    Objective: To determine the relationship between medication prescribing and dispensing errors in hospitalized COVID-19 patients at the Arzobispo Loayza National Hospital, from August to December 2020. Materials and methods: This research is a basic study with a correlational design and a quantitative approach. The sample consisted of 377 medical prescriptions (therapeutic sheets and their respective care records) filled at the Hospitalization Pharmacy service. An observational and documentary analysis technique was used, applying a previously validated checklist as the instrument to include indicators for the two study variables. Results: Prescription errors were found in 17.5% of cases, with illegibility being the most frequent at 52.2%. Inadequate compliance with medication dispensing was 19.4%, with the reception and validation of the prescription showing the highest non-compliance at 34.8%. For the hypothesis test, a bilateral significance value of less than 0.05 was found (p=0.000), leading to the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis and the rejection of the null hypothesis. A strong positive correlation was also found (Phi Coefficient = 0.919). Conclusion: A significant relationship was determined to exist between medication prescribing and dispensing errors in hospitalized COVID-19 patients at the Arzobispo Loayza National Hospital from August to December 2020.
