TI  - Evaluation of the Nurses’ Knowledge Levels of Food-Drug
Interaction and Some Other Influencing Factors:
A Cross-Sectional Study
AB  - Objective: To determine the knowledge levels of nurses
on food-drug interaction (FDI) at a university hospital and to identify
other relevant variables that affect their knowledge of FDI. Material
and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 243 nurses
working at a university hospital between November 2019 and January
2020. “A scale to determine the level of FDI knowledge in health care
professionals” was used to determine the nurses’ knowledge level of
FDI. For statistical analysis, descriptive statistics, t-test and one-way
ANOVA test were used. Results: Among the nurses, 21.4% had low,
39.5% medium, 31.7% good, and 7.4% very good knowledge level of
FDI. There was no significant relationship between the nurses’ FDI
knowledge levels and nurses’ gender, age groups, education level, total
working duration in the profession, whether they chose the profession
willingly, participation in any training after graduation, and whether
they know the person who is legally responsible for this situation when
an FDI occurs (for each; p>0.05). Nurses who do not put the drug hours
at the same time with the foods that may interact to avoid FDI and who
use academic databases on FDI had higher knowledge of FDI (for each;
p<0.05). Conclusion: In conclusion, 78.6% of the nurses had a moderate or higher level of knowledge on FDI. In practice, it was seen that
not giving the drugs and foods that may interact at the same time and
using academic databases increase the knowledge level of the nurses’
FDI.
