Resumo: Prescribing plays a decisive role in promoting the rational use of medications and is the main cause of medication errors. Given the possibility of preventing such failures, this study aims to verify compliance with current legislation, evaluate the WHO prescribing indicators, identify the nature of prescription errors, and propose strategies to minimize them. To this end, a quantitative descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out, through data collection of prescriptions seen at a Basic Health Unit in Araçatuba-SP. The results showed that of 350 prescriptions, only 8 (2.3%) showed no irregularity, on the other hand, the prescriptions were aligned with the profile recommended by the WHO indicators. Thus, it is possible to conclude that the good performance of the prescription indicators demonstrates an efficient work of the professionals involved in health care. On the other hand, the failures committed by noncompliance with the current rules are of 2 human nature and of the work system (manual prescription). Thus, the training of prescribers and pharmacists, the implementation of electronic prescriptions, and the increase of surveillance are strategies that can be adopted to reduce the errors identified in this study.

Ante la posibilidad de prevenir tales fallas, este trabajo tiene como objetivo verificar el cumplimiento de la legislación vigente, evaluar los indicadores de prescripción de la OMS, identificar la naturaleza de los errores de prescripción y proponer estrategias para minimizarlos. Para ello, se realizó un estudio descriptivo cuantitativo de corte transversal, mediante la recolección de datos sobre recetas surtidas en una Unidad Básica de Salud de Araçatuba-SP. Los resultados demostraron que, de 350 prescripciones, sólo 8 (2,3%) no presentaron irregularidades, por otra parte, las prescripciones estuvieron alineadas con el perfil recomendado por los indicadores de la OMS. Por tanto, es posible concluir que el buen desempeño de los indicadores de prescripción demuestra un trabajo eficiente de los profesionales involucrados en la atención de salud. Por otra parte, los errores cometidos por incumplimiento de la normativa vigente son de naturaleza humana y del sistema de trabajo (prescripción manual). Por tanto, la formación de prescriptores y farmacéuticos, la implementación de la receta electrónica y una mayor supervisión son estrategias que se pueden adoptar para reducir los errores destacados en este estudio.A prescrição tem papel decisivo na promoção do uso racional de medicamentos e apresenta-se como a principal causa de erros de medicação.

Para tanto, um estudo quantitativo descritivo transversal foi realizado, através da coleta de dados de prescrições atendidas em uma Unidade Básica de Saúde de Araçatuba-SP. Os resultados demonstraram que de 350 prescrições, apenas 8 (2,3%) não apresentaram nenhuma irregularidade, por outro lado, as prescrições mostraram-se alinhadas com o perfil recomendado pelos indicadores da OMS. Assim é possível concluir que o bom desempenho dos indicadores de prescrição demonstra um trabalho eficiente dos profissionais envolvidos na assistência à saúde. Em contrapartida, as falhas cometidas pelo descumprimento das normas vigentes, são de natureza humana e da sistemática de trabalho (prescrição manual). Desta forma, o treinamento de prescritores e farmacêuticos, a implementação de prescrições eletrônicas e o aumento de fiscalização são estratégias que podem ser adotadas para reduzir os erros apontados nesse estudo.Research, Society and Development2024-02-23info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/4493910.33448/rsd-v13i2.44939Research, Society and Development; Vol. 13 No. 2; e10113244939Research, Society and Development; Vol. 13 Núm. 2; e10113244939Research, Society and Development; v. 13 n. 2; e101132449392525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/44939/35989Copyright (c) 2024 Rebeka de França Teixeira; Cristiane Olier Perussohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTeixeira, Rebeka de França Perusso, Cristiane Olier 2024-03-04T09:47:20Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/44939Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-03-04T09:47:20Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
