Adverse drug reactions are an important public health consern that affects physician prescriptions and practice. The responsibilities of healthcare professionals in monitoring, prevention, treatment and reporting of drug hypersensitivity reactions and drug allergies are essential for patient safety. Providing drug safety must be one of the main goals to be achieved for every member of our society. In our study, we planned to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of healthcare workers in our country about drug hypersensitivity reactions in pediatric patients and to determine the risk factors that may affect them.
This study was carried out in a capital-located university hospital with a capacity of 1150 beds. Healthcare workers who are authorized to intervene in children (0-18 age group) including medical doctors, nurses and dentists were enrolled to study. In the evaluation of the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of the participants about drug hypersensitivity reactions in children, a study questionnaire was developed by pediatric allergy and immunology specialists and pediatric nurses by considering the other studies on the same subject.
