| Summary: | Keselamatan ubat di hospital di Arab Saudi tidak diteroka sepenuhnya.
Walaupun terdapat beberapa kajian yang dijalankan tentang salah preskripsi, namun
tiada usaha sepakat tentang definisi salah preskripsi. Justeru, matlamat kajian ini
adalah untuk meneroka perspektif profesional penjagaan kesihatan tentang
keselamatan ubat, membangun satu definisi tentang salah preskripsi serta menilai
insidens salah preskripsi di hospital di Riyadh, Arab Saudi. Kajian ini dijalankan
dalam tiga fasa. Fasa pertama, merupakan perbincangan meja bulat dengan
profesional penjagaan kesihatan. Fasa kedua, melibatkan proses Delphi dalam
kalangan pengamal penjagaan kesihatan dengan para pakar dalam bidang
keselamatan ubat dan pengurusan kualiti. Fasa ketiga atau terakhir, merupakan suatu
kajian retrospektif yang melibatkan semakan carta perubatan dan arahan
pengambilan ubat kepada pesakit pembedahan, pesakit perubatan dan pesakit di unit
rawatan rapi (ICU), di hospital swasta, di Riyadh.
Medication safety in Saudi hospitals has not been explored extensively.
Although few studies have investigated prescribing errors, no attempts were made to
develop a consensus definition of prescribing errors. Therefore, the aim of this study
was to explore healthcare professionals’ perspectives about medication safety,
develop a definition of prescribing errors and assess the incidence of prescribing
errors in a private hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The study was conducted in
three phases. Phase one was an exploratory round-table discussion with healthcare
professionals’. The second phase involved Delphi process among healthcare
practitioners’ with expertise in medication safety and quality management. The last
phase was a retrospective study involving review of medical charts and medication
orders of patients’ admitted to surgical, medical and intensive care unit (ICU) of a
private hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia during four month. |
