Patient experience is being widely considered in evaluating the quality of health care services. This is a cross-sectional study with 860 inpatients hospitalized in 4 clinical departments (General Internal Medicine; Cardiology; General Surgery; Surgery, and Orthopedic Trauma) of the Kien Giang General Hospital, from April to June 2020. Data was collected through a two-part questionnaire used to evaluate the inpatient experience during hospital treatment, using the Likert scale 5 points. The patient’s experience is classified into 3 aspects (environment—facilities, healthcare staff's care, treatment information). In total, 815 participants responded to the interview (94.8%). The rates of patients having a positive experience on the environment and facilities, the care of health workers, and treatment information are 31.7%, 85.9%, and 74.2%, respectively. The patient’s positive overall experience rate is 65.5%. Factors related to the patient's overall experience are the department of treatment, residential area, age, and employment status ( P < .05). Overall, the positive experience of inpatients at some clinical departments of Kien Giang General Hospital was a relatively low rate (65.5%). Specifically, healthcare staff's care is experienced at a high rate, this factor should be continuously promoted. Improving and upgrading factors in the aspects of the environment—facilities and the treatment information should be implemented if the hospital wants to improve its quality of healthcare services.

Objective: To assess the prevalence of pDDI involving antimicrobials and other standardized drugs in a large general hospital in the interior of São Paulo. Methods: quantitative study, with cross-sectional design and data collection by documentary analysis of hospital prescriptions from April to June 2017. Results: 66 clinically relevant pDDI were found, which corresponded to approximately 7.3% of antimicrobial prescriptions, being 93.9% (62) contraindicated / severe and 6.1% (4) moderate. There was no difference in the prevalence of clinically relevant pDDIs between critical and non-critical inpatient, in addition to all contraindicated interactions (10) having occurred in the clinical and surgical units. The most prevalent pDDI were, with respective degrees of documentation, between vancomycin and amikacin (47% - reasonable), clarithromycin and simvastatin (13.6% - good), and ciprofloxacin and simvastatin (7.6% - good). Conclusion: For the proper prevention of potential drug-related problems, mechanisms to guarantee the quality of prescriptions by trained clinical pharmacists are of fundamental importance, in addition to alert systems and drug interaction information for the health team, then ensuring quality pharmacotherapy and patient safety.
