2005年国际护士节主题

In a 2004 Gallup survey 0n the h0nesty and ethical standards 0f vari0us pr0fessi0ns, nurses t0pped the list f0r the fifth year 0ut 0f six. But public c0nfidence in health care pr0fessi0nals and health systems is being er0ded by c0unterfeit medicines. Patient health is being put at risk and we str0ngly believe that the time t0 act is n0w. C0unterfeit medicines are unsafe and ineffective.They result in wasted res0urces spent 0n purchasing, invent0ry, transp0rt and dispensing with little 0r n0 effect 0r even with disastr0us patient 0utc0mes such as p0is0ning, disability and death.

This year‘s IND theme 0f Nurses f0r Patient Safety: Targeting C0unterfeit and Substandard Medicines is the launch and centrepiece 0f an ICN led multi-sect0r campaign including 0ther health pr0fessi0ns, patient gr0ups, industry and regulat0rs. The campaign aims t0:

Increase awareness 0f the existence and c0nsequences 0fc0unterfeit medicines.

Pr0vide t00ls t0 identify c0unterfeit drugs and t0 rep0rt anysuspici0us medicines.

Enc0urage nurses and 0ther health pr0fessi0nals t0 l0bby g0vernments and regulat0ry auth0rities f0r attenti0n t0 the existence and dangers 0f c0unterfeit and substandard

medicines.

Nurses are 0n the fr0ntlines 0f health, administering and 0ften prescribing medicines, particularly in primary health care settings. We are well p0siti0ned t0 m0nit0r drug effects and side effects and must be vigilant f0r signs 0f c0unterfeiting such as impr0per packaging and labelling. Nurses als0 have a key r0le in educating the public ab0ut the dangers 0f buying medicines thr0ugh the Internet 0r 0n the streets fr0m unauth0rized s0urces.
