Popis: Učenje na daljinu u medicini i farmaciji jedna je od bitnih sastavnica cjeloživotnog učenja koje je danas obveza svakoga zdravstvenog djelatnika. Jedna od tema koju smo putem portala PLIVAmed.net željeli posebno obraditi u obliku online tečajeva za liječnike i ljekarnike jest farmakovigilancija. Tečaju je pristupilo 566 ljekarnika i 1034 liječnika. Prolaznost je bila vrlo visoka: 95,1% ljekarnika i 96,8% liječnika uspješno je završilo tečaj. Svega 51,68% polaznika znalo je prije završenog tečaja u kojem dokumentu liječnici mogu pronaći podatke o lijeku. Nakon završetka obaju tečajeva sudionici su ocijenili njihovu korisnost, kvalitetu, težinu i poticajnost. Ocjene su bile vrlo izjednačene u tečajevima i između njih te je prosječna ocjena za sve parametre bila 5,68 (na skali od 1 do 7). Farmakovigilancija zauzima važno mjesto u očuvanju sigurnosti pacijenata i svaka edukacija o ovoj temi znači korak bliže konačnom cilju: osigurati da pacijenti uzimaju primjeren lijek u primjerenoj dozi i na primjeren način. Međutim, potrebna su i daljnja istraživanja na ovom području, a prvi bi korak bio utvrditi koliko stečeno znanje u ovakvim online tečajevima utječe na spontano prijavljivanje nuspojava i liječnika i ljekarnika.
Continuous learning is the responsibility of every healthcare professional today, and e-learning in medicine and pharmacy represents its essential part. Pharmacovigilance is one of the topics we wanted to specifically address by conducting online courses for physicians and pharmacists through the PLIVAmed.net website. A total of 566 pharmacists and 1,034 physicians took the online course. Participants achieved excellent results: 95.1% of pharmacists and 96.8% of physicians successfully completed the course. Prior to taking the course, only 51.68% of the participants knew which document a physician should consult in order to find information on a medicinal product. After the participants completed the courses, they were asked to evaluate the usefulness, quality and level of difficulty of the course and whether the course encourages further learning. Evaluation scores were equally distributed across the same course as well as between the two courses. The average score for all parameters was 5.68 on a scale from 1 to 7. Pharmacovigilance plays an important role in ensuring patient safety. Therefore, any kind of professional training in this area brings us one step closer to achieving the final goal, which is ensuring that patients take an appropriate dose of an appropriate medicinal product in an appropriate manner. However, further research in this area is needed, and the first step would be to determine how the knowledge acquired through such online courses impacts the spontaneous reporting of adverse drug reactions by both physicians and pharmacists.
