Evaluation of face to face training effects on reduction of drug interactions on insured prescription of physicians

Background: Drug interactions are among the most important medication errors and often can potentially cause adverse drug reactions that may affect treatment course. In the present study we evaluated the effects of face to face education on reduction of drug interactions on insured prescription of physicians. Materials and methods: We selected the physicianʹs prescriptions and identified drug interactions of physicianʹs prescriptions. The prepared questionnaire was introduced to physicians through face to face education, feed back of information and designation of pamphlets. Having educated the physicians, their prescriptions were reevaluated. Results: The incidence of drug interaction was %8.49, however, mean number of drug interaction was significantly reduced after education (p<0.001). Meanwhile, a significant increment was observed in physiciansʹ knowledge towards possible mechanism, pharmacologic classification and drug interactions (p<0.001). Conclusions: Our results revealed the importance of active education in reducing the percentage of drug interactions and the effects of education in increased physicianʹs knowledge towards drug interactions.
