ABSTRACT

Resumo O tabagismo é um problema de saúde pública, está associado a uma elevada morbimortalidade. Os serviços de saúde vigentes para a cessação tabágica, apesar de efetivos, apresentam alcance limitado e foram comprometidos pela pandemia. O estudo teve como objetivo analisar o cuidado com a pessoa tabagista em João Pessoa (PB), na pandemia de COVID-19. Foi realizado um estudo descritivo, exploratório e quantitativo com duas fases: levantamento dos indicadores de saúde e avaliação dos perfis sociodemográficos dos profissionais e usuários dos serviços nos anos do estudo. Participaram da pesquisa sete profissionais, coordenadores de grupo de tabagismo e 20 usuários. Os resultados apontaram para uma baixa cobertura do programa, além de revelar queda no número de fumantes atendidos na pandemia, de 419 em 2019 para 129 em 2020. As entrevistas identificaram pontos positivos e limitações do programa, boa efetividade e baixo acesso, especialmente na APS, e que as estratégias utilizadas para conter o consumo do tabaco e seus riscos durante a pandemia partiram dos serviços e dos profissionais envolvidos. É possível concluir que, nessa região, o Programa Nacional de Controle do Tabagismo (PNCT) apresenta implantação incipiente na APS e que, durante a pandemia, o número de serviços ofertados foi reduzido, diminuindo a procura e as ações realizadas.


Abstract Smoking is a public health problem associated with high morbimortality. Smoking cessation services, although effective, have limited reach and have been compromised by the pandemic. This study aimed to analyze the care for smokers in João Pessoa (PB), Brazil, during the COVID-19 pandemic. A descriptive, exploratory, and quantitative study was conducted in two phases: a survey of health indicators and an evaluation of sociodemographic profiles of professionals and service clients during the study years. Seven professionals, smoking group coordinators, and 20 clients participated in the research. The results showed low program coverage, with a declining number of smokers treated during the pandemic, down from 419 in 2019 to 129 in 2020. Interviews identified the program's positive aspects and limitations, good effectiveness, and low access, especially in primary health care. Tobacco consumption and risk reduction strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic originated from services and professionals involved. We can conclude that the National Tobacco Control Program has an incipient implementation in primary health care in this region and that the number of services offered was reduced during the pandemic, decreasing demand and actions.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Pharmacists and their pharmacies have been evolving in their roles as health promoters in Brazil. Some examples are the recent legislation reaffirming the role of Brazilian pharmacies as health institutions, rather than having only a commercial profile, giving greater clarity to pharmacists about their roles as health care providers. This evolution came with the recognition that is already seen in other developed countries, confirming the need for the pharmacist as a health promoter, and not simply a dispenser of drugs in society. This study has obtained the profile and activities of community pharmacists, as well as the quality indicators of private community pharmacies throughout the State of Paraná through the application of an online survey sent to pharmacists in the state. Out of all pharmacists surveyed, 533 were part of the final analysis, being the pharmacists to complete the survey in full. Participants were mostly female (69.4%) and were, on average, 35.2 ± 9.2 years old. Of these, 60% worked in pharmacy chains and just 37% of all pharmacist respondents were issuing the Declaration of Pharmaceutical Services. The current study showed that many pharmaceutical services are not adopted by pharmacies as these services bring no significant financial reward. Regarding the structure, the Paraná State showed that pharmacies present a good overall structure. The kind of pharmacy (chain or independent) influenced the pharmaceutical services provided and the available structure, where the independent pharmacies provide a wider range of services and have better structure. This study was able to identify the profile and behaviors of pharmacists and also the quality indicators of pharmacies in Paraná State.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objectives: this observational study aimed to describe the discrepancies identified during medication reconciliation on patient admission to cardiology units in a large hospital. Methods: the medication history of patients was collected within 48 hours after admission, and intentional and unintentional discrepancies were classified as omission, duplication, dose, frequency, timing, and route of drug administration. Results: most of the patients evaluated were women (58.0%) with a mean age of 59 years, and 75.5% of the patients had a Charlson comorbidity index score between 1 and 3. Of the 117 discrepancies found, 50.4% were unintentional. Of these, 61.0% involved omission, 18.6% involved dosage, 18.6% involved timing, and 1.7% involved the route of drug administration. Conclusion: this study revealed a high prevalence of discrepancies, most of which were related to omissions, and 50% were unintentional. These results reveal the number of drugs that are not reincorporated into the treatment of patients, which can have important clinical consequences.


RESUMO Objetivos: este estudo observacional teve como objetivo descrever discrepâncias encontradas na realização de conciliação medicamentosa de pacientes admitidos em unidades de cardiologia de um hospital de grande porte. Métodos: a história de medicação dos pacientes foi coletada dentro de 48h após a admissão, e as discrepâncias, identificadas como intencionais ou não intencionais, foram classificadas como de: omissão, duplicidade, dose, frequência, intervalo e via. Resultados: a maioria dos pacientes incluídos pertençia ao sexo feminino (58,0%), com idade média de 59 anos, e com índice de comorbidades de Charlson entre 1 e 3 (75,5% dos casos). Das 117 discrepâncias encontradas, 50,4% foram não intencionais. Dessas, 61,0% foram de omissão, 18,6% de dose, 18,6% de intervalo e 1,7% de via de administração. Conclusão: o estudo mostra a alta prevalência de discrepâncias, principalmente de omissão, sendo quase metade não intencionais. Esse dado remete ao número de medicamentos que não são reincorporados ao tratamento dos pacientes, podendo repercutir em consequências clínicas importantes.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical pharmacist interventions performed during the review of prescription orders of the Adult Intensive Care, Cardiologic Intensive Care, and Clinical Cardiology Units of a large tertiary teaching hospital in Brazil. METHODS: The analysis took place daily with the following parameters: dose, rate of administration, presentation and/or dosage form, presence of inappropriate/unnecessary drugs, necessity of additional medication, more proper alternative therapies, presence of relevant drug interactions, inconsistencies in prescription orders, physical-chemical incompatibilities/solution stability. From this evaluation, the drug therapy problems were classified, as well as the resulting clinical interventions. RESULTS: During the study, a total of 6,438 drug orders were assessed and 933 interventions were performed. The most prevalent drug therapy problems involved ranitidine (28.44%), enoxaparin (13.76%), and meropenem (8.26%). The acceptability of the interventions was 76.32%. The most common problem found was related to dose, representing 46.73% of the total. CONCLUSION: Our study showed that up to 14.6% of the prescriptions reviewed had some drug therapy problem and the pharmacist interventions have promoted positive changes in seven to ten of these prescriptions.

MÉTODOS: A análise de prescrições foi realizada diariamente com avaliação dos seguintes parâmetros: dose, intervalo de administração, apresentação e/ou forma farmacêutica, presença de medicamentos inapropriados/desnecessários, necessidade de medicamento adicional, alternativas terapêuticas mais adequadas, presença de interações medicamentosas relevantes, inconsistências nas prescrições, incompatibilidades físico-químicas/estabilidade da solução. A partir dessa avaliação, os problemas relacionados aos medicamentos foram classificados, bem como as intervenções farmacêuticas resultantes, conforme estabelecido pelo manual de farmácia clínica do hospital. RESULTADOS: Durante o estudo, um total de 6.438 prescrições foi avaliado e foram realizadas 933 intervenções farmacêuticas. Os medicamentos mais envolvidos nos problemas foram: ranitidina (28,44%), enoxaparina (13,76%) e meropenem (8,26%). A aceitação das intervenções foi de 76,32%. O problema mais comumente encontrado foi relacionado à dose, representando 46,73% do total. CONCLUSÃO: Até 14,6% das prescrições avaliadas apresentaram algum problema relacionado a medicamentos. As intervenções farmacêuticas promoveram mudanças positivas em sete a cada dez dessas prescrições.
