BACKGROUND
Emergency preparedness and disaster management are global phenomena that have a significant impact on the economy and healthcare system. Pharmacists have assumed additional responsibilities in the wake of emergencies and disasters that are beyond their training curricula. Some research highlighted the need for pharmacists to assume these responsibilities in the cause of emergency and disaster. The objective of this study is to evaluate pharmacists' knowledge in relation to emergency preparedness and disaster management.
METHOD
A descriptive cross-sectional survey was carried out from April to August 2020, on selected pharmacists from different areas of practice in Kaduna/Nigeria. Participants were evaluated using a self-reported questionnaire which consisted of 15 knowledge questions that were distributed online using pharmacists' social-media platforms. The questionnaire was adapted from previous studies and was validated by the team of expect using face validation and pre-tested.
MAIN OUTCOME
The majority of pharmacists have good knowledge of emergency preparedness and disaster management.
RESULTS
The online poll received 102 respondents, and their knowledge was evaluated by rating respondents out of 15 questions. 55%, 40%, and 5% scored good, fair, and poor knowledge respectively. At p<0.05, there was a relationship between knowledge score and years of practice experience, level of education, and area of practice. 44% reported being taught emergency, with the majority at the undergraduate level. 78% of respondents have never participated in drills or workshops.
CONCLUSION
Pharmacists demonstrated good knowledge of basic emergency and disaster terms, they do, however, need to be more conversant with other emergency areas, which necessitates more training and drills.
背景
应急准备和灾害管理是全球性现象，对经济和医疗保健系统有重大影响。在紧急情况和灾害发生后，药剂师承担了超出其培训课程的额外责任。一些研究强调了药剂师在紧急和灾难情况下承担这些责任的必要性。本研究旨在评估药剂师在应急准备和灾害管理方面的知识。
方法
2020 年 4 月至 8 月，在尼日利亚卡杜纳不同实践领域的选定药剂师中进行了描述性横断面调查。参与者使用自我报告问卷进行评估，问卷由 15 个知识问题组成，通过药剂师的社交媒体平台在线分发。问卷改编自以前的研究，并由研究团队使用面对面验证和预测试进行验证。
主要结果
大多数药剂师对紧急准备和灾害管理有很好的了解。
结果
在线投票收到了 102 名受访者的回复，他们的知识通过对 15 个问题的评分来评估。55%、40%和 5%的受访者分别获得了良好、中等和较差的知识评分。在 p<0.05 时，知识评分与实践经验年限、教育水平和实践领域之间存在关系。44%的人报告说接受过紧急情况的教育，其中大多数人在本科阶段接受过教育。78%的受访者从未参加过演习或研讨会。
结论
药剂师对基本紧急和灾害术语有很好的了解，但他们需要更熟悉其他紧急领域，这需要更多的培训和演习。
