Resumo:
A compreensão da prescrição de medicamentos é essencial para o sucesso terapêutico. Com o objetivo de identificar a associação entre os indicadores de prescrição e o perfil do paciente à compreensão de prescrições de medicamentos de pacientes atendidos no SUS do município de Tubarão/SC, foi realizado um estudo transversal por meio de entrevista. Coletou-se informações sobre o perfil dos usuários do Serviço, indicadores da prescrição médica da Organização Mundial da Saúde e sobre a compreensão da prescrição. Os fatores associados foram identificados através do teste qui-quadrado. Foram entrevistados 300 sujeitos. Entre os entrevistados 59,3% conseguiam ler a prescrição ou sabiam o nome dos medicamentos, 80,7% conheciam a indicação, 73,7% sabiam a dose, 72,3% sabiam a frequência entre as doses e 72,7% conheciam a duração do tratamento. No entanto, compreenderam totalmente a prescrição 46,3% (IC 95%: 40,6-52,2) dos entrevistados. Verificou-se que dos indicadores de prescrição apenas o número de medicamentos está associado à compreensão (0,044), por outro lado, a idade do paciente menor que 49 anos (<0,001), ter estudado mais que oito anos (<0,001), pertencer a classe econômica C1 ou superior (<0,001) e ser mulher (0,008) associam-se de forma significativa com a compreensão da prescrição. Portanto, a compreensão da prescrição depende principalmente do perfil dos usuários.

The factors were identified using the Chi-square test. Three hundred subjects were interviewed. Of the respondents, 59.3% were able to read the prescription or knew the drug names, 80.7% knew the drug indication, 73.7% knew the dosage, 72.3% knew the dosing intervals and 72.7% knew the duration of treatment. However, only 46.3% (IC 95%: 40.6-52.2) of the respondents fully understood the prescription. Between the prescriptions indicators only the number of drug (0.044) in prescriptions was significantly associated with understanding. On the other hand, having up to eight years of schooling (<0.001), belonging to C1 socioeconomic class (<0.001), being until 49 years old (<0.001) and being woman (0.008) were significantly associated with the understanding of drug prescription.
