All patients admitted during a 6-month period to an inpatient geriatric rehabilitation unit were started on a medication education program incorporated into the rehabilitation program and utilizing existing staff. Patients were evaluated at admission, discharge, 90-day, and 1 year follow-up, using an 8-point medication knowledge scale. Of the 62 patients included in this study, at discharge 35 (group I, mean age 75.9) knew their medications and went home, 10 (group II, mean age 76.8) did not know their medications and went home, and 17 (group III, mean age 79.3) did not go home, whether they knew their medications or not. Mean length of stay (days) was: group I-30.9; group II-38.9; group III-33.3. This study describes a program for teaching an inpatient geriatric age group population self-medication management.
在6个月期间入住老年康复住院单元的所有患者都开始接受一项纳入康复计划并利用现有工作人员的用药教育计划。在入院、出院、90天和1年随访时，使用8分制用药知识量表对患者进行评估。在本研究纳入的62例患者中，出院时35例（第一组，平均年龄75.9岁）了解自己的药物并回家，10例（第二组，平均年龄76.8岁）不了解自己的药物但回家了，17例（第三组，平均年龄79.3岁）无论是否了解自己的药物都未回家。平均住院天数为：第一组30.9天；第二组38.9天；第三组33.3天。本研究描述了一项针对老年住院患者群体进行自我用药管理教学的计划。
