摘要

处方错误是常见的,在写处方的过程中的每一步都有可能出错。这些错误可以广泛地归结为缺乏知识或缺乏技能。易读性差、书写不准确、处方不完整、遗漏和使用缩写是最常见的错误类型。目的:本研究的主要目的是评估处方的完整性和易读性。这是为了估计基于技能的错误率。本研究的次要目的是使用儿科:处方遗漏和不适当处方(POPI)工具评估处方的适宜性。方法:这是一项横断面研究,在印度新德里一家三级教学医院的儿科门诊部进行。根据世界卫生组织《良好处方指南》和印度医学委员会的准则,收集和评估了在普通和特殊儿科诊所就诊的门诊病人收到的处方。结果:共评估处方343张,其中开药753种。总共发现了1709个与处方完整性有关的错误。处方以研究生实习生(206张)居多,其次为老年住院医师(61张)、咨询医师(42张)和初级住院医师(20张)。53.64%的处方在提及药品名称时使用缩略语。所有处方的平均易读评分为3.35分。根据国际POPI工具,发现40张(11.66%)处方不合适。结论:易读性和完整性在很大程度上被忽视,但对“处方写作艺术”至关重要。他们应该像处方药物的适当性一样得到更多的认识和教育。国际POPI工具是一种很有前途的工具来分析儿科处方的适当性。

How well are we prescribing medications to our children?
Introduction: Prescription errors are common and every step in the process of writing a prescription has the potential for error. These errors can be broadly attributed to the lack of knowledge or lack of skill. Poor legibility, inaccuracy in writing, incomplete prescriptions, omissions, and use of abbreviations are the most common type of errors. Objectives: The primary objective of our study was to assess the completeness and legibility of the prescriptions. This is to estimate the rates of skill-based errors. Secondary objective of this study was to assess the appropriateness of the prescriptions using the pediatrics: Omission of Prescriptions and Inappropriate prescriptions (POPI) tool. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study, conducted in the pediatric outpatient department of a tertiary teaching hospital in New Delhi, India. Prescriptions received by outpatients attending both the general and special pediatric clinics were collected and evaluated using the World Health Organization Guide to Good Prescribing and the Medical Council of India guidelines. Results: A total of 343 prescriptions were assessed, in which 753 drugs were prescribed. A total of 1709 errors were uncovered pertaining to the completeness of the prescription. A majority of the prescriptions were written by postgraduates trainees (206), followed by senior residents (61), consultants (42), and junior residents (20). Abbreviations were used while mentioning the drug names in 53.64% prescriptions. The mean legibility score of all prescriptions was 3.35. Forty (11.66%) prescriptions were found inappropriate as per the International POPI tool. Conclusion: The legibility and completeness are largely overlooked yet crucial to the “Art of Prescription Writing.” They deserve as much awareness and education as the appropriateness of the drugs prescribed. The international POPI tool is a promising tool to analyze the appropriateness of pediatric prescriptions.
