounds, and to identify the need to strengthen the awareness of pathologists and establish the image of pathologists in people’s minds. The questionnaire was released through the questionnaire star and forwarded to each other through WeChat, and the snowball sampling method was adopted. A total of 527 people participated in the study, and it is worth noting that only 48.00% of participants identified pathologists as doctors. There were significant differences between participants with medical background and those without medical background (P < 0.05) in that the pathologist’s diagnosis report had a great influence on treatment, and pathologists play an important role in diagnosis. The results show that the most basic knowledge of pathologists as doctors is not known, and the importance of pathologists in disease diagnosis is not recognized.
