福建省农村老年人用药现状调查与分析

Investigation and analysis on medicine usage of the elderly in the rural areas of Fujian Province

采用问卷调查法对福建省农村老年人用药现状等进行调查分析,结果显示,农村老年人合并用药现象较为普遍,对药师及药学服务缺乏认知,用药行为受年龄、文化程度及收入等因素影响。建议通过建立健全农村医务人员培训机制、加强农村药师队伍的建设、加大卫生室(院)的投入、加强对老年用药者的关注与协助、制定老年人药物应用指南等途径,多角度提升农村老年人用药合理性及安全性。

Questionnaire of medicine usage was adopted to the elderly in the rural areas of Fujian Province. The survey results suggested that the phenomenon of drug combination among elders is common and elderly patients in rural areas have limited knowledge of pharmacists and pharmaceutical care. There were significant differences for medicine usage in different age, education and income groups. To promote the rational drug use for the elderly in rural areas, it is suggested to enhance the training of medical staff, the settling of pharmacist in rural areas, the investing in rural health room, medication attention on elders and to develop drug guidelines for elderly patients.
