Implication

Good perceptions among collaborators may bolster teamwork; leaves open need for targeted education to enhance broader recognition.

Structured PICO

Population

629 medical, paramedical, midwives, and administrative staff from one University hospital, three public general hospitals, and two private hospitals in Normandy, France.

Outcome

Perception of the anesthesiologist evaluated via a 38-item survey on a Likert scale from -2 to +2 across 6 topics (communicated image, skills and knowledge, communication, place in patient care, workload, and initial formation).

The overall perception of anesthesiologists among medical, paramedical, and administrative staff is positive, recognizing their high degree of responsibility and central role in perioperative care.

Limitations

Mainly closed questions leading to loss of nuance
Arbitrary order of questions exposing to anchoring bias
Formulation of questions may induce confirmation bias
Population includes a large proportion of young physicians and paramedics in public hospitals, limiting representativeness
Reflects specifically the French vision of the anesthesiologist
