Objectives:
To evaluate education for adults with nasal polyposis (NP) and compare their knowledge and opinions on NP to those of a group of general practitioners and a group of ENT specialists.
Material And Methods:
Prospective study conducted on 87 consecutive subjects (33 patients with NP, 20 GP, and 34 ENT) using a questionnaire to evaluate the knowledge on NP (general, medical, and surgical information).
Results:
The results obtained from the three groups of subjects (patients, GP, ENT) differed significantly on "overall knowledge of the disease." Patients and GPs showed similar results. The ENT group had significantly better results.
Conclusion:
Education in a this type of chronic disease of the upper respiratory tract seems necessary for the management of NP. This study also underscores the need for information transfer on NP from ENT specialists and GPs.
