ABSTRACT

Introducción: Un CIM está destinado a proporcionar información para promover el uso racional de medicamentos. Su principal actividad es resolver consultas. Los usuarios de los CIM colegiales son fundamentalmente farmacéuticos comunitarios. Éstos deben dirigir su práctica a la Atención Farmacéutica: dispensación, consulta farmacéutica, seguimiento farmacoterapéutico..., actividades orientadas al paciente y relacionadas con el uso racional del medicamento. Hay, pues, una gran coincidencia entre el propósito de los CIM y el de estas actividades. Luego, cuando un CIM es empleado de manera racional por sus usuarios, la mayoría de sus consultas deberían relacionarse con la Atención Farmacéutica. Objetivo: Establecer si las consultas efectuadas al CIM de Bizkaia están relacionadas con la Atención Farmacéutica. Métodos: Se ha elaborado una tabla que relaciona la temática de las consultas con la AF y se han analizado con esta herramienta las consultas efectuadas en 2001, procesando los datos con Microsoft Excel®. Resultados: De las 10.929 consultas recibidas, 8.866 (81,12%) estaban relacionadas con la AF, en 558 (5,11%) no pudo determinarse si existía relación, debido a la metodología del estudio empleada, y 1.505 (13,77%) versaron sobre otros temas, las más numerosas sobre nutrición y dietética (16,50%). Conclusión: Dada la coincidencia de los objetivos de un CIM con los de la Atención Farmacéutica y la relación existente entre las consultas que se reciben en el CIM de Bizkaia y la Atención Farmacéutica, puede deducirse que un CIM puede ser un recurso importante para el desarrollo de esta modalidad de práctica en la farmacia (AU)


Introduction: The goal of a Drug Information Center (DIC) is to supply information intended to foster a rational use of drugs. Its main activity is to solve queries about drugs. The users of the Pharmacists’ Asociations DICs are basically community pharmacists. The latter should focus their daily practice towards the pharmaceutical care, that is, dispensing, pharmaceutical consultation, pharmacotherapy follow-up… All of these activities are patient focused and closely related to the rational use of drugs. Therefore, the goal of the DICs and those of the fomer activities come together in a great extent. Hence, when DIC users make a rational use of this service, most of their information queries should be related to pharmaceutical care issues. Objective: To establish if the drug information queries addressed to the Biscaian DIC are related to pharmaceutical care. Methods: A table was built where the subject of the queries were linked with pharmaceutical care. This instrument was used to evaluate all the queries addressed to the DIC throughout the 2001 year and data were analized with Microsoft Excel®. Results: During this year, the Biscaian DIC received 10929 drug information queries. Overall, 8866 (81,12%) were related to pharmaceutical care and additionally there was not posible to establish a direct relationship with pharmaceutical care in another 558 queries (5,11%) due to problems with the methodology used.1505 (13,77%) queries were related to other issues, mainly about nutrition and dietetics (16,50% of the latter). Conclusion: As the objectives of a DIC collate with those of pharmaceutical care, along with the fact that the queries received in the Biscaian DIC are related with pharmaceutical care, we can conclude that a DIC can be a core resource for the development of this kind of pharmacy practice (AU)
