“…It is different from other types of risks (e.g. natural risks), and is closely related to how people are concerned about environmental problems (Götz et al, 2019). Believing that the natural environment is endangered by humans, and that there is a will to protect the nature given a high degree of uncertainty, severity of consequences and delay, are an individual's direct perception (Franzen and Vogl, 2013;Gattig and Hendrickx, 2007).…”

“…Their results proved accreditation as an important tool for improving standards of patient care. So focus on implementation accreditation standards in different health care settings as well as optimizing its measures is one of the most serious concerns of all health regulatory systems [19,20]. In this study we initially identified, influencing and effectiveness of criteria and sub -criteria on each other using fuzzy dematel method [21].…”

Introduction: Accreditation is an evaluating tool of health care systems especially in hospitals: Iran’s Ministry of Health emphasizes its importance. We attempted this descriptive study to classify medication management criteria of hospital accreditation standards using a hybrid approach of fuzzy DEMATEL based on ANP (FDANP). Methods: This study included all Iran’s hospitals. Nine medication management criteria and their sub-criteria were evaluated. AHP questionnaire was used for data collection. Results: The following were demonstrated to be effective: The standards of safe storage of drugs and medical equipment, and providing practical procedure for reporting and controlling medication errors. The other factors were affected by them: Continuous monitoring of drugs and medical equipment utilization was the most affected and not independent factors/standards. Conclusion: Focus should be made on effective standards and their related measures, not on standards affected by other factors/standards.

“…Currently there is a lack of information on how the general public perceives the environmental effects of pharmaceuticals, how much people know about them, and what is the level of concern and worry on the issue. The population perspective on pharmaceuticals and the environment has been studied more in terms of medicine disposal practices and attitudes [9][10][11][12], and only a few studies have focused on the risk perception and level of knowledge among the general public [13][14][15].…”

Attitudes and Considerations towards Pharmaceuticals-Related Environmental Issues among Finnish Population

A number of policy recommendations identify the general public as a key participant in environmentally sustainable pharmaceutical policies. However, research into pharmaceuticals-related environmental issues from the population perspective is scarce. We studied the awareness among Finnish adults (n = 2030) of pharmaceutical residues in Finnish waterways, their perceived environmental sources, views on pharmaceuticals-related environmental issues, and their association with background characteristics. Of the respondents, 89.5% were aware of the presence of pharmaceuticals in Finnish waterways. Wastewaters from the pharmaceutical industry were most frequently, and pharmaceuticals excreted by humans least frequently, considered a major environmental source of pharmaceuticals. The vast majority of the respondents were worried about the environmental and health impact of pharmaceutical residues and emphasized issues such as the importance of environmentally sustainable actions by pharmaceutical companies and the recyclability of the pharmaceutical packaging materials. Age, education, use of prescription medicines, and environmental attitude were associated with awareness of pharmaceutical residues, while gender, age, education level, and environmental attitude were associated most frequently with pharmaceuticals-related environmental considerations. These results indicate a need for improved communication about the environmental effects of pharmaceuticals and the significance of different pharmaceutical emission sources in order to promote a more environmentally friendly, effective pharmaceutical policy.
