[Rational use of benzodiazepines in insomnia : development of an information quiz for the hospital staff at the « Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc »] Introduction. The role of the pharmacist is central to reduce the use of benzodiazepine. A campaign was initiated by the clinical pharmacists and the center of sleep at Saint-Luc in 2011. Its goal is to rationalize the use if benzodiazepines in insomnia by means of a protocol: to avoid the prescription of benzodiazepines, to promote the non-pharmacological measures applicable to the hospital in the first instance and, if necessary, to prescribe a small dose of benzodiazepine indicated in insomnia. Aims and Objectives. This project, for the staff of Saint-Luc, aims to reactivate the campaign: to raise awareness of the problem of sleeping pills, inform about the rational management of insomnia in the hospital, promote the protocol and to evaluate staff’s current knowledge of the protocol. Methods. A quiz for all staff was put on the intranet for a week. The quiz offers multiple-choice questions related to sleeping pills, their risks and adverse effects, insomnia management and protocol. Detailed answers are provided after each question. Results. 150 participants responded to the quiz, of which 18% were medical staff, 49M were health workers, and 33% were support staff. The majority of participants had good knowledge of sleeping pills (correct answers: 66.7% on risks and undesirable effects, 93.33% able to cite at least one non-pharmacological alternative) but few participants (23%) heard of the campaign of 2011. Conclusion. This study shows that the staff of the hospital are aware of the problem of sleeping pills. However, it is important to re-campaign to promote the protocol and avoid the first-time prescription of benzodiazepines during hospitalization. Introduction. Le rôle du pharmacien est central pour diminuer la surconsommation des benzodiazépines. Une campagne a été instaurée par les pharmaciens cliniciens et le Centre du Sommeil aux Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc en 2011. Son but est de rationaliser l’usage des benzodiazépines dans l’insomnie, par le biais d’un protocole : éviter la prescription de benzodiazépines en 1ère intention, promouvoir les mesures non-pharmacologiques applicables) l’hôpital, prescrire si besoin une benzodiazépine à petite dose indiquée dans l’insomnie. Objectifs. Ce projet destiné aux membres du personnel de Saint-Luc vise à réactiver la campagne : sensibiliser à la problématique des somnifères, informer sur la gestion rationnelle de l’insomnie à l’hôpital, promouvoir le protocole et évaluer les connaissances actuelles du personnel vis-à-vis du protocole. Méthodes. Un quiz visant tout le personnel a été mis sur l’intranet durant une semaine. Le quiz propose des questions à choix multiples en lien avec les somnifères, leurs risques et effets indésirables, la gestion de l’insomnie et le protocole. Les réponses détaillées sont fournies après chaque question. Résultats. 150 participants ont répondu au quiz dont 18% font partie du personnel médical, 49% du personnel soignant et 33% du personnel de support. La majorité des participants ont une bonne connaissance des somnifères (réponse correctes : 66.7% sur les risques et effets indésirables, 93.33% capables de citer au moins une alternative non pharmacologique) mais peu de participants (23%) ont entendu parler de la campagne de 2011. Conclusion. Cette étude montre que les membres du personnel de l’hôpital sont sensibilisés à la problématique des somnifères. Cependant, il est important de refaire une campagne pour promouvoir le protocole et éviter la primo-prescription des benzodiazépines durant l’hospitalisation.
