This condition requires sufficient knowledge of health care professionals (HCPs) carrying for these patients. OBJECTIVE: To assess the awareness, practices and attitudes to DHRs among HCPs in Armenia and to identify main problems and take appropriate measures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The 23-item questionnaire covering 3 domains - knowledge, practice and attitude - was developed and applied in an anonymous survey. Data were analyzed according to specialty, experience, type of medical facility and regions using Pearson’s χ2 and Fisher’s exact tests.95.0 %) and the need to introduce a clear algorithm for managing these patients (99.5 %) are highlighted. CONCLUSIONS: Targeted educational programs are needed for better understanding of DHRs. The implementation of the national guidelines needs improvement.
