Abstract:
Objective:To investigate outpatient's medicine knowledge and satisfaction degree and analyze their correlation.Method:150 outpatients,their doctors and pharmacists were investigated with a fieldwork method.Patients' medical knowledge and satisfaction degree were measured with a quantitative scale table,and their correlation was calculat- ed with a linear regression method.Result:Almost all the doctors and pharmacists could provide their patients with their guidance about medicines,which focused on drug dosage and taking ways.Fewer than 20% patients could take medical ad- vice of potential risks and notice of taking medicine.A significant correlation was shown between patient's medical knowl- edge and satisfaction degree(r=0.76).Conclusion:More guidance from doctors and pharmacists should be provided for outpatients.The medical knowledge learned by patients could influence patient's satisfaction degree significantly.
