2021
espanolObjetivo: Determinar la percepcion de los pacientes y profesionales respecto al papel del farmaceutico de hospital en el proceso asistencial sanitario. Metodo: Estudio multicentrico, observacional, analitico y transversal, realizado en dos fases entre el 15 de octubre y el 31 de diciembre de 2020. En la primera fase se realizo una busqueda bibliografica para identificar cuestionarios especificos que midieran la satisfaccion global de los pacientes en relacion con la actividad asistencial de los farmaceuticos de hospital. Al no identificarse ninguno validado y adaptado, se elaboro un cuestionario especifico. Se estructuro en tres areas: asistencial, relacional y de capacitacion y formacion. Se incluyeron pacientes atendidos en los centros participantes y asociaciones de pacientes colaboradoras en el proyecto, mayores de 18 anos, con patologia cronica y tratamiento con medicacion de uso hospitalario. En la segunda fase se llevo a cabo un estudio cualitativo en formato focus group para analizar como son percibidos y como les gustaria ser reconocidos a los farmaceuticos de hospital por parte de los pacientes. Se realizaron cuatro reuniones en diferentes territorios de Espana. Previamente el equipo investigador acordo el guion y las preguntas a llevar a cabo, incluyendose 13, agrupadas por bloques: asistencial, relacional, formacion e informacion. Resultados: Se obtuvieron un total de 482 encuestas. El porcentaje de pacientes que valoraron positivamente el papel del farmaceutico de hospital fue del 88,0% (n = 424). Se identifico que tienen mejor opinion sobre los farmaceuticos hospitalarios las mujeres, los pacientes que habian recibido atencion previa en el hospital, los que valoraron mejor la coordinacion de estos profesionales con el resto del equipo y aquellos con mayor apoyo emocional previo recibido. En la segunda fase se identifico que la integracion del farmaceutico con el equipo varia en funcion de los centros y que la imagen que se tiene es la relacionada con la gestion farmacoeconomica. En el bloque de capacitacion y formacion, asi como retos de futuro, se identifico la necesidad de fomentar la introduccion de nuevas tecnologias para el seguimiento de los pacientes. Conclusiones: Los pacientes tienen una buena opinion del servicio prestado por el farmaceutico de hospital, aunque muchos desconocen su papel. EnglishObjective: To determine the perception of patients and practitioners regarding the role of the hospital pharmacist along the care continuum. Method: This was a multicenter cross-sectional observational analytical study, carried out in two phases between 15 October and 31 December 2020. In the first phase, a literature search was carried out to identify specific questionnaires that measured the overall satisfaction of patients in relation to the work of hospital pharmacists. Subsequently, a specific consensus-based questionnaire was developed, structured into three areas: care, relationships, and capacity-building and training. The study included patients treated in the participating centers and served by patient associations. They had to be older than 18 years, present with a chronic condition, and be treated with medication for hospital use. In the second phase, a qualitative study was carried out using focus group discussions to analyze how hospital pharmacists are perceived and how they would like to be recognized by patients. Four meetings were held in different territories of Spain. Previously, the research team agreed on the questions to be asked, which were grouped into four sections: healthcare, relational, training and information. Results: A total of 482 surveys were obtained. The percentage of patients who expressed a positive view of the role of the hospital pharmacist was 88.0% (n = 424). In the multivariate analysis, the most positive opinions about these professionals were expressed by women and by patients who had received previous care in the hospital, those who had a high opinion of the coordination of these professionals with the rest of the care team, and those who had received the greatest amount of emotional support. Integration of the pharmacist with the healthcare team was found to vary across different hospitals and the hospitals’ public image we seen to be related to the way they were pharmacoeconomically managed. In the sections related to capacity-building and training and challenges for the future, respondents emphasized the need to promote the introduction of new patient monitoring technologies. Conclusions: Patients have a good opinion of the service provided by hospital pharmacists, although many are unaware of the significance of their role.
