Abstract

<p>The Practice Guidelines for Primary Care of Acute Abdomen 2015 (GL) has been published, but for these guidelines to be useful, the GL must be universally recognized. We performed a questionnaire survey exploring to what extent the GL is presently recognized. All 38 doctors at our hospital completed the questionnaire. Five doctors (13%) knew about the GL; of these doctors had learned about the GL 2 months after its publication, and 3 of them had learned about the GL after participating in a GL-related workshop that was conducted at our hospital. The remaining 33 doctors (87%) were unaware of the GL. Six doctors belonged to five societies that participated in the development of the GL; the Japanese Society for Abdominal Emergency Medicine, the Japan Radiological Society, the Japan Primary Care Association, the Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and the Japanese Society for Vascular Surgery. However, only 2 of these doctors knew about the GL. Thus, the GL is not yet widely known. To raise awareness of the presence of the GL and develop the usefulness of the GL, must be further publicized. Hospital workshops are effective for promoting recognition of the GL. Furthermore, the number of doctors who belonged to the five societies involved in the formulation of the GL was not very large, and cooperation with a larger number of associations might be useful.</p>
