Determination of Artificial Intelligence Awareness of Pharmacists in Edirne
Abstract
Background and Aims: Artificial intelligence (AI) is a system that imitates human intelligence
to perform certain tasks and can re-learn by collecting processed information. This technology
can open a new era, especially in terms of in-pharmacy time costs. This study aims to measure
the perspective of community pharmacists in the central district of Edirne province on artificial
intelligence technology and the level of integration of this technology into their profession.
Methods: This descriptive survey study was conducted with 25 pharmacists in the central district
of Edirne. Pharmacists or pharmacist managers were included in the study by stating that they
volunteered to participate in the survey, verbally and in writing.
Results: According to the obtained results, when the Interest and Awareness part is examined,
positive answers constitute 50.1%, neutral answers 30.7, and negative answers 19.2%. When the
Usage Areas and Foresight part is examined, positive answers constitute 41.62%, while neutral
answers are 34.13% and negative answers cover 24.24%.
Conclusion: It is seen that pharmacists are interested in AI and awareness about AI is increasing
among pharmacists. On the other hand, the survey showed that there is concern among pharmacists
because of the changing job contents and creating employment problems.
