Evaluating of knowledge of resident and internal doctors regarding serum pediatric protein profiles and the relevance of the prescriptions at Abderrahim Harouchi children's hospital in Casablanca

Introduction and purpose: The serum protein profile remains a very useful test to diagnose, track, monitor and evaluate several inflammatory, nutritional and immune diseases. So, his prescription is still limited. the recommendations of good practices in biology Exigences. Depending on our situation, this examination is moderately prescribed by doctors. The objective of this study is to evaluate the prerequisites of internal doctors and residents in pediatric serum protein profile. Method: a descriptive, quantitative and cross-sectional study. The questionnaire consisted of 20 questions, with 4 closed questions, 12 multiple choice questions and 4 closed-ended questions for 59 physicians. This questionnaire assesses the knowledge of resident and internal physicians and their need for training on the pediatric serum protein profile and their expectations for the services of the biochemistry laboratory. Results of the study: The results led to a lack of training in pediatric serum protein profile. Only 3.7% of internal doctors and pediatric residents who received training in this area. 63% of doctors do not consider themselves competent to know the relevance of the prescription of the targeted protein profile. Only 9.3% ensure that the satisfaction of the biochemistry laboratory's performance of the biological council is rather satisfied. Conclusion: Pediatric serum protein profile training has been shown to be very fundamental for all prescribing pediatric doctors in order to reinforce the gains for a highly relevant prescription whose purpose is to accelerate and improve diagnosis.
