Abstract
Considerando que os idosos são grandes consumidores de medicamentos, com conseqüências significativas em sua condição de vida, propomos para o presente estudo analisar as características da prescrição de medicamentos, utilizando os indicadores propostos pela Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) e caracterizar as classes medicamentosas prescritas a eles, em quatro unidades da Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) de Marília, São Paulo, Brasil. Foi sorteada uma unidade de saúde da família (USF) por região da cidade e verificaram-se 100 prontuários na USF A; 86 na B, 99 na C e 97 na D. Quanto aos indicadores de prescrição de medicamentos da OMS, os resultados apresentam semelhanças com os padrões recomendados, exceto quanto à prescrição de medicamentos pelo nome genérico. Além disso, há diferenças significativas entre as unidades. As classes medicamentosas mais prescritas são aquelas destinadas aos problemas do sistema cardiocirculatório. Revela-se preocupação dos profissionais em adequar a prescrição de medicamentos a critérios de uso racional. Há, no entanto, necessidade de compreensão das diferenças de prescrição entre as unidades e busca de consenso, visando ao uso racional de medicamentos.
Considering that the elderly are heavy consumers of medications, with significant consequences for their living conditions, the current study was intended to analyze the characteristics of such drug prescription, using the indicators proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO), and to characterize the drug classes prescribed to them in four units under the Family Health Strategy (FHS) in Marília, São Paulo State, Brazil. One family health unit (FHU) was selected by region of the city, and 100 patient charts were checked in FHU-A; 86 in B, 99 in C, and 97 in D. According to WHO drug prescription criteria, the results were similar to the recommended patterns except for drug prescription by generic name. In addition, there were significant differences between the family health units. The most frequently prescribed drug classes were for cardiovascular disorders. The health professionals showed a concern for adjusting drug prescription to rational-use criteria. However, there is a need for understanding the differences in prescription between units and a search for consensus, aimed at rational drug use.
