Abstract

This cross-sectional descriptive study investigates the demand feasibility of surgeons in the implementation of Thailand’s medical device registry and studies the factors affecting surgeon’s demand feasibility in the implementation of Thailand’s medical device registry of breast implant patients. There were 160 sample surgeons and data gathered by Google Form Self-Reported Questionnaires. The Questionnaires were divided into 7 parts. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, percentages, mean, and standard deviations. Logistic regression was used for hypothesis testing at 0.05.

Results showed that the factors acceptability were at a high level (percentage of mean 93.19), adequacy was at a low level (percentage of mean 44%), practice was at a high level (mean 37.50, S.D.0.51), motivation was at a high level (mean 18.86, S.D.0.60), and privacy was at a high level (mean 18.81, S.D.0.52). Logistic regression showed that acceptability, adequacy, practice, motivation, and privacy were statistically significant factors predicting surgeon’s demand feasibility at 83.7%.

Policymakers could utilize the factors in this study to enhance the safety of medical device policy. As a pilot study to pursue the implementation of a breast implant patient registry in different stakeholders, this could be used to enhance consumer protection.
