Abstract

Introduction: Like many other countries, Pakistan's healthcare system is divided into the public and the private sector. According to some studies and the mindset of many Pakistani people, private hospitals provide better services than government hospitals., Purpose: The paucity of research studies compelled us to compare the understanding of prescription among outpatients of the government and private hospitals since the understanding of prescription by the patient is an important patient care indicator according to WHO., Method: A cross sectional study was conducted by virtue of convenience sampling. The study included 365 patients; 182 from the government sector and 183 from the private sector. The study was conducted over a period of 3 months. A structured questionnaire was prepared to gather data that was analyzed using SPSS Version 22.0., Results: Patients from both government and private hospitals got no counseling while only 45.9% of the government hospital patients and 65.9% of private hospital patients were satisfied with the counseling they received. Our study concluded that the role of a pharmacist must be extended besides dispensing only, in counseling and educating patients to reduce the burden on the physicians and hospitals as well., Conclusion: It was concluded that although the patients of private hospitals scored somewhat better at answering the questions than the government hospital patients but they failed to hit the benchmark. Their slightly better results were attributed to higher education levels and better socioeconomic status rather than better services of the hospital., (Copyright © 2021 FECA.

Abstract

INTRODUCCIÓN.- Nuestro objetivo ha sido valorar el conocimiento que tiene el paciente del tratamiento prescrito por primera vez, en función de la información recibida en la consulta médica. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS.- Estudio observacional transversal, realizado en 10 oficinas de farmacia de las provincias de Albacete y Jaén del 1 de abril al 31 de mayo del 2009 entre pacientes o cuidadores que acudieron con un inicio de tratamiento. A dichos sujetos se les realizó una encuesta para cada uno de los medicamentos prescritos y los datos se analizaron con SPSS. RESULTADOS.- Tuvieron validez un total de 318 encuestas y, de éstas, sólo un 44% de los casos demostraron tener un total conocimiento del tratamiento. La intervención del farmacéutico fue requerida principalmente para aclarar posología (35,4%) y duración del tratamiento (33,9%). El grado de conocimiento aumentó cuando la información era escrita, apreciándose un aumento significativo si se acompañaba de oral, y cuando se la proporcionaba el especialista. Disminuyó a mayor edad del paciente y menor nivel de estudios. DISCUSIÓN.- El moderado conocimiento del tratamiento podría ser debido a la presión ejercida por la masificación de las consultas, que provocaría que el médico general no pueda atender al paciente el tiempo suficiente. Además, el paciente acude al especialista para ser tratado de patologías más graves y lo hace con menor frecuencia, lo que podría suponer que ponga mayor interés en conocer el tratamiento. El menor conocimiento de los ancianos se explicaría porque se trata de pacientes habitualmente polimedicados y con problemas cognitivos., INTRODUCTION.- Our aim has been to evaluate the knowledge that a patient has regarding a treatment newly prescribed, according to the information given in the medical consultation. METHODOLOGY.- Cross-sectional study, carried out in 10 community pharmacies of Albacete and Jaén, from 1st of April to 31st of May 2009. Data was obtained from a survey completed by the patients or their carers for each one of the new treatments started. Information obtained was analyzed with SPSS. RESULTS.- 318 valid surveys, only 44% of these cases proved a total knowledge of the treatment. Pharmacist intervention was mainly needed to clarify the dosage (35,4%) and the duration of the treatment (33,9%). The degree of knowledge increased when the information was given by a consultant and also when was written information. Moreover it was seen a significant increase of knowledge when written information was accompanied by verbal. In the other hand, it decreased in elderly patients and in them with lower level of education. DISCUSION.- The moderate knowledge of the treatment could be due to the limited time GP have for each patient. Also, patients normally attend to the consultant for more serious illness and less often, probably paying more attention to the information about the treatment prescribed. The lower level of knowledge in the elderly could be explained for the high number of medicines they take and the cognitive problems.
