Abstract
Este trabajo de investigación tuvo como objetivo determinar nivel de conocimiento de los pacientes sobre su tratamiento farmacológico en un Hospital Nivel III de Trujillo durante el año 2023. Es un estudio descriptivo transversal. La muestra estuvo conformada por 308 pacientes, hombres y mujeres mayores de 18 años, que acudieron a la farmacia de consulta externa del hospital público nivel III de Trujillo para la atención con sus medicamentos. Se utilizó la encuesta como técnica para aplicar un cuestionario constituido por 11 preguntas, agrupada en 4 dimensiones: objetivo terapéutico, proceso de uso, seguridad y conservación, según el modelo de cuestionario de medida del conocimiento del paciente sobre su medicamento (CPM-PT) de Salmerón et al. La información recogida, se procesó y analizó utilizando el programa Microsoft Excel 2021, con un nivel de confianza del 95%. El 40.9% de la población estudiada fueron adultos de 35 a 59 años de edad, el 58.8% fueron de sexo femenino, el 51,9% pertenecen a la zona rural y el 42.9% presentan una instrucción de nivel secundario. El servicio de mayor atención de pacientes de consulta externa, fue el de dermatología con un 11.7%, seguido de neurología con 9,7%, endocrinología con 9.4% y medicina interna con 9.1%. El 62,0% de los pacientes presentaron un conocimiento insuficiente sobre su tratamiento farmacológico, el 31.5% no conocen su tratamiento farmacológico, el 5.5% presenta un conocimiento suficiente y solo el 1% presenta un conocimiento óptimo respecto a su tratamiento farmacológico. Se concluye que más del 90% de los pacientes encuestados no tienen conocimiento adecuado sobre su tratamiento farmacológico, que les permita completar con éxito su terapia, por lo que será necesario en el futuro, implementar intervenciones farmacéuticas según necesidades del paciente.
ABSTRACT The objective of this research was to determine the level of knowledge of patients about their pharmacological treatment in a Level III Hospital in Trujillo during the year 2023. It is a cross-sectional descriptive study. The sample consisted of 308 patients, men and women over 18 years of age, who went to the outpatient pharmacy of the level III public hospital of Trujillo to receive their medications. The survey was used as a technique to apply a questionnaire consisting of 11 questions, grouped into 4 dimensions: therapeutic objective, process of use, safety and conservation, according to the questionnaire model for measuring patient knowledge of their medication (CPM-PT) by Salmerón et al. The information collected was processed and analyzed using the Microsoft Excel 2021 program, with a confidence level of 95%. Of the population studied, 40.9% were adults between 35 and 59 years of age, 58.8% were female, 51.9% belonged to the rural area and 42.9% had secondary education. The service with the highest number of outpatients was dermatology with 11.7%, followed by neurology with 9.7%, endocrinology with 9.4% and internal medicine with 9.1%. Of the patients, 62.0% had insufficient knowledge of their pharmacological treatment, 31.5% did not know their pharmacological treatment, 5.5% had sufficient knowledge and only 1% had optimal knowledge of their pharmacological treatment. It is concluded that more than 90% of the patients surveyed do not have adequate knowledge about their pharmacological treatment, which allows them to successfully complete their therapy, so it will be necessary in the future to implement pharmaceutical interventions according to the patient's needs.
