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.
- Detailed Description
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.
