Gaziantep İlinde Yaşlı Hastalarda Akılcı İlaç Kullanımı

Year 2019, Volume: 2 Issue: 2, 30 - 35, 31.08.2019

Abstract

Amaç: Kronik hastalık oranı yaşla birlikte artmaktadır.
Yaşlı hastalarda uzun süreli ilaç tedavilerine uyum oranı da azalmaktadır.
Bununla birlikte, tedavinin başarısı ilacı akılcı olarak kullanıma da bağlıdır.
Bu çalışmanın amacı kronik hastalığı olan yaşlı hastaların ilaç kullanım
alışkanlıkları hakkında veri toplamaktır.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya özgü anketler, kardiyoloji,
kardiyovasküler cerrahi, nöroloji ve iç hastalıkları polikliniğini ziyaret eden
65 yaş üstü hastalara eğitimli tıbbi görüşmeci tarafından uygulandı.
 

Bulgular: Hastaların %31’i (59 kadın ve 55 erkek)
mevcut kronik hastalık dışındaki nedenlerle ilaç kullanırken, %68'i reçetesiz
olarak vitamin içeren ilaçları kullanıyordu. Katılımcıların %26’sı,
doktorlarına sormadan reçeteli ilaçlar almayı bıraktığı ve %39'u ise unutkanlık
nedeniyle ilaç alımını durdurmuştu. Hastaların %85'i son bir ay içinde bir veya
daha fazla ilaç kullanırken, yaklaşık %49'u günde en az 4 ilaç kullanıyordu.
İlaç kullanım sayısı eğitim durumuna göre değerlendirildiğinde, okuma yazma
bilmeyenlerin %51'i ve üniversite mezunlarının %23'ü günde 4 ya da daha fazla
ilaç kullanıyordu.

Sonuç: Çalışmamızın sonuçları, 65 yaş üstü kronik
hastalığı olan hastaların günde en az 4 ilaç aldığını ve tezgah üstü kullanımın
yüksek olduğunu ortaya koydu. Yaşlı hastalar, akılcı ilaç kullanımı konusunda
bilgili değildi. Bu bulgular akılcı ilaç kullanımını geliştirmek için
popülasyon temelli eğitim ve bölgesel ihtiyaçlara göre uyarlanmış takip
programlarının uygulanması gerektiğini göstermektedir.

Rational Drug Use in Geriatric Patients in the County of Gaziantep

Year 2019, Volume: 2 Issue: 2, 30 - 35, 31.08.2019

Abstract

Aim: The incidence
of chronic diseases increases with advancing age. On the other hand, as people
get older, the rate of adherence to long-term therapeutic regimens decreases.
However, the success of any treatment depends on adherence to medication.
The aim of this study was to collect data on the patterns of medication use in
older patients with chronic diseases.

Material and
Methods: 
Study-specific surveys were administered by trained
medical interviewers to geriatric patients who visited the cardiology,
cardiovascular surgery, neurology, and internal medicine outpatient clinics.

Results: Of 114 patients
(59 women and 55 men) enrolled in the study, 31% used drugs for reasons other
than their current chronic conditions, whereas 68% used over-the-counter
vitamin supplements. Twenty-six percent of the patients stopped taking
prescribed drugs without consulting their physicians and 39% stopped due to
forgetfulness. While 85% of the patients used one or more drugs in the previous
month, approximately 49% used at least 4 drugs per day in the same period. When
drug consumption was assessed based on educational status, it was found that
51% of those who were illiterate and 23% of the university graduates used 4 or
more drugs per day.

Conclusions: The results of
our study revealed that geriatric patients with chronic diseases took at least
4 drugs per day and the frequency of over-the-counter medication use was high.
They were not knowledgeable about rational drug use. These findings suggest
that population-based education, and follow-up programs tailored according to
regional needs should be implemented to improve rational drug use.
