The aim of this study was to evaluate general publics' perception about anesthesiologist\& anesthesia in operating and especially intensive care units during COVID 19 pandemic.
Read the detailed description
Method: A questionnaire consisting of 27 questions was asked to fill by the general population via the social media. The questionnaire consists of two parts: The first part includes demographic data such as age, gender, education level, occupation; the second part includes the questions about anesthesia experience and knowledge.
