Inadequacy of information about drugs.

P E Schulz, C V Perrier

    International Journal of Clinical Pharmacology and Biopharmacy
    |December 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Most doctors struggle with pharmacological facts, with 60% lacking frequent access to crucial drug information. Comparative efficacy data is particularly challenging for physicians to find.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Clinical Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Physicians require up-to-date pharmacological knowledge for effective patient care.
    • Internal medicine residents face challenges in accessing comprehensive drug information.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the frequency of access to pharmacological facts among internal medicine interns.
    • To identify specific areas of pharmacological knowledge that are difficult to obtain.

    Main Methods:

    • A questionnaire was distributed to 52 interns across three internal medicine services.
    • Data on the frequency of accessing pharmacological facts and information types were collected.

    Main Results:

    • Approximately 60% of responding interns reported lacking frequent access to pharmacological facts.
    • Information regarding the comparative efficacy of drugs was identified as the most difficult to obtain.

    Conclusions:

    • A significant proportion of internal medicine interns experience deficiencies in readily accessing essential pharmacological data.
    • Improving access to comparative efficacy information is crucial for enhancing clinical decision-making.
