Objective  To investigate the status of the knowledge, attitudes and intervention behaviors in medical professionals in the prevention and treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and explore the weak links in knowledge-attitude-practice of DVT. Methods  From December 2017 to February 2018, a convenient sampling method was used to extract 158 medical professionals out of 204 medical professionals from Department of Orthopedics, West China Hospital of Sichuan University. The questionnaire included the general information and basic situation of DVT learning, the knowledge of DVT, intervention attitude and implementation of preventive measures. The survey involved orthopedic doctors, nurses, rehabilitation therapists and nutrition managers. Results  A total of 158 questionnaires were distributed and 150 valid questionnaires were completed. The effective questionnaire recovery rate was 94.9%. The mean score of basic knowledge of DVT was 6.45±1.83, the mean score of risk factors was 13.29±3.38, the mean score of intervention attitudes was 9.57±0.78, and the mean score of prevention implementation was 23.33±5.85. Conclusions  The knowledge-practice of DVT intervention in orthopedic medical staff is moderate, and the attitude of DVT intervention is better among medical staff. There are various characteristics and weaknesses in knowledge-practice. It is necessary to regularly carry out knowledge about DVT among medical staff to improve the professional level of medical staff to prevent and treat DVT.
