Abstract Background. To investigate the intervention effect of clinical pharmacists on irrational use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in clinicians. Methods. A cross-sectional study was used to through the hospital information management system survey, before intervention (July 15th, 2016, Aug 15th, 2016 and Sep 15th 2016) and dry prognosis (July 15th, 2017, Aug 15th, 2017 and Sep 15th, 2017) all the use of PPIs inpatients related information. According to the guidelines of "drug instructions" and "experts on stress ulcer prevention and treatment experts", the standard of drug use was formulated, and the use of PPIs before and after intervention was evaluated and analyzed in accordance with the standard, and the results of intervention were evaluated. Results. The total number of hospitalized patients surveyed before the intervention was 1,693, the average utilization rate of proton pump inhibitors was 27.05% and the coincidence rate was 52.40%. The total number of hospitalized patients investigated after the intervention was 2,095, the average utilization rate of proton pump inhibitors was 8.54%, and the coincidence rate was 68.16%. Before and after the intervention, there was no difference in gender ratio and age distribution, the decrease of the utilization rate and the improvements of the qualified rate after intervention were statistically significant.Conclusion. According to the standards of PPIs, clinical pharmacists strictly implement the special prescription review system and other intervention measures, which can significantly improve the level of PPIs rational clinical medication.

ABSTRACT Objectives: To compare care necessities as perceived by the patient and nursing team and to investigate the sociodemographic factors associated with these perceptions. Method: A comparative study was conducted in units and hospitalized patients of a hospital institution in the state of São Paulo. The participants comprised 100 health professionals (50 nurses and 50 nursing technicians and auxiliaries) and 50 patients. A questionnaire was constructed and validated regarding care needs and was completed by the participants. Results: Considering cut-off value kappa ≥ 0.61, or that is, good and very good intervals, the greatest agreement between the perception of the patients and the nursing team was in the areas of: Care and Communication, both with 92.6% agreement; followed by Basic Care with 74.1%. The lowest value was found in the field of Care Planning and Organization, 64.3%. Conclusion: In a general manner, there was an agreement between the care needs from the view of the patients themselves and the nursing team.

Although specialized pharmacists have been suggested to be essential members of antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs), not all hospitals in Korea operate ASPs with pharmacists involved. We aimed to evaluate the association of involvement of clinical pharmacists as team members of multidisciplinary ASPs with the incidence of antimicrobial-related adverse drug events (ADEs). Five tertiary teaching hospitals participated in this retrospective cohort study. At each participating hospital, we randomly selected 1000 participants among patients who had received systemic antimicrobial agents for more than one day during the first quarter of 2017. We investigated five categories of antimicrobial-related ADEs: allergic reactions, hematologic toxicity, nephrotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, and antimicrobial-related diarrhea. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the potential impact of pharmacist involvement in ASPs on the incidence of ADEs. A total of 1195 antimicrobial-related ADEs occurred in 618 (12.4%) of the 4995 patients included in the analysis. The overall rate of ADE occurrence was 17.4 per 1000 patient days. Hospitals operating ASPs with pharmacists showed significantly lower AE incidence proportions than other hospitals (8.9% vs. 14.7%; p < 0.001). Multidisciplinary ASPs that included clinical pharmacists reduced the risk of antimicrobial-related ADEs by 38% (adjusted odds ratio 0.62; 95% confidence interval 0.50–0.77). Our results suggest that the active involvement of clinical pharmacists in multidisciplinary ASPs may contribute to reduce the incidence of antimicrobial-related ADEs in hospitalized patients.
