Article Synopsis
- - The study assesses registered nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and awareness regarding food-drug interactions (FDIs) through a survey conducted at Hamad General Hospital in Qatar, involving 227 participants and 50 multiple-choice questions.
- - While nurses demonstrated strong knowledge (90%) about FDIs related to certain medications, they had limited awareness of interactions with drugs like carvedilol and furosemide, with only 42.3% regularly educating patients on FDIs.
- - The findings suggest that despite a generally satisfactory self-assessment of FDI knowledge (56.4%), there is a need for improved training and awareness among nurses to enhance patient care and medication safety.
