Methods: Residents and specialist medical doctors working at a tertiary health institution were included in the study. A questionnaire consisting of questions evaluating occupational and demographic characteristics, knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors about drug allergy was prepared and administered to the participants. Result: Only 26 (21.3%) of the participants had attended any training on drug allergies. Of the participants, 73 (59.8%) felt competent in taking and interpreting an accurate allergy history for drugs. Of the participants, 107 (87.7%) knew that it is often impossible to reach a definite conclusion about drug allergy based on anamnesis alone. Only half of the participants stated that they could spare enough time for detailed anamnesis about drug allergy in their daily practice. Only 19 (15.6%) of the participants stated that they referred patients with suspected drug allergies to an allergist at a rate of 90-100%. When the answers of the assistant and specialists were compared;the proportion of respondents to the question of the most important drug classes responsible for allergic reactions, including antibiotics and aspirin/other NSAIDs (28.9% vs. 67.7%;p<.001). And the rate of those who responded corticosteroids+antihistamines+adrenaline to the question of the most recommended drug classes to treat drug allergies was found to be higher in specialist physicians (19.8% vs. 71%;p<.001). Conclusion: This cross-sectional study showed a low level of awareness, knowledge, and competency in the management of drug allergies among residents and specialists from different fields.","PeriodicalId":35658,"journal":{"name":"Gulhane Medical Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41497127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: This cross-sectional study included patients aged 18-65 years with chronic musculoskeletal pain. Age, gender, body mass index, systemic diseases, dominant pain area, duration of pain, analgesic use, and exercise habit before and after the pandemic were recorded. Participants were asked to evaluate their pain severity and global assessments in the last month and the pre-pandemic period with a visual analog scale (VAS). The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and The Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) were administered Results: The study included 100 participants (age, mean ± SD: 42.8±12.5 years, female: 69%). Compared with the pre-pandemic period, an increase in pain and global assessment scores, and poorer sleep hygiene in the last month were reported by 82%, 67%, and 66%, respectively. Pain severity VAS score (pre-pandemic: 3.9±2 vs. post-pandemic: 5.9±2.1, p<0.001), global assessment VAS score (pre-pandemic: 3.8±2 vs. post-pandemic: 5.6±2.3, p<0.001), the proportion of patients using routine analgesics (pre-pandemic: 44% vs. post-pandemic: 52%, p=0.008), and the number of routine analgesics (pre-pandemic: 10.4±18.6 vs. post-pandemic: 15.3±24, p<0.001) in the last month was significantly more compared to the pre-pandemic period. There were no significant differences in pain score, patient’s global assessment score, the number of routine analgesics, PSS-14, PSQI, NHP-1, and NHP-2 scores between subjects with and without a history of COVID-19. Conclusions: In patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain, an increase in pain severity, analgesic use, and deterioration in general well-being were observed during the COVID-19 pandemic. The pronounced changes were not found to be dependent on the history of COVID-19.
