Synthetic cannabinoid or "Bonzai" use is a public health issue as its use has increased in Turkey as well as all over the world. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the "Synthetic Cannabinoids Seminar" that was provided to physicians who work in emergency services, using multiple choice questionnaires before and after the seminar as a tool for evaluation.
Synthetic cannabinoids seminars were provided to physicians who work in emergency services in two different cities, with the participation of 20 physicians in each scheduled seminar. The seminars were instructed by emergency medicine specialists and psychiatrists who were certified as an instructor by the Turkish Ministry of Health, after receiving an instructor course in synthetic cannabinoids. In order to measure basal knowledge levels of the participants, a pretest was performed for all participants before the seminar. After the seminar, a posttest was performed using the same questions in the pretest. The number of correct answers in both tests was then compared.
In total, 85 individuals attended the seminars; 29 individuals from Dumlupınar University Evliya Çelebi Training and Research Hospital constituted first group, and 56 individuals from Denizli State Hospital constituted second group. In both groups, the ratios of correct answers in the posttest were determined to be higher when compared to the pretest.
The seminars on synthetic cannabinoids are useful and necessary for physicians.
合成大麻素或“盆栽”的使用是一个公共卫生问题，因为其在土耳其以及全球的使用量都有所增加。本研究的目的是通过在研讨会前后使用多项选择题问卷作为评估工具，来评估为急诊服务医生提供的“合成大麻素研讨会”的效果。
在两个不同城市为急诊服务医生举办了合成大麻素研讨会，每次预定研讨会有20名医生参加。研讨会由在接受合成大麻素讲师课程培训后获得土耳其卫生部认证的急诊医学专家和精神科医生授课。为了测量参与者的基础知识水平，在研讨会前对所有参与者进行了预测试。研讨会结束后，使用预测试中的相同问题进行了后测试。然后比较两次测试中正确答案的数量。
共有85人参加了研讨会；来自杜姆卢平纳尔大学埃夫利亚·切莱比培训与研究医院的29人组成第一组，来自代尼兹利州立医院的56人组成第二组。在两组中，后测试中正确答案的比例与预测试相比都更高。
合成大麻素研讨会对医生来说是有用且必要的。
