Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate health care professionals' knowledge on warfarin interactions with drugs and herbs.

Methods: A self-administered questionnaire was developed to assess health care professionals' knowledge on warfarin interactions with drug and herb. Respondents were asked to classify 15 drugs that may effect on warfarin action as "enhance", "inhibit ", "no effect". The study sample involved health care professionals (physicians, pharmacists and nurses) from king Salman hospital, Saudi Arabia.

Results: About 92.2% of health care professionals identified warfarin interactions with aspirin, 4.4% for warfarin and fluoxetine. Warfarin and cardiac agents (atenolol) was correctly identified by 11.1% of respondents. In warfarin -herb interactions section, the majority of respondents (66.7%) identified the interaction between green tea and warfarin. Approximately one-third of respondents (n=33) correctly classified warfarin interactions with cardamom. No significant difference was found between the health care professionals (p=0.49) for warfarin-drug interactions knowledge score and p= 0.52 for warfarin- herb interactions knowledge score.

Conclusion: This study suggests that health care professionals' knowledge of warfarin- drug-herb interactions was inadequate. Therefore, health care professionals should receive more education programs about drug-drug/herb interactions to provide appropriate patient counseling and optimal therapeutic outcomes.

评估沙特阿拉伯中部地区医护人员对华法林与药物和草药相互作用的了解程度。

目的：评估医护人员对华法林与药物和中草药相互作用的了解程度：评估医护人员对华法林与药物和草药相互作用的了解程度：编制自填式问卷，评估医护人员对华法林与药物和草药相互作用的了解程度。要求受访者将可能影响华法林作用的 15 种药物分为 "增强"、"抑制 "和 "无影响 "三种。研究样本包括沙特阿拉伯萨勒曼国王医院的医护人员（医生、药剂师和护士）：结果：约 92.2%的医护人员发现了华法林与阿司匹林的相互作用，4.4%的医护人员发现了华法林与氟西汀的相互作用。11.1%的受访者正确识别了华法林与强心剂（阿替洛尔）的相互作用。在华法林与草药相互作用部分，大多数受访者（66.7%）识别出绿茶与华法林之间的相互作用。约有三分之一的受访者（33 人）正确归类了华法林与豆蔻的相互作用。在华法林-药物相互作用知识得分和华法林-草药相互作用知识得分方面，医护人员之间没有发现明显差异（P=0.49），P=0.52：本研究表明，医护人员对华法林-药物-草药相互作用的认识不足。因此，医护人员应接受更多有关药物-药物/草药相互作用的教育课程，以便为患者提供适当的咨询服务和最佳治疗效果。
