AIMS: COVID-19 is now a global pandemic. At the time of survey, fewer than 150
children in Australia and New Zealand had documented infection. The aim of this
study was to assess attitudes, readiness and confidence in the early stages of
the COVID-19 pandemic through an online survey of paediatric physicians and
sub-specialists across Australia and New Zealand. METHODS: Multiple email list
groups were used to contact paediatric physicians to undertake an online Likert
scale survey between 17 and 24 March. Respondents' specialty, experience and work
setting were recorded. Ordinal logistic regression was used to determine
respondent factors. RESULTS: There were 542 respondents from across Australia and
New Zealand: an estimated 11% of the paediatric physician workforce. A minority
(36.6%) agreed that their national response had been well coordinated; the
majority (92.7%) agreed that senior-level hospital administrators were taking the
situation seriously. Most reported a good understanding of the natural history of
COVID-19 in children, and knowledge of where to find local information. A large
proportion of physicians (86.1%) were worried about becoming infected through
their work; few (5.8%) reported that they would not come to work to avoid
infection. Closure of school and childcares would reduce the ability to continue
work at current capacity for 23.6% of respondents. CONCLUSION: Despite limited
experience in pandemics, most paediatric physicians felt informed. Concern about
exposure at work is common; most were willing to work regardless. The closure of
schools and daycares may have an impact on staffing. Coordination and leadership
will be critical.
