Abstract

Aging is a global reality that is accompanied by an increase in polypharmacy. In this vital stage, caregivers emerge as relevant actors since their intervention impacts on the safety of the medication use process and on the quality of life of the patient they assist. As the knowledge about the treatments that caregivers supervise for the patient under their care conditions the health outcomes of the medications, the main objective of this study is to characterize the caregivers of patients who use opioid analgesics and to identify factors that increase the risk of the appearance of Medication Related Problems (DRP).The results reveal that the caregiver profile affects the health outcomes of this therapeutic group in both the prevalence and type of DRP. Of the 63 patients using opioid analgesics under pharmacotherapeutic follow-up during this study, 17 (27%) had caregivers. The caregiver in this study was predominantly female (61.1%).Considering DRP and kinship, a higher prevalence of DRP was observed when the caregivers were children or external personnel.Analyzing the pharmacotherapy of these caregivers, 4.8% have started antidepressant treatment, 3.2% hypnotic treatment after becoming caregivers of these patients. The Zarit Test reveals that 29.4% of the caregivers of these patients manifest overload.We conclude that Pharmaceutical Care should consider the opportunity and relevance of designing and implementing intervention and education protocols focused on caregivers.

[使用阿片类镇痛药患者的护理人员的相关作用]。
老龄化是一个全球性的现实问题,伴随而来的是多种药物的增加。在这一重要阶段,护理人员成为了相关的参与者,因为他们的干预会影响用药过程的安全性以及他们所帮助的病人的生活质量。由于护理人员对其所护理的病人的治疗方法的了解会影响用药的健康结果,因此本研究的主要目的是了解使用阿片类镇痛药的病人的护理人员的特点,并找出增加出现用药相关问题(DRP)风险的因素。在这项研究中,接受药物治疗跟踪的 63 名使用阿片类镇痛药的患者中,有 17 人(27%)有护理人员。考虑到 DRP 和亲属关系,当护理者是儿童或外部人员时,DRP 的发生率较高。分析这些护理者的药物治疗,4.8% 的护理者在成为这些患者的护理者后开始了抗抑郁治疗,3.2% 的护理者开始了催眠治疗。扎里特测试(Zarit Test)显示,29.4% 的患者护理人员表现出超负荷。我们的结论是,医药护理部门应考虑设计和实施以护理人员为重点的干预和教育方案的机会和意义。
