药师在提高药物使用中起着至关重要的作用。患者咨询被认为是药剂师服务的一部分,例如向患者提供正确的、可理解的、适用的关于他们的药物和健康状况的信息,如剂型、剂量、持续时间、药物-药物相互作用和副作用。此外,了解既往病史和用药情况。因此,有证据表明,患者咨询在促进健康结果方面起着至关重要的作用。目的评价沙特阿拉伯患者咨询对健康结果的影响。我们于2015年2月15日至2015年5月14日在沙特阿拉伯进行了一项观察性研究。随机选取571例患者。数据通过在线调查(问卷)收集;该链接是通过谷歌Form Survey在网上随机发送的。这份问卷涉及不同类型的问题,包括大多数简单的问题和李克特类型量表。 Results A total number of 571 respondents completed the questionnaire. The majority (67.7%) of the respondents admitted that they benefited from pharmaceutical services. They believed that pharmaceutical services such as educating patients about their medications could improve patient health outcomes, while (32.3%) confessed that they did not get any benefit from these kinds of services. Unfortunately, most respondents stated that the pharmacist neither explained all possible side effects related to the medication nor ask about previous conditions and medications when assessing the patient’s drug therapy. Conclusion We concluded that patients who receive counseling from pharmacists about their medication and their health condition in both hospital outpatient, inpatient pharmacies and community pharmacy settings have much more benefit on health outcomes.
