This study analyzed potential drug interactions (PDIs) of antimicrobials used in patients of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and identified associated factors. The sample consisted of 70 patients admitted to a hospital in São Paulo. The PDIs were analyzed through the consultation of the Drug Interactions Facts and Drug Interactions Handbook. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression were used. Half of the sample was exposed to 13 PDIs, which occurred with fluconazole (53.8%), ciprofloxacin (30.8%) and sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (15.4%). Most (92.3%) were of moderate severity, with good evidence (61.6%), early delayed effect (61.5%) and need to have their therapy monitored (76.9%). Patients with four or more medications (pEl estudio analizó interacciones medicamentosas potenciales (IMP) de antimicrobianos usados en pacientes sometidos a trasplante de células madre hematopoyéticas e identificó los factores asociados las IMP.

Este estudo descritivo, fundamentado na abordagem de resultados proposta por Donabedian, teve como objetivo avaliar o nível de satisfação de pacientes oncológicos com o atendimento recebido no Ambulatório de Quimioterapia de Adultos do Hospital São Paulo. A amostra incluiu 105 pacientes que aceitaram participar do estudo. A avaliação dos usuários foi positiva, tanto com o atendimento de enfermagem (54% muito bom e 46% bom), quanto com o atendimento global do serviço (50% muito satisfeitos e 46% satisfeitos). O nível de satisfação manifestado pelos usuários relacionou-se, principalmente, com a acessibilidade organizacional, o ambiente acolhedor e o processo assistencial nas dimensões da interação profissional/cliente e do desempenho técnico. No entanto, apontaram como medidas necessárias, evitar a falta de drogas e aumentar o número de vagas.Este estudio descriptivo, fundado en el abordaje de resultados propuesto por Donabedian, tuvo como objetivo evaluar el nivel de satisfacción de pacientes con cáncer con la atención recibida en el Ambulatorio de Quimioterapia de Adultos de Hospital São Paulo. La muestra incluyó 105 pacientes que aceptaron participar de la investigación. La evaluación de los usuarios fue positiva, tanto con la atención de enfermería (54% muy buena y 46% buena), cuanto con la atención general del servicio (50% muy satisfechos y 46% satisfechos).El nivel de satisfacción manifestado por los usuarios se relacionó, principalmente, con la accesibilidad organizacional, el ambiente acogedor y el proceso asistencial en las dimensiones de la interacción profesional/cliente y del desempeño técnico.

The sample was constituted of 105 patients who accepted to participate in the study. The patients' evaluation was positive both with nursing care (54% very good and 46% good) and with the overall care received in that service (50% very satisfied and 46% satisfied). The level of satisfaction manifested by the clients was related mainly to the organization accessibility, the welcoming environment and the assistance process, in its professional/client interaction and the technical performance dimensions. However, they also pointed out the need for measures aimed at preventing drugs shortage and the lack of vacancies for new patients.

This study analyzed potential drug interactions (PDIs) of antimicrobials used in patients of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and identified associated factors. The sample consisted of 70 patients admitted to a hospital in Säo Paulo. The PDIs were analyzed through the consultation ofthe Drug Interactions Facts and Drug Interactions Handbook. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression were used. Half of the sample was exposed to 13 PDIs, which occurred with fluconazole (53.8%), ciprofloxacin (30.8%) and sulfamethoxazole- trimethoprim (15.4%). Most (92.3%) were of moderate severity, with good evidence (61.6%), early delayed effect (61.5%) and need to have their therapy monitored (76.9%). Patients with four or more medications (p<0.001), aged between 40-49 years of age (p <0.001), and being male (p<0.001) were associated with PDIs. A PDI may result in adverse outcomes, impacting patients' morbidity and mortality. Combination regimens can be safe, provided there is careful monitoring by professionals involved in care delivery.
