A QUESTIONNAIRE BASED STUDY ON PERCEPTION OF DOCTORS WORKING IN A TERTIARY CARE TEACHING HOSPITAL TOWARDS THEIR PROLONGED STAY DUTIES IN HOSPITALS, ADR REPORTING TENDENCY, GENERIC DRUG PREFERENCES AND THEIR LIFESTYLE.
Doctors need to do prolonged stay duties on their duty days. This study aimed to evaluate the opinion of Doctors regarding prolonged stay duties. Doctors need to report Adverse Drug Reactions to the ADR monitoring centres. There are recommendations worldwide to prescribe generic name of drugs. Researchers suggest regular physical exercises. So, this study aimed to analyse the Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR) experiences and attitude of doctors towards ADR reporting, their preference to generic/brand names and to assess life style of the doctors. So, a questionnaire based study was done among the doctors working in a teaching hospital. 64% of the doctors opined that the chances for diagnostic and treatment errors are more during prolonged stay duties. Only 1% of the doctors who witnessed Adverse Drug Reactions did ADR reporting. 57.48% of the doctors prefer only brand drugs. 54.79% of doctors are not doing any regular physical exercise.
