To determine how nurses handled drug-related questions in the work environment of a teaching hospital in Malaysia and the type of information sources they used.
Questionnaires were distributed in August 1996 to nurses working in various wards. The majority of respondents were staff nurses. They rated their patients as the most common category of individuals with drug-related inquiries.
About 58% of nurses said the most common source of reference text available at the workplace was the Drug Index of Malaysia and Singapore (DIMS) and that it was the text most of them used to answer drug-related inquiries. Although the majority of them knew the existence of a drug information centre at the hospital, 73% of nurses referred to pharmacists working in satellite pharmacies to solve drug-related inquiries.
This survey also showed that nurses sought information on drugs from various sources and that satellite pharmacies served an important purpose in this respect.
确定马来西亚一家教学医院工作环境中护士如何处理与药物相关的问题以及他们所使用的信息来源类型。
1996年8月向各病房工作的护士发放问卷。大多数受访者为注册护士。他们将患者列为药物相关咨询最常见的人群类别。
约58%的护士表示工作场所最常用的参考文本来源是《马来西亚和新加坡药物索引》(DIMS),且这是他们大多数人用于回答药物相关咨询的文本。尽管大多数护士知道医院设有药物信息中心,但73%的护士会向卫星药房工作的药剂师咨询以解决药物相关问题。
本次调查还表明,护士从各种来源获取药物信息,在这方面卫星药房发挥了重要作用。
