摘要

不正确和不完整的书面处方的问题可能导致分配错误和护理的意外结果。该研究的目的是评估手写处方的易读性以及在扎里亚Ahmadu Bello大学教学医院遵守世卫组织处方书写指南的情况。方法:采用横断面前瞻性研究设计,选取扎里亚Ahmadu Bello大学教学医院住院和门诊药房的现有处方。这是由该机构的伦理和研究委员会批准的。然后根据处方的布局、易读性和细节的清晰度来评估处方的质量,并筛选药物错误。结果:以仿制名开具处方的比例为68.37%,易读率中等,详细说明药物、给药途径和疗程的处方比例分别为85.23%、80.80%和82.40%。处方中有医生签名(84.87%)。许多开处方者未在处方上注明患者的体重、年龄和临床情况,这些都是偏离良好处方的行为,总用药错误为38.01%。结论:开处方者对其患者有注意义务,对其同事(药剂师)有专业义务,以确保药物处方易于识别。使用印刷或电子处方等介入技术可以提高解读信息的便利性,减少用药错误。

Assessment of Legibility of Handwritten Prescriptions and Adherence to W.H.O. Prescription Writing Guidelines in Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital Zaria - Kaduna State, Nigeria.

Introduction: The issues of incorrectness and incompleteness for written prescriptions may result to dispensing errors and unintended outcomes of care. The objective of the study was to assess the legibility of handwritten prescriptions and adherence to W.H.O. prescription writing guidelines in Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital Zaria. Method: A cross-sectional prospective study design was used, and existing prescriptions were sampled from selected in-patient and outpatient pharmacy units of Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital Zaria. This was approved by the ethics and research committee of the institution. The prescriptions were then evaluated for quality based on the layout, legibility, and clarity of the details in the prescriptions and screened for medication errors. Result: The extent of prescribing drugs by generic name was (68.37%), the legibility percentage was moderate and the percentage of prescriptions in which details of the drug, route of administration, and duration of treatment were complete was 85.23%, 80.80%, and 82.40%, respectively. The doctor's signature (84.87%) was present in the prescriptions. Many of the prescribers did not use to indicate patients' weight, age, and clinic on prescriptions, these are deviations from good prescribing practices while total medication error was 38.01%. Conclusion: Prescribers have a duty of care to their patient and a professional duty to their colleagues (pharmacists) to ensure drug prescriptions are readily identifiable. Interventional techniques such as the use of printed or electronic prescriptions can improve the ease of interpreting information and reduce medication errors.
