To determine the perception and evaluation of the Emergency pharmacist by the medical and nursing staff at the Emergency department.
A multicenter study based on a survey sent to the Spanish Society of Hospital Pharmacists (SEFH) for Emergency pharmacists (EPh) to distribute among the Emergency staff. Descriptive statistics were used, with a 95% confidence interval.
102 (12%) questionnaires were completed by 73 Emergency Physicians (71.6%) and 29 Emergency Nurses (28.4%), out of 835 surveys sent. The most common pharmaceutical activities, and perceived as more relevant for patient safety, were: consultation solution, prescription validation, and medication reconciliation. 63% of respondents supported the prospective review of high-risk medications, while 89% believed that the Pharmacist improves the quality of care. EPh are considered useful for training healthcare staff and patients, and 77% of respondents considered them as an integral member of the team. They would resort more to Pharmacists if they were present at the hospital department.
The results show the acceptance of Hospital Pharmacists in the Emergency Department; their functions are known and valued. They are considered an integral member of the team, who will provide safety and improve patient care. Medication reconciliation and prescription validation are highlighted because of their relevance in terms of safety. Further studies are needed to assess health outcomes and their economic impact.
确定急诊科医护人员对急诊药师的认知和评价。
一项多中心研究，基于向西班牙医院药师协会（SEFH）发送的调查问卷，由急诊药师（EPh）分发给急诊科室工作人员。采用描述性统计方法，置信区间为95%。
在发放的835份调查问卷中，73名急诊医生（71.6%）和29名急诊护士（28.4%）共完成了102份（12%）问卷。最常见的药学活动，且被认为与患者安全最为相关的活动包括：会诊解决方案、处方验证和用药核对。63%的受访者支持对高风险药物进行前瞻性审查，而89%的受访者认为药师提高了护理质量。急诊药师被认为对培训医护人员和患者有用，77%的受访者将他们视为团队的重要成员。如果医院科室有药师在场，他们会更多地向药师求助。
结果显示医院药师在急诊科得到认可；他们的职能为人所知且受到重视。他们被视为团队的重要成员，将提供安全保障并改善患者护理。用药核对和处方验证因其在安全性方面的相关性而受到重视。需要进一步研究以评估健康结果及其经济影响。
