Resumo:
A presente pesquisa avaliou a efetividade de intervenções interdisciplinares, envolvendo médicos, farmacêuticos e nutricionistas, destinadas à promoção do Uso Racional dos Medicamentos. Trata-se de um estudo de caráter prospectivo e analítico, com uma população de mulheres idosas, onde a efetividade da intervenção foi avaliada de acordo com indicadores de Uso Racional dos Medicamentos preconizados pela Organização Mundial de Saúde. As análises estatísticas foram realizadas utilizando-se do teste t ou one-way ANOVA para variáveis discretas, e o teste de qui-quadrado para avaliação categórica das variáveis. Após a intervenção, houve uma redução média no consumo de medicamentos em relação às consultas da pré-intervenção (p=0,001). Os medicamentos utilizados na terapêutica cardiovascular foram os mais consumidos, o que se encontra em consonância com as doenças autoreferidas pelas idosas. Foi possível verificar que a intervenção interdisciplinar em idosas pôde contribuir para melhoria dos indicadores de Uso Racional dos Medicamentos, em especial os de prescrição.
Abstract:
The present research assessed the effectiveness of interdisciplinary interventions involving physicians, pharmacists and nutritionists, aimed to the promotion of the Rational Use of Drugs. It is about a study of prospective and analytical matter, with a population of elderly female, where the effectiveness of the intervention was assessed according to indicators of Rational Use of Drugs preconized by the World Health Organization. Statistical analysis was performed using the t test or the one-way ANOVA for discrete variables, as well as the chi-square test for categorical analyses. After the intervention, an average reduction in drug consumption was observed in comparison to the both consultations performed prior to the intervention (p=0.001). The drugs used in the cardiovascular therapeutic were the most consumed, what is in agreement to the elderly self-referred diseases. It was possible to verify that interdisciplinary intervention in the elderly was able to improve rational drug use indicators, especially those related to the practice of prescription.
