“…Despite its importance, cost consciousness training is not well practiced in Germany . According to Cooke, cost‐conscious behaviour has been neglected in the training of physicians and nurses and this can lead to a lack of knowledge about the cost of tests or consumable items . An extensive meta‐analysis showed that different kinds of training may affect cost consciousness in real life .…”

“…Generally, although Chinese medical staff realize their responsibility for cost-consciousness, training for cost containment is still necessary. The neglect of cost-consciousness in training can lead to a lack of knowledge of the costs of treatments or consumable items [ 29 ]. Chinese medical staff needs more training on evidence-based decision-making, as well as greater knowledge of health economics and the cost of health care.…”

Background Rapidly increasing health care costs are a widespread problem in the world. The cost-consciousness among Chinese medical staff is an important topic that needs further investigation. Our study aimed to focus on the cost-consciousness of Chinese medical staff and explore the factors related to their cost-consciousness. Differences regarding cost-consciousness between doctors and nurses were also reported. Methods Eight hospitals in Liaoning Province, China, were surveyed using a self-reporting questionnaire. A total of 1043 respondents, including 635 doctors and 408 nurses, participated in the study. A revised Chinese Cost-consciousness Scale was used to estimate cost-consciousness. Results The mean score of the Cost-consciousness Scale was 27.60 and 28.18 among doctors and nurses, respectively, and there were no significant differences in any personal characteristics. Most Chinese medical staff were aware of the treatment costs and considered cost control as their responsibility. Chinese doctors disliked adhering to guidelines more and preferred to remain independent in making or denying a treatment decision; thus, they like autonomously balancing the treatment and cost. Chinese nurses have similar attitudes, but nurses tended to deny costly services and interventions and were more sensitive to the health care costs by rationing decisions and uncertainty in their medical practice. Conclusion We reveal the attitudes regarding cost-consciousness among Chinese medical staff. Chinese medical staff was aware of their responsibility in health cost control. Chinese doctors and nurses had different tendencies with regard to health care cost containment. Our study highlights the importance of education and professional training on cost-consciousness.

“…Many studies have shown that in the case of surgeon doctors, that awareness of cost resulted, and decreased overall hospital admission charges, without a detectable increase in surgical complications [10][11][12] as well as a reduction of waste generated in operating rooms [11]. Therefore training for cost containment is necessary because the neglect of cost-consciousness in training can lead to a lack of knowledge of the costs of treatments or consumable items [13]. As for patients, they show a willingness to obtain information about the costs of healthcare [14] even if the procedures or medications were covered by insurance [15].…”

Aim: The study aimed to test students' awareness of the costs of selected medical procedures. Another aim was to identify the frequency of used medical benefits both as part of public and private medical care. Materials and Methods: The research group included 246 people, both women, and men, aged 19-29, studying in Poland. An anonymous research questionnaire was used to conduct the study, which was sent to 21 universities in Poland (medical universities and physical education academies). The questionnaire asked participants to estimate the costs of treatments and investigations. The respondents were also asked which services of medical specialists they used in the last year. Results: Outpatient specialist care services under the public health care system were used by the majority of respondents (N = 200; 81.3%). Most often it was 1-2 times in the last year (54.5% of all respondents used the public health service). The respondents most often used gynecological (33%), ophthalmological (21%), and dermatological (15.5%). In turn, private medical care was used by 192 respondents (78%) out of all the respondents. Respondents revalued all assessed medical procedures by 27% for the diagnostic colonoscopy to 790% for a 20-minute massage at a rehabilitation clinic. Conclusion: Cost awareness among polish students is poor. Lack of awareness of the costs of medical procedures (the amount that the public payer pays for specific procedures medical) that may have an impact on the use of healthcare services as well as health care expenses.
