After checking the related literatures in the CNKI, Wanfang Data and Pubmed Database, and combining with the guiding principles for clinical application of antimicrobial drug[4] and relevant policy documents of management[5-7], the questionnaire survey was designed.
It included 2 parts. The first part was the information of the respondents, including the hospital grade, department, professional title, age and working years. The second part was the pharmacists’ mastery of antimicrobial related knowledge. This part consisted of 3 items, national countermeasures for antimicrobial drug, administrative rules, regulations and guiding principles of antimicrobial drug, and related knowledge of rational use of antimicrobial drug, respectively. Among them, there were 2 questions about the management strategy of antimicrobial drug, 8 questions about the administrative rules, regulations and guiding principles of management of antimicrobial drug, 10 questions about the related knowledge of rational use of antimicrobial drug, 20 questions in total.
They were single-choice questions and multiple-choice questions. One point is awarded for each correct answer, but no point if missing or wrong answer. There were 20 scores in total. In order to ensure the validity and correctness of the questionnaire, the contents of the questionnaire had been verified by vice-senior or superior experts in antimicrobial drug management in our hospital. Before the formal survey, 50 pharmacists were randomly selected for the pre-survey, and the questionnaire was modified according to the problems found in the pre-survey results. The final questionnaire was determined, and the reasonable completion time was estimated.
