Abstract

Purpose: To explore the patients and healthcare providers’ attitudes and perceptions of drug-related problems in Saudi Arabia. Methods: It is a 4-months cross-sectional survey of drug-related problem information in Saudi Arabia. The study consisted of two-part a demographic data, and second part contained the questions about the knowledge of drug-related problems, the frequent occurrence, the type of medication-induced those problems, and the resources information used about the drug-related problem. American Society of Health- System Pharmacist definitions of drug-related problems used. The 5-point Likert response scale system used. The survey distributed through social media. The questionnaire made of an electronic format, and it analyzed through survey monkey system. Results: The total responders were two hundred and one; the Saudi nationality was 188 (93.5%), and non-Saudi was 13 (6.5%) patient. The gender distribution was female 180 (89.6%), and the male was 21 (10.4%). The majority of them in age (18-44) 88% and located in Riyadh region 84 (41.8%) and Asir region 59 (29.4%). Of those 44 (22.1 %) were healthcare providers. The majority of responders showed good knowledge about medication non-compliance 150 (75.76%), and medication without indication 147 (73.1%), while an adequate revealed information of adverse drug reaction 128 (64%), and an indication without medication 124 (62%). The imperfect information found about drug interaction 75 (37.5%) and drug poisoning 89 (44.5%). The most frequent drug-related problems occurred with the patient last year at least once; it was drug noncompliance 142 (71.4%), indications without medication 100 (50%), and adverse medication events 80 (40%). The most resources information on drug-related problems used were the internet, medicine leaflet, and healthcare practitioners. Conclusion: Drug-related problems occurred at a high rate in Saudi patients. The knowledge of drug-related problems is not adequate. It is very demanding and comprehensive public education about medication and urgent implementation of the patient medications counseling program in Saudi Arabia.

沙特阿拉伯患者和医疗保健提供者对毒品相关问题的态度和看法
目的:探讨沙特阿拉伯患者和医疗服务提供者对毒品相关问题的态度和看法。方法:对沙特阿拉伯的毒品相关问题信息进行为期4个月的横断面调查。本研究包括人口统计数据两部分,第二部分包括对药物相关问题的认识、发生频率、药物引起的药物相关问题的类型以及药物相关问题所使用的资源信息。美国卫生协会-系统药剂师对药物相关问题的定义。采用李克特5点反应量表系统。该调查通过社交媒体发布。问卷采用电子格式,并通过调查猴系统进行分析。结果:总应答者201人;沙特籍188例(93.5%),非沙特籍13例(6.5%)。性别分布为女性180例(89.6%),男性21例(10.4%)。他们大多数年龄在18-44岁,占88%,位于利雅得84区(41.8%)和阿西尔59区(29.4%)。其中44人(22.1%)是医疗保健提供者。大多数应答者对不符合用药150例(75.76%)、无指征用药147例(73.1%)有良好的了解,对药物不良反应128例(64%)、无指征用药124例(62%)有充分的了解。药物相互作用信息不完全75例(37.5%),药物中毒89例(44.5%)。患者去年至少发生过一次与药物相关的最常见问题;其中药物不符合142例(71.4%),无适应症100例(50%),药物不良事件80例(40%)。使用最多的与毒品有关的问题资源信息是互联网、药品传单和保健医生。结论:沙特患者药物相关问题发生率高。与毒品有关的问题的知识不够充分。在沙特阿拉伯,对公众进行全面的药物教育和紧急实施患者药物咨询计划是非常苛刻的。关键词:患者,医护人员,态度,观念,毒品相关问题,沙特阿拉伯
