Amaç: Advers ilaç reaksiyonları toplum sağlığını etkileyen önemli bir sorundur. Bu nedenle, pazarlama sonrası dönemde ilaç güvenliğinin yakından izlenmesi ve advers etkilerin bildirilmesi büyük önem taşımaktadır. Advers etkilerin sağlık çalışanları tarafından yetersiz bildirimi, farmakovijilans sisteminin gelişebilmesinin önünde önemli bir engel olarak görülmektedir. Eczacı, hastanın sağlık çalışanları ile iletişiminin son basamağını oluşturması ve kolaylıkla ulaşılabilir olması nedeniyle ilaç güvenliğinin izlenmesi ve advers etkilerin bildirilmesinde önemli sorumluluk taşımaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Kahramanmaraş ilindeki eczacıların farmakovijilans konusundaki bilgi ve tutumlarının incelenmesi ve farmakoepidemiyolojik açıdan veri tabanı oluşumuna katkı sağlanması amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Kahramanmaraş’ta görev yapan 200 eczacıya yüz-yüze anket uygulanmış ve anketi 190 eczacı cevaplamıştır. Anket; eczacıların sosyo-demografik özellikleri, farmakovijilans konusundaki bilgileri ve advers ilaç reaksiyonu bildirimi hakkında tutumları ile ilgili bilgi edinmeye yönelik sorulardan oluşmaktadır.
Bulgular: Ankete katılan eczacıların %20’si farmakovijilansı doğru olarak tanımlamıştır. Eczacıların %55.8’i son bir yıl içerisinde kendilerine advers etki şikayeti ile başvuru olduğunu belirtmiştir. Advers etki şikayetine en çok neden olan ilaç grupları arasında, antibiyotikler (%40.8), analjezikler (%16) ve kardiyovasküler ilaçlar (%12.8) bulunmaktadır. Ankete katılan eczacıların %55.8’i advers etkilerin bildirilmesi gerektiğini bilmelerine rağmen, sadece %8.4’ü bildirim yapmıştır. Bildirim yapmama nedenleri arasında; yeterli bilgiye sahip olmamak, gerekli olduğunu düşünmemek ve zamanın kısıtlı olması gibi nedenler yer almaktadır.
Sonuç: Elde ettiğimiz bulgulara göre, Kahramanmaraş’ta görev yapan eczacıların büyük bir kısmının farmakovijilans konusunda yeterli bilgiye sahip olmadığı ve advers etki bildiriminin düşük seviyede olduğu görülmüştür. Advers etki bildirimlerinin yeterli düzeye ulaşması için mezuniyet öncesi ve sonrası eğitim programları ile farmakovijilans konusundaki farkındalığın arttırılmasına ihtiyaç bulunmaktadır.

Objective: Adverse drug reactions are an important problem affecting public health. Therefore, close monitoring of drug safety and reporting of adverse effects in the post-marketing period is of great importance. Inadequate reporting of adverse effects by healthcare professionals is seen as an important obstacle to the development of the pharmacovigilance system. The pharmacist has an important responsibility in monitoring drug safety and reporting adverse effects, as it is the last step of the patient's communication with healthcare professionals and is easily accessible. This study, it is aimed to examine the knowledge and attitudes of pharmacists in Kahramanmaraş province on pharmacovigilance and to contribute to the formation of a pharmacoepidemiological database.
Material and Methods: A face-to-face questionnaire was applied to 200 pharmacists working in Kahramanmaraş and 190 pharmacists answered the questionnaire. Questionnaire; It consists of questions to obtain information about pharmacists' socio-demographic characteristics, their knowledge of pharmacovigilance, and their attitudes about adverse drug reaction reporting.
Results: 20% of the pharmacists who participated in the survey correctly defined pharmacovigilance. 55.8% of pharmacists stated that they had applied to them with complaints of adverse effects in the last year. Antibiotics (40.8%), analgesics (16%), and cardiovascular drugs (12.8%) are among the drug groups that cause the most adverse effects complaints. Although 55.8% of surveyed pharmacists knew that adverse effects should be reported, only 8.4% did. Among the reasons for not reporting; There are reasons such as not having enough information, not thinking it is necessary, and limited time.
Conclusion: According to the findings we obtained, it was seen that most of the pharmacists working in Kahramanmaraş did not have sufficient knowledge about pharmacovigilance, and the adverse effect reporting was at a low level. There is a need to increase awareness of pharmacovigilance with pre- and post-graduate education programs to reach a sufficient level of adverse effect reports.
