Abstract

This study is designed to analyse the ability of patients admitted to ED to recall drugs they were using for chronic diseases, and any eff ects of multiple drug use and age on recall. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in the University-based ED. A total of 150 patients with chronic diseases were enrolled in the study. The relationship between recalling the drugs and age groups was analyzed by X2 test. Results: Responses to the question for which indications the patients were prescribed the drugs, indicated that 41.3% patients in the elderly group remembered all of the indications of the drugs accurately, while the corresponding rate was 58.7% of young individuals (p=0.001). 34% patients in the elderly group and 66% of young individuals remembered all of the drug doses they used accurately (p=0.000). 29.1% patients in the elderly group, vs. 70.9% of young individuals were able to remember the trade names of the drugs they used (p=0.000). Conclusion: Senility and usage of multiple drugs appear to have a negative eff ect on recall of drug names and dosages. (JAEM 2011; 10: 65-8)

Özet

Bu çalışma acil servise başvuran kronik hastalıkları için ilaç kullanan hastaların ilaçlarını hatırlayıp hatırlamadıklarını ve hatırlama üzerine çoklu ilaç kullanımının ve yaşın herhangi bir etkisi olup olmadığını araştırmak amacıyla düzenlenmiştir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışma bir üniversite hastanesinde yapılmıştır. Çalışmaya kronik hastalığı olan toplam 150 hasta dahil edilmiştir. İlaçların hatırlanması ve yaş grupları arasındaki ilişki X2 testi kullanılarak hesaplanmıştır. Bulgular: Hastalara hangi endikasyon için ilaç kullanıyorsunuz diye sorulduğunda yaşlı gruptaki hastaların %41.3’ü, genç gruptaki hastaların %58.7’si tüm endikasyonları doğru olarak hatırladılar (p=0.001). Yaşlı gruptaki hastaların %34’ü, genç gruptaki hastaların %66’sı kullandıkları ilaçların dozlarının hepsini doğru olarak hatırladılar (p=0.000). Yaşlı gruptaki hastaların %29.1’i, genç gruptaki hastaların %70.9’u kullandıkları ilaçların özel isimlerinin tamamını doğru olarak hatırladılar (p=0.000). Sonuç: Yaşlılık ve çoklu ilaç kullanımı ilaçların isimlerini ve dozlarını hatırlamada negatif bir etkiye sahip olduğu görünmektedir. (JAEM 2011; 10: 65-8)
