ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the cognitive level of proton pump inhibitors for the clinicians who prescribe these drugs often. Methods 10 cognitive latitudes for proton pump inhibitors were selected, which were receptor site, indication, indication of prophylaxis during perioperation, patients in contraindi-cated, high risk factors of stress ulcer, standard dose, daily dosing frequency, solvent selection for intrave-nous drip and main adverse reactions. Every cognitive latitude was assigned to points and one evaluation form was assigned 120 points. 175 clinicians participated the assessment voluntarily. Results Overall,the total average score is 58. 89. Each average score of 10 cognitive level is 10. 63, 1. 07, 6. 99, 5. 23, 3. 81, 11. 86, 11. 66, 3. 81, 7. 49 and 3. 81 respectively. The error rate is 10. 86％, 84. 57％, 45. 14％, 80. 00％, 59. 43％, 4. 00％, 2. 86％,80. 57％, 21. 71％ and 28. 00％ accordingly. Conclusions Over-all, the clinicians'cognitive level is low, while the senior doctors'are high in surgical prophylaxis;the physi-cians'are high in compatibility than surgeons ;the clinicians who used proton pump inhibitors ( PPI) more frequently are high in solvent selection for intravenous drip.
