老年人和照顾者在药物安全方面发挥着重要作用;然而，他们和卫生专业人员在药物安全方面的自我认知并不清楚。本研究的目的是从老年人的角度确定患者、提供者和药剂师在药物安全中的作用。半结构化的定性访谈与28个社区居住的老年人超过65岁，每天服用五种或五种以上的处方药。结果表明，老年人对自己在药物安全中的作用的自我认知差异很大。老年人认为，自我学习他们的药物和保护他们是至关重要的，以避免与药物有关的伤害。初级保健提供者被认为是老年人和专家之间的协调员。老年人希望药剂师告知他们药物特性的任何变化，以确保正确服用药物。我们的研究结果提供了一个深入的分析老年人的看法和期望，他们的供应商的具体作用，在用药安全。教育提供者和药剂师对这一具有复杂需求的人群的角色期望，最终可以提高用药安全性。
Older adults and caregivers play an essential role in medication safety; however, self-perception of their and health professionals’ roles in medication safety is not well-understood. The objective of our study was to identify the roles of patients, providers, and pharmacists in medication safety from the perspective of older adults. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were held with 28 community-dwelling older adults over 65 years who took five or more prescription medications daily. Results suggest that older adults’ self-perceptions of their role in medication safety varied widely. Older adults perceived that self-learning about their medications and securing them are critical to avoiding medication-related harm. Primary care providers were perceived as coordinators between older adults and specialists. Older adults expected pharmacists to inform them of any changes in the characteristics of medications to ensure medications were taken correctly. Our findings provide an in-depth analysis of older adults’ perceptions and expectations of their providers’ specific roles in medication safety. Educating providers and pharmacists about the role expectations of this population with complex needs can ultimately improve medication safety.
