摘要

Objective To assess public understanding of medicine safety, approach to risks and preferences in accessing safety information. Methods Qualitative data were obtained from an online survey (n = 1079) covering four major themes around side effects and risks of medicines:willingness to accept side effects of medications, information seeking, sufficiency of information and understanding pharmacovigilance process. Comparisons were made for age, gender and social/financial status. Key findings Most respondents acknowledged medications were associated with side effects. If side effects were experienced, most (73%) would seek advice from their doctor or pharmacist. Four in 10 respondents felt doctors and pharmacists do not provide sufficient information about medications, even though many (47%) relied on their doctor to provide this. Although 51% felt that pharmaceutical companies were already providing enough information to patients, 95% responded that extra effort could still be made. Two-thirds of the respondents felt it was the companies' responsibility to educate doctors and pharmacists so they could pass the information on, even though younger respondents preferred direct communication to patients compared to older respondents ( 65 years, 10%;P < 0.001). Men were more willing to accept risks, while women were more likely to seek information about their medicines. Understanding of the role of pharmaceutical companies and government in maintaining the safety of medicines was generally poor. Conclusions There is an ongoing need for consumer education regarding medicine safety. Doctors and pharmacists remain the more trusted source of information. Pharmaceutical companies play an important role in ensuring such information is both accessible and accurate.
