1787/2013 - Atuação do farmacêutico na dispensação de medicamentos em Centros de Atenção Psicossocial Adulto no Município de São Paulo, SP Role of the pharmacist in dispensing in Adult Psychosocial Care Centers in São Paulo, SP
O presente estudo teve por objetivo avaliar a atuação do farmacêutico na dispensação de medicamentos. Para tanto, foi realizada pesquisa transversal exploratório-descritiva em oito Centros de Atenção Psicossocial (CAPS) Adulto do Município de São Paulo. Questionário semiaberto sobre o serviço de dispensação foi aplicado aos farmacêuticos responsáveis de cada unidade estudada. Foram selecionadas duas unidades CAPS Adulto das regiões Norte, Sul, Leste e Oeste do Município de São Paulo. A região central não dispõe de CAPS adulto, razão pela qual não fez parte do estudo. A maior parte dos entrevistados apresentou idade entre 35 e 40 anos, com predomínio do gênero feminino. Verificou-se que metade dos entrevistados realizou apenas 25% das dispensações e poucos fizeram a análise de todas as prescrições antes de dispensar o medicamento. Todos os respondentes entravam em contato com o prescritor na presença de algum problema relacionado ao medicamento. Entretanto, intervenções farmacêuticas não eram realizadas comumente. Ainda, um dos respondentes indicou que todas as suas funções na farmácia poderiam ser delegadas a outro profissional. Os dados reforçam a necessidade de ações que possibilitem o aprimoramento contínuo do farmacêutico para que este profissional esteja apto à prática clínica voltada aos pacientes com transtornos mentais.

Abstract:
The objective was to evaluate the role of the pharmacist in dispensing medications. We performed a cross-sectional exploratory-descriptive study in eight the Adult Psychosocial Care Centers (CAPS) in São Paulo. The pharmacists from the dispensing units answered a semi-structured questionnaire about the service provided. We selected two units Adult CAPS from each region of São Paulo: North Zone, South Zone, East Zone and West Zone. The central region has no CAPS, and was not included in the study. Most of respondents was aged between 35 and 40 years and predominantly female. We found that half of respondents performed only 25% of dispensations and few did an analysis of all prescriptions before dispensing. All respondents indicated to make contact with the prescriber in the presence of drug-related problems. However, pharmacist interventions were not performed often. Moreover, one respondent indicated that all its functions in the pharmacy could be assigned to other professionals. These results reinforce the need for actions that enable the continuous improvement of the pharmacist, for that this professional become able to the clinical practice directed for patients with mental disorders.
