Abstract
Objective: To evaluate physicians' knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) on Work-related Accident Reports (Comunicações de Acidentes de Trabalho, CATs) in Primary Care. Methods: A cross-sectional study carried out from November 2020 to January 2021, with application of the Survey to 229 physicians from Fortaleza, Ceará. The instrument was sent electronically with questions about knowledge, attitude and practice in relation to the CAT. The project was approved by a Research Ethics Committee under opinion No. 4.263.48. Results: The highest inadequacy rate was related to practice (85.59%). Inadequate knowledge was associated with the existence of different forms of medical employment (p=0.04), inadequate practice (p<0.001) and inadequate attitude (p=0.009). Inadequate attitude was associated with inadequate practice (p=0.026) and inadequate knowledge (p=0.009). Furthermore, 88.21% of the participants (n=202) stated that they had never filled in the CAT. Inadequate practices were associated with inadequate knowledge (p<0.001) and inadequate attitude (p=0.026). Conclusion: The physicians' knowledge, attitude and practice in relation to the CAT need to be improved.
