OBJECTIVE:To investigate outpatients' cognition(including knowledge,attitude and behavior)on adverse drug reactions(ADR),and to analyze the influential factors of ADR cognition.METHODS:An on-the-spot questionnaire survey was conducted in which a total of 488 outpatients sampled from our hospital from May to December in 2007 were investigated and the data analyzed statistically.RESULTS:The correct rate was 36.6% for the questions related to cognition on ADR.70.5% of the patients investigated had a poor cognition on ADR.The factors influencing patients' cognition on ADR included educational background,ADR experience,pharmacists' guidance on medication,source of medicine knowledge,occupation,doctors' guidance on medication,community ADR lecture,and gender.CONCLUSION:The outpatients have a poor cognition on ADR.Both doctors and pharmacists should offer guidance on medication and give lecture in community to inform patients the knowledge about rational administration and ADR.
