Journal Title: Indonesian Journal of Clinical Pharmacy - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Pharmacy is one of facilities for pharmacist to do a pharmaceutical care. It has been reported that 50% of patients failed to receive a treatment properly because of error in prescription and dispensing practices. Pharmacist has to be more involved in patient-oriented of pharmaceutical care. This study was conducted to evaluate pharmaceutical care in Apotek Pendidikan Universitas Padjadjaran (Unpad) Bandung from July–October in 2017, by assessing several factors in drugs dispensing using WHO patient indicators instrument. This cross-sectional study was conducted with a minimum sample size of 20 patients. The indicators that we used based on WHO assessment were average consultation time, dispensing time, percent of drugs that can be delivered, percent of labeling, and knowledge of dosage. The results showed that the average of consultation time was 99.03 s, average of dispensing time was 264 s, percentage of delivered drug was 97.18%, and 100% of correctly labeled drugs. Patients’ knowledge about their drug was only 17.07%, and consultation time varied from 10 to 370 s, compared with recommended time which is 60 s. Patients’ knowledge about dose was only 21.17%. Pharmaceutical care in Apotek Pendidikan Unpad Bandung could be assessed by WHO indicators and can be seen that patients’ knowledge of drug dose was influenced by type of disease which is degenerative and nondegenerative diseases, while time of drug administration and correct drug labeling was influenced by type of prescription of patients that is prescription of compounded medicine or non-compounded medicine. Pharmacists need to increase their service time so that patients can receive the drug quickly. Low patient’s knowledge is also expected to increase by drug information service and counseling.
