To develop a brief intervention and to assess the feasibility of pharmacy-delivered education on opioid safety and overdose prevention in the emergency department.
A convenience sample of patients (n = 102) approached between May and June 2016 at a single community-based suburban emergency department located in the Midwest.
The intervention included scripted counseling to be delivered in person and 2 educational brochures. The counseling took approximately 5 minutes, and only 2 patients refused the counseling. All the patients were satisfied with the intervention, and 97.4% of them reported that the counseling improved their knowledge of opioid side effects. The majority of patients thought that their own risk of addiction was significantly less than the general public's risk of addiction when taking opioids.
This study provides preliminary evidence that student pharmacists or pharmacists are able to deliver opioid safety and overdose education in the emergency department.
开展一项简短干预措施,并评估在急诊科由药剂师提供阿片类药物安全及过量用药预防教育的可行性。
2016年5月至6月期间,在位于美国中西部的一个社区郊区急诊科选取了102名患者作为便利样本。
干预措施包括亲自进行的书面咨询以及两份教育手册。咨询大约需要5分钟,只有2名患者拒绝咨询。所有患者对干预措施均感到满意,97.4%的患者表示咨询提高了他们对阿片类药物副作用的认识。大多数患者认为自己服用阿片类药物时成瘾风险明显低于普通公众。
本研究提供了初步证据,表明学生药剂师或药剂师能够在急诊科开展阿片类药物安全及过量用药教育。
