The authors sought to determine the effect of an educational seminar on interactions with pharmaceutical representatives on residents' attitudes and behavior.
A controlled trial of an educational intervention was conducted. Residents at a university-affiliated residency program (N=32) were divided into two groups: one group (N=18) received a 1-hour educational intervention, while the other group (N=14) served as a control. Both groups completed a 33-item survey before the intervention and 2 months after the intervention.
Residents interacted substantially with pharmaceutical representatives. The majority of residents found the interactions and gifts useful and believed their prescribing practices were not influenced. Compared to the comparison group, the intervention group significantly decreased the reported number of office supplies and noneducational gifts, but showed no change in attitude toward pharmaceutical representatives and their gifts.
One-time educational interventions may have significant impact on psychiatric residents' targeted gift-accepting behavior but little effect on attitudes.
作者试图确定一场关于与制药代表互动的教育研讨会对住院医师态度和行为的影响。
进行了一项教育干预的对照试验。一所大学附属医院住院医师培训项目的住院医师(N = 32)被分为两组:一组(N = 18)接受1小时的教育干预,另一组(N = 14)作为对照组。两组在干预前和干预后2个月都完成了一项包含33个项目的调查。
住院医师与制药代表有大量互动。大多数住院医师认为这些互动和礼物有用,并且相信他们的处方行为没有受到影响。与对照组相比,干预组报告的办公用品和非教育性礼物数量显著减少,但对制药代表及其礼物的态度没有变化。
一次性教育干预可能对精神科住院医师有针对性的收受礼物行为有显著影响,但对态度影响不大。
