“…The results demonstrated that most of the students were confused between the desire to resume their regular study and receive the appropriate clinical training and their concern about their own safety and the safety of their family members during this pandemic, similar concern was found in other studies [34,36]. It appears that most of the students were very scared of the disease so that they could not decide to resume their regular study, especially attendance of dental clinics where they would be expected to provide dental care to the patients.…”

“…It appears that most of the students were very scared of the disease so that they could not decide to resume their regular study, especially attendance of dental clinics where they would be expected to provide dental care to the patients. The fear of this novel disease and anxiety levels were the main obstacles in such situations [34,37,38,39]. However, most of them realized their professional responsibility toward the ful llment of this task.…”

BackgroundThe aim of the present study was to assess the psychological impact and awareness of the spread of coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) in Jordan among dental students at the University of Jordan, as well as assessing student attitudes toward dental learning during the lockdown period imposed by the government.MethodsThis study was conducted using a questionnaire that was electronically distributed to the largest possible number of Year 3, 4 and 5 dental students. 271 students participated in the survey (Year 3, n = 89, Year 4, n = 94, and Year 5, n = 88), with a response rate of 40.39%.ResultsResults indicated considerable psychological impact on dental students during the spread of the COVID-19 virus in Jordan, with a high degree of awareness among the students about COVID-19. Furthermore, there was positive feedback about the online learning experience of theoretical subjects but less so for practical and/or clinical subjects with a great deal of reluctance to resume their regular study, especially attendance of dental patient clinics.ConclusionResults of this study highlight the need for launching more awareness programs to reassure the dental students and to restore their confidence in the complete protective ability of the recommended precautions against the contraction of the disease.

“…Then we sent out private messages via WeChat that included a link to web-based questionnaire through an internet survey portal ( https://www.wjx.cn/ ). WeChat is the largest social media platform in China and has been widely used to distribute online surveys ( 30 , 31 ). Each WeChat account was allowed to answer the questionnaire once to avoid multiple response from the same participants.…”

“…The typical timestamps were determined by the time they spent on completing the questionnaire. This approach has been applied in previous studies ( 30 , 32 ). If the respondents submitted the same answers for all the PDDIs questions, then the questionnaire was excluded from the analysis.…”

Background: Drug interactions are the most common preventable cause of adverse drug reaction, which may result in drug toxicity or undesired therapeutic effect with harmful outcomes to patients. Given the rising use of combination therapies, the main objectives of this study were to estimate the degree to which physicians can identify potential drug-drug interactions (PDDIs) correctly and to describe the common source of information used by physicians when they need to check PDDIs.Methods: A cross-sectional survey utilizing a self-administered online questionnaire was conducted among physicians in China. Participants were asked to classify 20 drug pairs as “no interaction,” “may be used together with monitoring,” “contraindication,” and “not sure.” We also collected data on the physician's source of information and altitude toward the PDDIs. An ordinary least square regression model was performed to investigate the potential predictors of PDDI knowledge.Results: Eligible questionnaires were obtained from 618 physicians. The respondents classified correctly 6.7 out of 20 drug pairs, or 33.4% of the drug interactions investigated. The number of drug pairs recognized by respondents was ranged from 0 to 16. The percentage of physicians who recognized specific drug pairs ranged from 8.3% for no interactions between conjugated estrogens and raloxifene, to 64.0% for the interaction between dopamine and phenytoin. When the respondents want to check PDDI information, the most commonly used source of information was package inserts (n = 572, 92.6%), followed by the Internet or mobile Apps (n = 424, 68.6%), consultation with clinical pharmacists (n = 384, 62.1%), medical textbooks (n = 374, 60.5%), knowledge base in Chinese (n = 283, 45.8%), and other physicians (n = 366, 59.2%). In the multiple regression analysis, the significant predictors of a higher number of recognized drug pairs were years of practice and altitudes toward PDDIs.Conclusion: In this online survey accessing physician's ability to detect PDDIs, less than half of the drug pairs were recognized, indicating unsatisfactory level of knowledge about the clinically significant drug interactions. Continuing education and accessible electronic database can help physicians detecting PDDIs and improve drug safety.
