Abstract

Purpose: Improved quality and safety in drug use is a public health goal of major importance. In Sweden, local drug and therapeutics committees (DTCs) have adopted the task of working for safe and rational drug use. This study aimed to explore how chairs conceived the role of the DTCs, to explore how information officers conceived their own role, and to determine whether the respondents included patients in their answers.

Design/methodology/approach: Data were collected using questionnaires and the answers were analysed according to phenomenographic method to identify conceptions. "Patient awareness" was studied by content analysis.

Findings: In both groups the prescribers were the focus of attention, and only a few respondents mentioned patients. A variation of four conceptions was found among chairs and three among information officers. It would be beneficial if DTCs used this knowledge in their development.

Originality/value: The importance of "patient awareness" within DTCs must be further explored.

药物和治疗委员会的作用。

目的:提高药物使用质量和安全性是一项重要的公共卫生目标。在瑞典，地方药物和治疗委员会(dtc)已经通过了安全合理用药的工作任务。本研究旨在探讨主席如何设想dtc的角色，探讨信息官员如何设想他们自己的角色，并确定受访者是否在他们的答案中包括患者。设计/方法/方法:采用问卷调查的方式收集数据，并根据现象法对答案进行分析，以识别概念。采用内容分析法对“患者意识”进行研究。结果:在两组中，处方者都是关注的焦点，只有少数受访者提到了患者。在椅子中发现了四种不同的概念，在信息官员中发现了三种。如果dtc在其开发中使用这些知识将是有益的。独创性/价值:dtc中“患者意识”的重要性必须进一步探讨。
