“…Important information can also be found on the packaging of preparations. The key information ensuring the safety and quality of the preparation is the expiration date, so it is worth checking your medicines in this respect [3,31]. This study shows that finding it is not a problem for patients, and its form is understandable to them, as well as for instructions on the possible time of use of the preparation.…”

“…The study showed that after the training, the level of knowledge could significantly improve, and the multimedia form of the lecture is as effective as possible for this purpose, also in discussing the issue of an expired drug and giving it to the pharmacy. This is a very important and common problem because the drug is a specific type of waste that is hazardous and must be properly disposed of [31].…”

“…It is confirmed that seniors often do not follow recommendations of the physician and pharmacist. They independently modify doses of drugs or refuse to take prescribed drugs or overdose them [25,31,40].

Progressive aging of the population is an inevitable fact, taking place especially in Europe. Elderly patients modify medicine dose on their own, abandon treatment or take extra, unprescribed drugs. Main aim of this study is to assess impact of training carried by pharmacy students on education directed at older people in terms of taken medicines. Research was conducted from November 2019 to March 2020 among people over 60 years old, from Poznań, Poland, seniors' clubs by two pharmacy students under the supervision of pharmacist. Study included 58 participants (89.5% women and 10.5% men). Two paper-based questionnaires were used. No. 1 checked the awareness and safety of the use of drugs by the respondents. After its completion, there was conducted 30 minutes long training. Then, No. 2 was issued for re-estimating the knowledge of patients and the effectiveness of the lecture. People with primary education, as well as over 80 years of age and living alone, need increased care during pharmacotherapy, due to more serious problems with the acquisition of knowledge. After the lecture, the number of people who knew how to prepare drugs before administration increased. The awareness that medications should be taken with water has also increased. The training significantly improved patients' knowledge about allergies to certain drugs and excipients. After the lecture, the respondents declared that they will not independently change the recommended doses of drugs. Training allowed to increase the knowledge in the field of proper medication intake. Therefore, it is worth to consider the knowledge and abilities of students to spread the initiative of pharmaceutical care and proper patient education. RezumatÎmbătrânirea progresivă a populației este un fapt inevitabil. Pacienții vârstnici își modifică singuri doza de medicament, abandonează tratamentul sau iau medicamente suplimentare, neprescrise. Scopul principal al acestui studiu este de a evalua impactul educației realizate de studenții farmaciști asupra persoanelor în vârstă, în ceea ce privește medicamentele luate. Cercetarea a fost efectuată în perioada noiembrie 2019 până în martie 2020 în rândul persoanelor de peste 60 de ani, din cluburile seniorilor din Poznań (Polonia), de către doi studenți la farmacie, sub supravegherea farmacistului. Studiul a inclus 58 de participanți (89,5% femei și 10,5% bărbați). Au fost utilizate două chestionare pe hârtie. Nr. 1 a verificat gradul de conștientizare și siguranța consumului de medicamente de către respondenți. După finalizarea sa, s-a desfășurat un curs educațional de 30 de minute. Apoi, Nr. 2 a fost emis pentru re-evaluarea cunoștințelor pacienților și a eficacității prelegerii. Persoanele cu studii primare, precum și cele peste 80 de ani și care locuiesc singure, au nevoie de îngrijire sporită în timpul farmacoterapiei. După curs a crescut numărul persoanelor care au știut să își pregătească medicamentele înainte de administrare. A crescut și conștientizarea faptului că medicamentele trebuie luate cu apă. Instruirea a îm...

The Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat is a vital interface between global policies in the economic, social and environmental spheres and national action. The Department works in three main interlinked areas: (i) it compiles, generates and analyses a wide range of economic, social and environmental data and information on which States Members of the United Nations draw to review common problems and take stock of policy options; (ii) it facilitates the negotiations of Member States in many intergovernmental bodies on joint courses of action to address ongoing or emerging global challenges; and (iii) it advises interested Governments on the ways and means of translating policy frameworks developed in United Nations conferences and summits into programmes at the country level and, through technical assistance, helps build national capacities. Note The designations employed in this report and the material presented in it do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the Secretariat of the United Nations concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries. Symbols of United Nations documents are composed of capital letters combined with figures. This publication has been issued without formal editing.
