(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2021-10-04) Chambi Mamani, Yessica; Ciquero Cruzado, Mélida Mercedes
The objective of this research was to determine the relationship between medication acquisition and psychosocial risk factors in patients served at the pharmacy of the Municipality of Lima's Sisol Salud in San Juan de Lurigancho in 2021. Methodologically, this was a basic, descriptive, correlational, non-experimental, and cross-sectional study. The population consisted of 110 patients served at the Sisol Salud Hospital pharmacy. A census was conducted, and the entire population was included due to its accessible and small size for surveying. The data collection technique was a survey, and the instrument was a questionnaire with a total of 52 questions using Likert-type measurement scales. Validity was established through expert judgment, and reliability was determined using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The results showed that medication acquisition is significantly related to psychosocial risk factors in patients at the Sisol Salud pharmacy, with a Rho of 0.734 and a significance of p = 0.000.

A descriptive and observational study was conducted. Data collection was retrospective. 544 medical prescriptions for psychopharmaceuticals were studied. Pharmaceutical Offices in the Surquillo District were analyzed, using a non-probabilistic convenience sampling method where prescriptions that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected. A data form with study indicators was developed. Results: 86.9% of the prescriptions belonged to private health establishments. The most frequent medical specialty was Psychiatrist (53.1%). The most frequent psychopharmaceuticals were: Clonazepam (28.0%), Alprazolam (25.2%), and Sertraline (15.9%). The therapeutic subgroup that predominated was anxiolytics (60.8%).

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-10-05) Salazar Perez, Maikol Kevin; Valverde Veramendi, Joselyn Milagros; León Apac, Gabriel Enrique
A prescription is the consequence of a logical inferential development through which the prescriber issues a medical prescription regarding a respiratory affection. The study had a non-experimental, descriptive, quantitative, prospective, and cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 234 medical prescriptions. The observation technique and a checklist were used as the instrument, and the study was conducted with a 95% confidence level. The highest compliance with good prescribing practices was obtained for writing the National Identity Document (NID), which represented 69.2%, writing the indications (70.1%), and the presence of a signature (70.1%). The lowest compliance was for writing the age (43.6%), writing the International Nonproprietary Name (INN) (37.2%), and the lack of visible prescriber professional registration (38%). The level of compliance with good prescribing practices was identified as 65.7% for respiratory tract affections in prescriptions filled at a drugstore in the Ancón district in 2022.

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2017) Hilario Rojas, Sadith Julieta; Quichca Palomino, Silvia Noemí; Rodríguez Arizabal, Julio Cesar
The characteristics of antibiotic prescribing in medical prescriptions dispensed at the outpatient pharmacy of the Dos de Mayo National Hospital do not comply with good prescribing practices. There was a higher percentage incidence in the lack of legibility in prescriptions, the lack of the doctor's signature, the lack of the doctor's stamp, the lack of treatment duration, and the lack of medication dosage. The majority of medical prescriptions (90.2%) contained only one antibiotic per prescription, while antibiotic combinations were present in 9.8% of medical prescriptions. In the ATC classification of antibiotics, 100% predominance was found in the anatomical group Anti-infectives for systemic use and the therapeutic subgroup antibacterials for systemic use. The therapeutic group with the greatest presence was β-lactam antibacterials, penicillins. Finally, Amoxicillin was the most used chemical substance or active ingredient in the research. In the ATC classification of antibiotics, 100% predominance was found in the anatomical group Anti-infectives for systemic use and the therapeutic subgroup antibacterials for systemic use.

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2018-04-03) Calla Calla, Hermelinda María; Rosales Zurita, Verónica Vilvia; Chávez Fernández, Ana María
Irresponsible self-medication and self-prescription practices have increased among users of drugstores, becoming a public health problem. In Peru, regarding the use of health services, pharmacies and drugstores constitute the preferred places of care (MINSA 2013). The WHO advised that countries’ health policies should take responsible self-medication into account and seek ways to optimize its use with over-the-counter medicines under the supervision of a pharmacist. In our context, the practice of responsible self-medication is infrequent; however, its dissemination could reduce the overload in hospitals and health centers. For all the reasons stated, this research was considered important. It is concluded that 6.2% of drugstore users practice responsible self-medication, while 23.5% only self-medicate, and 70.3% self-prescribe. It is recommended to inform drugstore users, using simple language, about the existence of two groups of medicines established by law, and to provide education on when a condition should be considered minor and why. These tasks fall primarily on the expert in medicines, the pharmacist, since drugstores are the first places people go when they become ill.

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2020-03-10) Lozano Julián, Flor de María; Rojas Méndez, Erodita Yrene; Respicio López, Patricia Milagros
Non-compliance with the Good Prescribing Practices (GPP) Manual affects health; therefore, the objective is to determine the relationship between compliance and knowledge of the GPP Manual. The methodology used an observational, correlational design. A total of 2,292 prescriptions were reviewed and evaluated considering the dimensions: patient data, medication data, prescriber data, and prescription date. A questionnaire was administered to 16 doctors using non-probabilistic convenience sampling. Results show that 88% of the analyzed prescriptions were non-compliant, while 100% of the surveyed doctors achieved a high knowledge level (greater than 75%). Analyzing compliance and knowledge of medication data, a direct relationship (0.755) was found. In the dimension of compliance and knowledge of prescriber data and patient data, no relationship (0.00) was found. Regarding compliance and knowledge of the prescription date, a direct relationship (0.499) was found. A weak direct relationship (0.070) exists between compliance and knowledge of the GPP Manual. In conclusion, external factors cause non-compliance with the Good Prescribing Practices Manual.

This thesis aimed to identify and evaluate deficiencies in compliance with Good Prescription Practices in medical prescriptions attended at the Geriatrics outpatient service of the Hospital Nacional IV Alberto Sabogal Sologuren – EsSalud, during July 2014. The analysis was conducted through a cross-sectional, observational, prospective, documentary, and comparative study, examining unitary medical prescriptions from all specialties, as well as prescriptions from patients with chronic treatments, emergency care, and hospitalized patients. The Good Prescription Practices Manual of the General Directorate of Medicines, Supplies and Drugs (DIGEMID), the Good Prescription Practices Manual of the World Health Organization (WHO), and the Medication Appropriateness Index (MAI) were used to design the data collection sheet, considering the essential characteristics that prescriptions must contain, in order to measure the magnitude of inappropriate prescribing in a population of 144 prescriptions over a one-year period. Photographs of attended prescriptions were taken; prescriptions from hospitalized patients, emergency patients, and patients with chronic treatments were excluded. The findings showed that 100% of prescriptions included the international nonproprietary name and the date of issue. However, 27.8% did not specify the concentration, 1.4% did not indicate the pharmaceutical form, 17.4% did not record the dosage, and 100% did not include the expiration date of the prescriptions.
