ABSTRACT

Introducción: La modificación de los usos y actitudes de los demandantes de dispensación de medicamentos que precisan receta médica sin presentarla, es un campo donde el farmacéutico comunitario, desde su responsabilidad profesional, puede contribuir a obtener importantes resultados en la consecución de su uso correcto.Objetivo: Evaluar el resultado de la intervención del farmacéutico en la demanda de medicamentos (ibuprofeno y paracetamol) sin presentar receta médica en presentaciones que la requieren. Método: Diseño: estudio experimental transversal aleatorizado con intervención farmacéutica mediante educación sanitaria.Emplazamiento: nueve farmacias de Pontevedra y Ourense. Octubre-noviembre de 2019.Participantes: usuarios de la farmacia que solicitaban sin receta presentaciones de paracetamol o ibuprofeno que la requerían.Mediciones principales: número de solicitudes, problemas de salud y motivos, aceptación o no de una alternativa de medicamento sinreceta (MSR).Resultados:Se registraron 424 peticiones, 303 (71,5%) aceptaron la dispensación del MSR. Ibuprofeno 600 mg fue el principio activo más solicitado (73,3%) y la automedicación el principal motivo de petición sin receta (89,9%). Entre los problemas de salud referidos destacó el dolor de cabeza (22,9%). No se encontraron diferencias significativas entre el resultado de la intervención y el medicamento solicitado, el sexo, el motivo, ni el problema de salud que originó la solicitud. Sí entre edad de los pacientes, medicamento solicitado y resultado de la intervención. 30 (14,2%) pacientes fueron derivados al médico.Conclusiones:La actuación del farmacéutico en el cambio a un medicamento sin receta logró una alta aceptación por los pacientes, lo que contribuye a su uso adecuado.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Evaluar en las farmacias comunitarias (FC) gallegas la prevalencia de la no adherencia terapéutica en diabetes e hipertensión arterial, identificando factores relacionados con el incumplimiento y la percepción de los pacientes sobre su tratamiento. Métodos: Estudio transversal descriptivo, aleatorizado, realizado en agosto y septiembre de 2016. Se seleccionaron pacientes mayores de edad, en tratamiento con hipoglucemiantes y/o antihipertensivos que llevaban al menos dos meses con la misma pauta terapéutica. Se midió el incumplimiento mediante la administración de tres cuestionarios: Batalla, Haynes-Sacket y Morisky-Green, en una hoja de recogida de datos que incluía los tres, además de las características demográficas de los pacientes. Resultados: Participaron 31 FC en 27 farmacias, que recogieron 1.588 (muestra necesaria: 1.537) cuestionarios válidos: 778 (49,0%) mujeres y 810 (51,0%) hombres, de edad media 67,6±11,1 años. El número de pacientes incumplidores al menos en uno de los tres tests fue de 1.245 (78,4%). El incumplimiento medio resultó del 42,6%. La percepción de los pacientes sobre su tratamiento fue negativa en el 35,6%. El 51,0% desconoce las complicaciones de su enfermedad, el 33,1% olvida tomar su medicación y el 29,5% no cree que los medicamentos que tienen prescritos sean los adecuados. Conclusiones: El incumplimiento de las pautas terapéuticas de DM y HTA en Galicia es elevado, afectando casi a la mitad de los pacientes. Mal conocimiento sobre la enfermedad, menor nivel de estudios, polimedicación, situación pensionista (mayor edad) y percepción negativa sobre sus medicamentos parecen relacionarse con una peor prevalencia del incumplimiento de los tratamientos (AU)


Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of therapeutic noncompliance in diabetes and arterial hypertension in Galician community pharmacies (FC), identifying the factors associated with patients' non-adherence and perception of their treatment. Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive, randomized study conducted in August and September 2016 among adult patients receiving treatment with hypoglycemic and/or antihypertensive drugs for at least two months with the same treatment regimen. Noncompliance was assessed with the administration of three questionnaires: Batalla, Haynes-Sacket y Morisky-Green, in one page of data collection that included the three questionnaires, as well as the demographic data of each patient. Results: 31 community pharmacies participated in 27 pharmacies and collected 1,588 (sample size: 1,537) valid questionnaires: 778 (49.0%) females and 810 (51.0%) males, aged 67.6±11.1 years on average. The number of non-compliant patients at least in one of the three tests was 1,245 (78.4%). The average noncompliance was 42.6%. Treatment perception was negative for 35.6% of patients. 51.0% of patients ignore the complications of their illness, 33.1% forget to take their medication, and 29.5% do not believe their prescribed medications are suitable. Conclusions: Noncompliance with the therapeutic guidelines for diabetic and hypertension medication in Galicia is high and affects nearly half the patient population. Poor knowledge of the disease, lower level of education, multiple medication, pensioner age (elderly) and negative perception of medications seem to correlate with a higher prevalence of treatment noncompliance (AU)

ABSTRACT

Only one study evaluated the scientific activity in community pharmacies in Spain, and it was restricted to articles published in just two journals. Objective: To assess the scientific activity in community pharmacies in Spain through a bibliometric analysis of the original papers published during the years 1995-2005. Methods: IPA, MEDLINE, CSIC database and the journals Seguimiento Farmacoterapéutico y Pharmaceutical Care España were used as data sources. Production indicators, consumption indicators and the impact factor (IF) as a repercussion index were analyzed. Results: 122 articles were included in the review. The articles were published in 12 journals, 78.7% of them in Pharmaceutical Care España and Seguimiento Farmacoterapéutico. The mean number of authors per article was 4.2 (SD=2.1). The transitivity index was 71.3%. The total number of references cited in the articles was 2110. The mean number of references per article was 17.3 SD=9.3. The value of the insularity index was 57.6%. Self citation was 6.8% and the Price index was 66.5%. No impact factor was available for 6 journals. Conclusions: Publication of articles on community pharmacy-based research in Spain has undergone an important increase in the last 5 years. The existence of authors who publish very few studies, the high insularity index and the lack of randomized, controlled trials may be considered as negative indicators in community pharmacy-based research in Spain (AU)


Sólo existe un estudio bibliométrico conocido sobre investigación en farmacia comunitaria en España, y estaba centrado en los trabajos publicados únicamente en dos revistas. Objetivo: Evaluar la actividad científica en investigación en farmacia comunitaria en España realizando un análisis bibliométrico de los artículos originales publicados entre los años 1995-2005. Métodos: Se utilizaron como fuentes de datos IPA, MEDLINE, la base de datos del CSIC y las revistas Seguimiento Farmacoterapéutico y Pharmaceutical Care España. Se analizaron indicadores de producción, indicadores de consumo e indicadores de repercusión de los artículos publicados. Resultados: Se incluyeron 122 artículos en la revisión. Los artículos fueron publicados en 12 revistas, el 78,7% en Pharmaceutical Care España y Seguimiento Farmacoterapéutico. El número medio de autores por artículo fue 4,2 (DE=2,1). El índice de transitoriedad fue de 71,3%. El número total de referencias encontradas en los artículos fue de 2110 (17,3 DE=9,3 por artículo). El índice de aislamiento fue de 57,6%, el porcentaje de autocitación de 6,8% y el índice de Price de 66,5%. No se pudo estudiar el FI de 6 revistas. Conclusiones: La publicación de artículos de investigación en la farmacia comunitaria en España ha experimentado un crecimiento importante en los últimos 5 años. La existencia de autores que publican muy poco, el elevado índice de aislamiento y la falta de estudios experimentales controlados y aleatorizados pueden considerarse como indicadores negativos de la investigación en farmacia comunitaria en España (AU)
