Objective: The aim with the present study was to evaluate availability and accessibility to medicines in Primary Health Care in Northeast Health District, Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Method: It was an epidemiological, descriptive and cross-sectional study, conducted in the central warehouse and in twenty Primary Health Care units. The data was collected through direct observation, in information systems and in a survey with patients. Indicators proposed by World Health Organization were used to analyze the availability and accessibility. Results: The average availability of essential medicines from a key list in stock observed in visits in Primary Health Care units was 98,3 ± 3,7% and in the past 12 months was 42,5 ± 13,6%. One thousand and three hundred eighty-three medicines were prescribed to patients and 1066 (77,1%) of them were actually dispensed. An association of the presence of medicine in Essential Medicine List with dispensing of medicine was observed (p=0,00). It was observed that 93,2% of patients spent until 30 min in the way from their residence to Primary Health Care unit. Conclusion:The conditions of availability of medicines in stock in visits and the accessibility to services in PHC were satisfactory; however, limitations were observed in yearly availability of medicines and in the attendance of patient`s needs for prescribed medicines. Actions are recommended to improve availability of medicines such as the adoption of the Essential Medicine List.

AbstrakApotek merupakan salah satu sarana dilakukannya pelayanan kefarmasian oleh seorang apoteker. Dilaporkan bahwa 50% pasien gagal menerima pengobatan secara tepat karena peresepan dan praktik pemberian obat (dispensing) yang tidak sesuai. Apoteker memiliki peran untuk lebih terlibat dalam pelayanan kefarmasian (pharmaceutical care) yang berorientasi pada pasien. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan evaluasi perawatan pasien (patient care) di Apotek Pendidikan Universitas Padjadjaran (Unpad) Kota Bandung, pada bulan Juli-Oktober tahun 2017, dengan menilai beberapa faktor dalam pemberian obat sesuai dengan ketentuan instrumen indikator perawatan pasien dari WHO. Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan cross-sectional dengan jumlah sampel minimal 20 pasien. Indikator yang digunakan meliputi: lama waktu konsultasi, lama waktu pemberian obat, persen obat yang dapat diserahkan, pelabelan yang benar, dan pengetahuan akan dosis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan rata-rata waktu pemberian obat 264 detik, persentase obat yang diserahkan 97,18%, persentase obat yang terlabeli dengan benar 100%, dan waktu rata-rata konsultasi 99,03 detik. Indikator pengetahuan pasien mengenai obatnya hanya 17,07% dan waktu konsultasi bervariasi yaitu 10-370 detik, dibandingkan waktu rekomendasi yaitu 60 detik. Tingkat pengetahuan pasien mengenai obat atau dosis hanya 21,17%. Kegiatan pelayanan kefarmasian di Apotek Pendidikan Unpad dapat dinilai dengan menggunakan indikator WHO dan diketahui bahwa pengetahuan pasien akan dosis obat dipengaruhi oleh jenis penyakit yaitu penyakit degeneratif dan nondegeneratif, sedangkan waktu pemberian obat dan pelabelan obat yang benar dipengaruhi oleh jenis resep pasien yaitu resep racikan atau nonracikan. Kecepatan waktu pelayanan untuk pasien nonkonseling perlu ditingkatkan sehingga diharapkan pasien dapat menerima obat dengan cepat. Pengetahuan pasien mengenai terapinya yang masih rendah juga diharapkan dapat meningkat dengan pemberian informasi obat atau konseling.Kata kunci: Indikator pasien, pelayanan kefarmasian, pengetahuan pasien, waktu konsultasi, waktu dispensing, tepat label Patient Care Indicator: Degenerative-Nondegenerative Patients and Compounded-Non-Compounded Prescription in One of Community Pharmacy in Bandung AbstractPharmacy is one of facilities for pharmacist to do a pharmaceutical care.
