Abstract

Objective: This work was designed to describe the knowledge and perceptions of pharmacogenomics (PGx) among pharmacists in the Canadian province of Manitoba. Methods: A 40-item, web-based survey was distributed to pharmacists in Manitoba. Results: Of 74 participants, one third had some education or training in PGx, and 12.2% had used PGx test results in their practice. Participants' self-rated knowledge of PGx testing and common PGx resources (e.g., Pharmacogenomics Knowledge Base, Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium) was low. Most pharmacists surveyed believe that PGx can improve medication efficacy (82.4%) or prevent adverse drug reactions (81.1%). Most (91%) desired more education on PGx. Conclusion: Manitoba pharmacists reported positive perceptions toward PGx. However, they are currently underprepared to implement PGx into practice.

加拿大马尼托巴省药剂师对药物基因组学的了解和看法。

目的：本研究旨在描述加拿大马尼托巴省药剂师对药物基因组学 (PGx) 的了解和看法。方法：向药剂师发放了一份包含 40 个项目的网络调查问卷：向马尼托巴省的药剂师发放了一份包含 40 个项目的网络调查问卷。结果显示在 74 名参与者中，三分之一的人接受过 PGx 方面的教育或培训，12.2% 的人在实践中使用过 PGx 检测结果。参与者对 PGx 检测和常用 PGx 资源（如药物基因组学知识库、临床药物基因组学实施联合会）的自我评价知识水平较低。大多数受访药剂师认为 PGx 可以提高药物疗效（82.4%）或预防药物不良反应（81.1%）。大多数药剂师（91%）希望获得更多有关 PGx 的教育。结论：马尼托巴省的药剂师对 PGx 持积极态度。然而，他们目前还没有做好在实践中实施 PGx 的准备。
