Abstract

Background Awareness of PHARMACISTS about COUNTERFEIT DRUGS is necessary for health improvement in community. The purpose of the present study is to assess the KNOWLEDGE and measure the professional ATTITUDE and PRACTICE of IRANian pharmacist about COUNTERFEIT DRUGS. In August 2008, a KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDE and PRACTICE (KAP) study was performed in a national sample of 794 PHARMACISTS who participated in an IRANian Pharmacist Association congress. A questionnaire was prepared to collect Demographic and professional characteristics, KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDE and PRACTICE of PHARMACISTS regarding COUNTERFEIT DRUGS. The mean percent of participants who answer each PRACTICE questions correctly is 13.62% and none of questions have more than 14.7% of correct answer, while the participants’ ATTITUDE towards the subject is at high level. None of demographic factors represented a significant relationship with KNOWLEDGE and the only related parameters with ATTITUDE, were age and gender. Increasing age of PHARMACISTS resulted in ATTITUDE improvement (p=0.013) and women›s ATTITUDEs were better than men (p=0.05).The only related parameters with PRACTICE, were the number of working hours per a week and ATTITUDE. Increasing the number of working hours per a week, resulted in decreasing the desirable PRACTICE (p=0.041) and ATTITUDE also had a direct relationship with PRACTICE (p=0.011). Conclusion The most important finding in the present study was the PHARMACISTS› low KNOWLEDGE and PRACTICE level about COUNTERFEIT DRUGS, while their ATTITUDE towards this subject was at a high level. The results point out the need for designing and implementing educational programs.
