90% of residents will not be reasonable

In 2012, the national health literacy monitoring data showed that the proportion of residents with basic medical literacy, including rational drug use, was only 9.56%, and the proportion of residents who could read the drug instruction correctly was about 15%.

At present, China's drug safety is still in a period of high risk and highlights contradictions. Various types of drug-related events occur from time to time, and there are major hidden dangers in public drug safety. "Nine percent of residents will not use drugs rationally" is by no means alarmist, and it is worthy of our wake-up call.

Safe drug use is related to the people's physical health and life safety. There must be no slightest sloppyness. On the one hand, the government must formulate relevant policies and regulations, strengthen the management and regulation of the behaviors of medical institutions and medical personnel, improve the rules and regulations for clinical use of drugs, carry out propaganda and dissemination of knowledge about rational drug use, guide the public to establish a rational use of drugs, and improve the rational use of drugs by the public. Knowledge and skills. On the other hand, hospitals and medical personnel should improve awareness and ability of rational drug use, regulate the provision of medication services, and actively carry out health education on the rational use of medicines for patients and their families in the process of disease diagnosis and treatment, and publicize the basic drug system and explain reasonableness. Medication knowledge.

The author believes that the publicity and popularization of knowledge about safe drug use should be strengthened and normalized. The public should be properly guided to use drugs rationally and safely to improve the ability of the public to know, understand, and recognize fakes, and strive to create a good atmosphere for everyone to care about and pay attention to drug safety. It is an important duty that the current drug regulatory authorities and medical institutions must constantly strive for.

How to achieve the normalization of propaganda of safe medication knowledge? The most crucial thing is to vigorously strengthen the construction of propaganda positions and propaganda teams in accordance with the principle of “close to reality, being close to people’s lives, and being close to the people” and through the daily use of safe drug knowledge propaganda activities to form “everybody attaches great importance to medicines and everyone cares about the safety of medicines”. The good atmosphere.

Specifically, the author suggests that the "Ten One" model can be adopted. “One column”: Set up propaganda columns in communities, villages, enterprises, schools, medical institutions and other units with a relatively concentrated population, and periodically replace the publicity content. "One book": The Drug Safety Science E-book is installed on the website of the drug regulatory agency for the public to read. "One volume": Prints easy-to-understand pamphlets on drug safety knowledge and is distributed to the public free of charge. “One painting”: On the eve of the Spring Festival each year, the New Year pictures with the knowledge of drug safety printed are distributed to urban and rural families for posting. “One Talk”: The establishment of a lecturer group on drug safety will be conducted in a planned manner in townships and streets, and publicity materials will be distributed to guide the clearing up of family medicine kits. “One show”: A series of drug safety literary shows will be held at the city, county, township and village (community) levels to allow the masses to be educated in song and laughter. “A dish”: The production of authentic discriminative drugs discriminates CDs and sends them to rural areas, communities, schools and other places to broadcast. "One lesson": In conjunction with the education sector, combined with health education, a special health education section on "drug safety" is set up in primary and secondary schools. “One Card”: Drug safety supervision and liaison cards will be issued to urban and rural residents, and the ways and telephones for reporting illegal cases of pharmaceuticals will be disclosed, and a supervision network for the entire society will be established. “A Cabinet”: Set up counterfeit drug display cabinets at retail pharmacies as a point of publicity for safe drug use and an inspection and fraud counterpoint.

Only the propaganda of safe drug knowledge is normalized, the public's safe drug use and scientific drug knowledge can be popularized, and the self-safeguarding awareness, participation awareness, and supervision awareness of the people's drug consumption can be enhanced, and the good atmosphere of the whole society concerned with supporting drug safety work can be formed. .
