| Popis: | Lipid lowering therapy using statins prevents the risk of cardiovascular events. However, since the year 2000, there have been some reports that statins increased the risk of developing diabetes (SIRDD). It is socially demanded that pharmacists must apply pharmacotherapy to patients by utilizing drug information like the above, such as selecting appropriate drugs and providing correct drug information. Accordingly, pharmacists must correct drug information, and they should analyze and evaluate such information. Therefore, we conducted a questionnaire survey for pharmacists in community pharmacies with an aim to verify relevance between methods of obtaining drug information and the utilization of the information of "SIRDD" as a subject. We sent a questionnaire by letter to 1522 pharmacists in Fukushima and Mie prefecture, and received the results of the questionnaire from them using "Google forms" that is software to make web questionnaire and letters. We obtained responses from 356 (23.4%) pharmacists out of 1522. The number of responses from the pharmacists that "know" the information of "SIRDD" was 135 (37.9%). We found that these pharmacists obtained the information by websites of pharmaceutical companies, m3, Inc. (Portal site for medical professionals), and Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA), as the sources of information. Our results suggested that pharmacists responded that they "know" "SIRDD" utilized websites as a quick information tool. The difference in network environments will relate to the difference of providable medical quality. So, it is very important to maintain appropriate network environment in cooperation with medical institutions, professional associations and the government. |
