3.1 Knowledge level of rational use of antibacterial drug
of the pharmacist
Knowledge level of rational use of antibacterial drug of the pharmacist
knowledge is a significant factor that influences the rational use of
antibiotics[8].The results of this survey reflected that the current
knowledge level of antimicrobial drug of pharmacists desperately needed
to be improved. Our findings regarding poor knowledge about antibiotics
are similar to findings from other studies conducted in different
countries [9-12].According to the results, the CAR of usage
indications for antimicrobial drug, prophylactic medication and drug
combination, the dosage adjustment of antimicrobial drug for patients
with liver and renal insufficiency, the selection of antimicrobial drug
for common diseases of the pharmacists, was relatively low, especially
for the clinical medication, the knowledge of which was extremely lack.
For example, the CAR for the combined use of antimicrobial drug, and the
CAR for the use of antimicrobial drug and the prophylactic use of
antimicrobial drug. It indicated that the respondents generally lacked
knowledge about the clinical use of antimicrobial drug. Analyzing the
causes: the positions of pharmacists in hospitals included drug
dispensing, hospital preparations, clinical pharmacy, pharmaceutical
research and so on, and their work nature was quite different [13],
and they mastered different pharmaceutical knowledge. Pharmacists also
did not focus on the study of clinical use in their work practice.
The CAR for the theme for 2011 World Health Day, “No action today, No
cure tomorrow”, was slightly high, and the reason of which was that the
theme for World Health Day was advertised in different ways and there
was higher awareness rate in pharmacists. We can see the importance of
advertisement. Pharmacists in hospital had changed their work mode from
drug-centered to patient-centered model of pharmacy service, which
needed to improve the professional level of pharmacists. It was
suggested to increase the frequency of training and assessment in the
medical institutions, and train the pharmacists at different positions
and levels according to their requirements [14]. Meanwhile, the
pharmacists should actively take part in the study. For the contents,
the medical institutions should emphasise on the training of clinical
use of antimicrobial drug.
