KHẢO SÁT SỰ HÀI LÒNG CỦA NHÂN VIÊN Y TẾ ĐỐI VỚI CÁC DẠNG THUỐC SEVOFLURANE ĐANG LƯU HÀNH TẠI VIỆT NAM

Abstract

Background: Sevoflurane is one of the most common used anesthetic agents. The satisfaction of medical staffs with sevoflurane forms in Vietnam is an important criterion in drug selection. Objectives: Survey of health professionals’ satisfaction with available forms of sevoflurane in Vietnam. Methods: The multi-center study investigated the satisfaction of anesthesiologists and anesthesia technicians towards sevoflurane’s different forms in 5 hospitals in Vietnam. Overall satisfaction for a particular drug was assessed based on satisfaction index and importance index on each criterion for each respective drug on a 5-level Likert scale. Results: Surveying 96 anesthesiologists and 118 anesthesia technicians, the study noted that the satisfaction score for brand name sevoflurane was higher than generic drug for both anesthesiologists (4.29 versus 3.67, p = 0.000) and anesthesia technicians (3.83 versus 3.17, p = 0.000). Considering each individual criterion, a similar picture is also noted, except for the criterion of drug price, in which there is no statistical difference in satisfaction score between sevoflurane brand-name and generic in both anesthesiologists and anesthesia technicians. Conclusions: Anesthesiologists and anesthesia technicians' satisfaction with the brand-name sevoflurane was higher than generic in all criteria (except for drug price) and overall score.
