Abstract

Population aging has become a global phenomenon. The aging population is in grim situation, and chronic disease prevalence rate is very high in China. In addition, the demand growth for medical service results in more home medication treatment. Therefore, drug undeserved risk for elderly patients also increases, which need more attention. In this paper, the problem of improper use of drugs for elderly people was investigated and analyzed, which could provide a reference for regulating the elderly family medication and reducing the risk of drug use. The questionnaire survey was conducted among 120 elderly people, and 83 of them were followed up. The elderly population in the family is not with standardized medication, over 60% of the elderly have strong randomness, inappropriate medication and safety hazards. Statistic difference existed between drug with long and short time for safety evaluation and. Irrational drug use can increase the adverse effects of drugs, which can cause some damage to the elderly health, and even increase the risk of death.

老年人药物滥用隐患调查与研究

人口老龄化已经成为一个全球性的现象。中国人口老龄化形势严峻，慢性病患病率居高不下。此外，医疗服务需求的增长导致更多的家庭药物治疗。因此，老年患者的药物不正当风险也在增加，需要引起更多的关注。本文对老年人用药不当问题进行调查分析，为规范老年人家庭用药，降低用药风险提供参考。对120名老年人进行问卷调查，并对其中83人进行了随访。家庭中老年人群用药不规范，60%以上老年人用药随机性强，用药不当，存在安全隐患。长、短时间药物的安全性评价存在统计学差异。不合理用药会增加药物的不良反应，对老年人健康造成一定损害，甚至增加死亡风险。
