Abstract

ABSTRACT Objectives: The drugs commonly used/prescribed by dentists/physicians or consumed by patients may cause adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Therefore, the possibility of dentists to encounter an ADR during their professional lives cannot be underestimated and the contribution of dentists to pharmacovigilance systems by notifying spontaneous ADR reports play an important role in the early detection and prevention of ADRs. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes and practices of dentists regarding pharmacovigilance and ADR reporting. Materials and Methods: A questionnaire with 30 questions evaluating knowledge, attitudes and practices of pharmacovigilance and ADR reporting among general dentists (GDs) and specialist dentists (SDs) was distributed electronically in northwestern region of Turkey. Data were statistically analyzed (p < 0.05). Results: Most of the participants were able to define the terms of pharmacovigilance (64.7%), ADR (74.9%) and side-effect (58.1%). SDs were significantly more aware of ADRs related to the drugs used/prescribed by dentists/physicians and other drugs consumed by patients than GDs. Additionally, awareness of ADRs regarding these drugs was significantly higher among participants with ≤12 years of experience (p12 years of experience (p

土耳其西北部牙医关于药物警戒和不良反应报告的知识、态度和实践:一项横断面研究

【摘要】目的:牙医/医师常用/处方或患者使用的药物可能会引起药物不良反应。因此，牙医在其职业生涯中遇到ADR的可能性不容低估，牙医通过通报自发ADR报告对药物警戒系统的贡献在ADR的早期发现和预防中起着重要作用。本研究旨在评估牙医对药物警戒和不良反应报告的知识、态度和做法。材料与方法:在土耳其西北部地区以电子方式发放一份包含30个问题的问卷，评估普通牙医(GDs)和专科牙医(SDs)对药物警戒和不良反应报告的知识、态度和做法。对资料进行统计学分析(p < 0.05)。结果:大多数参与者能够明确药物警戒(64.7%)、不良反应(74.9%)和副作用(58.1%)等术语。SDs明显比GDs更了解牙医/医生使用/处方的药物和患者消耗的其他药物相关的adr。此外，经验≤12年的参与者对这些药物的不良反应的认识明显更高(经验≤12年的参与者(p
