As Canadian health systems face increasing pressure to provide timely perioperative care, public opinion is likely to influence healthcare policy decisions. This Canadian-wide survey aimed to quantify public opinion regarding anesthesiologists in Canada.
PurposeAs Canadian health systems experience greater pressure to deliver timely perioperative care, public opinion is likely to influence health care policy decisions. Since Canadian public perception of anesthesiologists is unknown, the goal of this Canadian-wide survey was to begin to quantify public opinion regarding anesthesiologists in Canada.MethodsThe Maru/Blue international market research group was contracted to survey the Canadian public on their perceptions of anesthesiologists. The anonymous bilingual polling surveys were presented to consenting Canadians, who earn credits from Maru/Blue that provide financial reward for participation, by means of an online survey tool. Results were weighted by education, age, sex, region, and language to match census data with an estimated margin of error of & PLUSMN; 3.0%, 19 times out of 20.ResultsIn August 2020, 1,511 randomly selected consenting Canadian adults recruited by the Maru/Blue research group in all ten provinces answered five sequential questions with variably presented answers. A total of 812 (54%) respondents identified as female. Most participants were from Ontario (38%) and Quebec (24%). The majority of participants, 778 (52%), were over 55 yr of age, with 496 (33%) having an annual income of between CAD 50,000 and 100,000. Only 41% (624/1,511) of respondents identified the most responsible anesthesia provider as a physician, with the next most frequent response being that the anesthesia provider was unknown (350/1,511; 23%). The median [interquartile range] impression of anesthesiologists was favourable [favourable-somewhat favourable], with 310/1,511 (21%) expressing an unknown impression.ConclusionsOver half of surveyed Canadians did not identify the most responsible anesthesia provider as a physician.
