Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To better carry out the pharmaceutical services in outpatient pharmacy,and provide reference for the safe,effective and rational drug use of outpatients. METHODS:Questionnaires were designed based on the related information pro-vided by consultation services of outpatient pharmacy in our hospital and referring to the related literatures to randomly select and investigate the patients of outpatient pharmacy in our hospital,and the results were statistically analyzed. RESULTS:There were to-tally 450 questionnaires,involving 417 valid questionnaires with the effective recovery of 92.67%. The questions about pharmaceuti-cal service of surveyed patients were dosage and precautions,respectively with the number of 254(60.91%)and 251(60.19%);followed by functions and indications,with the number of 234 (56.12%);besides,there were also with widespread concerns, such as drugs efficacy,medication time,and medication of elderly,children and pregnant women,etc. Among the surveyed pa-tients,20.75% were blind medication;89.45% thought the pharmacists’guidance was helpful for medication;there were still 21.35% without pharmacists’medication guidance. CONCLUSIONS:The survey shows the poor awareness of rational drug use and lacking knowledge of drugs in outpatients,they are eager for medication guidance from professional pharmacists. However,the pharmaceutical service in outpatient pharmacy needs to be improved. It is suggested to actively promote the pharmacy services by implementing points medication,adopting red and blue for warning labels,providing comprehensive drug counseling services and carrying out rational drug use education,etc.
