| Abstract;We evaluated the inpatient-understanding of drug therapy and disease on admission. Based on the results of our survey, we designed a new type of medical diary in which impatients could improve their knowledge of the relationship between drug therapy and disease. We distributed these medical diaries to inpatients, who were hospitalized with a vascular disease in the First Department of Surgery, Nagoya University School of Medicine. In addition, inpatient-understanding of drug therapy and disease was also evaluated based on three specific points which were determined at the initial and final inpatient consultation. The evaluation scores regarding the inpatient-understanding of drug therapy and disease increased from 0.72.+-.0.56 to 1.6.+-.0.50 (p<0.01) and from 1.4.+-.0.51 to 1.8.+-.0.37 (p<0.01), respectively. These results suggest that the use of medical diary was helpful and allowed the patients to improve their overall understanding of both drug therapy and disease. (author abst.) |
