abstract = "Patients with orthopedic injury are at high risk of venous thromboembolism. Although
anticoagulant therapy is the mainstay, traditional oral anticoagulants have unpredictable
pharmacokinetics, require regular monitoring and may cause side effects. The aim of this
study was to assess knowledge, comprehension of information about medicines use and
access to medicines-related information among adult hospitalized orthopedic patients. The
research was conducted as a cross-sectional study at the Clinic for Orthopedic Surgery and
Traumatology, University Clinical Center of Serbia, from September to November 2021.
Specific and socio-demographic questionnaires were used to assess patients’ comprehension
of information about medicines use. The study included 110 patients (response rate 94%);
56.4% of the included patients were men, 80% were older than 30 years and 67.3%
completed higher education. The results showed that most patients (53.6%) use the Patient
Information Leaflet (PIL) to obtain information about medicines use, or the medicine
information box to aquire information about medicines storage, while only 32.7% of patients
rely on pharmacists to provide advice. Most orthopedic patients (˃55%) understood
information about medicines use and storage, except for the information related to the shelf
life of the medicine (82.7% incorrect answers). This study indicates that hospitalized
orthopedic patients are more likely to find medicines information by themselves rather than
asking pharmacists, which can lead to a lack of comprehension of cruical information about
medicines and affect treatment outcomes. Therefore, communication between healthcare
professionals and patients should be improved during hospitalization and discharge., Pacijenti sa ortopedskom povredom su pod visokim rizikom od venske
tromboembolije. Iako je antikoagulantna terapija glavni oslonac, tradicionalni oralni
antikoagulansi imaju nepredvidivu farmakokinetiku, zahtevaju redovno praćenje i mogu
dovesti do neželjenih efekata. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je da se proceni znanje, razumevanje
informacija o upotrebi lekova i pristup informacijama u populaciji hospitalizovanih odraslih
ortopedskih pacijenata. Istraživanje je sprovedeno kao studija preseka na Klinici za
ortopedsku hirurgiju i traumatologiju, Univerzitetskog kliničkog centra Srbije od septembra
do novembra 2021. godine. Za procenu razumevanja informacija o upotrebi lekova korišćeni
su specifični, namenski kreiran upitnik i sociodemografski upitnik. U istraživanju je
učestvovalo 110 pacijenata (stopa odgovora 94%), većinom muškog pola (56,4%), starijih od
30 godina (80%) i sa završenim visokim obrazovanjem (67,3%). Rezultati su pokazali da
većina ispitanika informacije o načinu upotrebe i delovanju leka pronalazi u Uputstvu za lek
(53,6%), odnosno da informacije o čuvanju leka pročita na kutiji leka (60%), dok se manji
broj ispitanika (32,7%) oslanja na savet farmaceuta. Većina pacijenta (˃55%) je znala
odgovor na sva pitanja koja se odnose na razumevanje informacija o načinu upotrebe,
delovanju i čuvanju leka, osim na pitanje koje se odnosi na rok upotrebe leka naveden na
kutiji (82,7% netačnih odgovora). Ova studija ukazuje da hospitalizovani ortopedski
pacijenti radije sami pronalaze informacije o lekovima nego što pitaju farmaceute, što može
dovesti do nerazumevanja ključnih informacija o leku i uticati na ishod toka lečenja. Stoga,
potrebno je poboljšati komunikaciju između zdravstvenih radnika i pacijenata tokom
hospitalizacije i prilikom otpusta.",
