摘要
背景:药品宣传可以提高医护人员和患者的用药意识,增加救命药物的获取途径,从而提高合理用药水平。本研究旨在确定药品推广是否能提高医护人员的合理用药水平:方法:对乌干达中部选定的配药员和处方员进行了半结构式问卷调查。调查了药品促销的形式、药品信息的来源以及对药品促销对合理用药的影响的看法。对选定变量之间的相关性进行了双变量和多变量检验:在参加研究的 383 名参与者中,49.6% 是配药员。更多配药员(49.0%,92/188)倾向于一对一讨论,而处方员(32.0%,61/191)则倾向于持续医学教育。大多数配药员(85.6%,161/188)和处方员(68.6%,131/191)表示药品促销影响了他们的用药选择,其中大多数(配药员:85.1%,160/188 vs 处方员:72.3%,1/191)承认药品促销是他们获取药品信息的主要来源:结论:药品促销会影响医务工作者的处方和配药行为,因此应严格监管,以确保医务工作者获得准确和必要的信息,同时优先考虑合理用药。
Pharmaceutical Drug Promotion and Rational Drug Use: Assessment of Healthcare Workers Perspective.
Background: Pharmaceutical drug promotion has the potential to improve rational drug use by creating awareness among healthcare workers and patients as well as increasing access to life-saving medicines. This study aimed to determine whether pharmaceutical drug promotion can improve rational drug use among healthcare workers.
Methods: Semi-structured questionnaires were filled by selected dispensers and prescribers in central Uganda. Forms of pharmaceutical drug promotion, sources of drug information, and views on the influence of drug promotion on rational drug use were investigated. Associations amongst selected variables were tested at bivariate and multivariate levels.
Results: Of the 383 participants enrolled in the study, 49.6% were dispensers. More dispensers (49.0%, 92/188) favored 1 on 1 discussion whereas prescribers (32.0%, 61/191) preferred continuous medical education. Most dispensers (85.6%, 161/188) and prescribers (68.6%, 131/191) reported that drug promotion influences their choice of drug use, with most (dispensers: 85.1%, 160/188 vs prescribers: 72.3%, 1/191) admittedly relying on drug promotion as their primary source of drug information.
Conclusion: Pharmaceutical drug promotion influences prescription and dispensing practices among health workers, and it should be strictly regulated to ensure accurate and essential information for health workers while prioritizing rational use of medicines.
