초록
The patients in the regions without separation of prescribing and dispensing practicein Korea do not have sufficient opportunities for drug education due to the shortage of hospitalsand pharmacies. Especially, most of residents in these areas are elderly people whose cognitionand understandings have been gradually declined, which may contribute to low awareness andsuboptimal compliances of current medication. According to some studies, suboptimal complianceson current medication of patients can lead to increase in drug-related problems (DRPs),medical cost, hospitalization rate, and mortality rate. However, there have been few studiesrelated to enhancing the awareness and compliance of the residents on medications in theseregions. Therefore, the goal of this study was to provide basic data for improving the awarenessand compliance of residents on medications in these regions through examining and analyzing the surveys. The self-questionnaire surveys were performed by the residents who received pharmaceuticalhealth services from the volunteers for 3 days in Eomda-Myeon of Hampyeong, SouthJeolla Province in Korea. Of those questionnaires, 200 were selected to be analyzed, and 82%(n=164) of the total respondents (n=200) had more than one chronic disease. Seven respondents(4.3%) answered that they greatly knew the drugs for their chronic diseases, 43 respondents(26.2%) answered that they mostly knew them, and 114 respondents (69.5%) answered that theydid not know them. In addition, a total of 87 residents (43.5%) responded that they greatly andmostly knew the name and efficacy of their current medications including drugs for the chronicdiseases. This result showed the considerably low awareness of the current medications. NSAIDswere mainly dispensed by these pharmaceutical health volunteer services for 3 days. The averagenumber of dispensed NSAIDs per resident was 1.11. Further related studies to improve thepatients’awareness and compliance of medications as well as the accessibilities of the healthcareservices should be implemented through the expansion of the opportunities for effective drugeducation by pharmacists in the regions.
Abstract
The patients in the regions without separation of prescribing and dispensing practicein Korea do not have sufficient opportunities for drug education due to the shortage of hospitalsand pharmacies. Especially, most of residents in these areas are elderly people whose cognitionand understandings have been gradually declined, which may contribute to low awareness andsuboptimal compliances of current medication. According to some studies, suboptimal complianceson current medication of patients can lead to increase in drug-related problems (DRPs),medical cost, hospitalization rate, and mortality rate. However, there have been few studiesrelated to enhancing the awareness and compliance of the residents on medications in theseregions. Therefore, the goal of this study was to provide basic data for improving the awarenessand compliance of residents on medications in these regions through examining and analyzing the surveys. The self-questionnaire surveys were performed by the residents who received pharmaceuticalhealth services from the volunteers for 3 days in Eomda-Myeon of Hampyeong, SouthJeolla Province in Korea. Of those questionnaires, 200 were selected to be analyzed, and 82%(n=164) of the total respondents (n=200) had more than one chronic disease.

The averagenumber of dispensed NSAIDs per resident was 1.11. Further related studies to improve thepatients’awareness and compliance of medications as well as the accessibilities of the healthcareservices should be implemented through the expansion of the opportunities for effective drugeducation by pharmacists in the regions.
