AimsPrescribing errors are an important cause of patient safety incidents and are frequently caused by junior doctors. This might be because the prescribing competence of final‐year medical students is poor as a result of inadequate clinical pharmacology and therapeutic (CPT) education. We reviewed the literature to investigate which prescribing competencies medical students should have acquired in order to prescribe safely and effectively, and whether these have been attained by the time they graduate.MethodsPubMed, EMBASE and ERIC databases were searched from the earliest dates up to and including January 2017, using the terms ‘prescribing’, ‘competence’ and ‘medical students’ in combination. Articles describing or evaluating essential prescribing competencies of final‐year medical students were included.ResultsTwenty‐five articles describing, and 47 articles evaluating, the prescribing competencies of final‐year students were included. Although there seems to be some agreement, we found no clear consensus among CPT teachers on which prescribing competencies medical students should have when they graduate. Studies showed that students had a general lack of preparedness, self‐confidence, knowledge and skills, specifically regarding general and antimicrobial prescribing and pharmacovigilance. However, the results should be interpreted with caution, given the heterogeneity and methodological weaknesses of the included studies.ConclusionsThere is considerable evidence that final‐year students have insufficient competencies to prescribe safely and effectively, although there is a need for a greater consensus among CPT teachers on the required competencies. Changes in undergraduate CPT education are urgently required in order to improve the prescribing of future doctors.

Objective: To know the perspectives of people with type 2 diabetes mellitus on self-care actions. Methods: Qualitative study, carried out in a municipality in the north of Paraná. The data were collected in the months of June and July of 2014, through home interviews and, after that, submitted to content analysis. Results: Some individuals recognize that adopting self-care actions is their responsibility, although these actions are not always put into practice. Others attribute the non-performance of these actions to external factors related to the organization of the health service, the family environment and the work environment. Conclusion and implications for practice: The perspective of self-care actions is a challenge to care, since the individual needs to recognize the fundamental role that he plays in the development of these actions so that the nurse can support him in the process of change.Keywords: Nursing; Self-care; Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Investigación cualitativa realizada en una ciudad del norte del estado de Paraná. Los datos fueron recolectados en los meses de junio y julio de 2014, por medio de entrevista domiciliaria y, después, sometidos al análisis de contenido. Resultados: Algunos individuos reconocen que la adopción de acciones de autocuidado es de su responsabilidad, aunque no siempre las pongan en práctica. Otros atribuyen la no realización de estas acciones a factores externos relacionados a la organización del servicio de salud, al ambiente familiar y laboral. Conclusión y consecuencias para la práctica: La perspectiva frente a la realización de acciones de autocuidado constituye un desafío a la atención, pues el individuo necesita reconocer el papel fundamental que desempeña en el desarrollo de estas acciones a fin de que el enfermero pueda apoyarlo en el proceso de cambio.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a common metabolic disorder which is characterized by elevated blood sugar level. It is a major cause of blindness in our country, which is preventable and treatable, if healthy practice and knowledge regarding this disease is applied. The study was undertaken to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice of Diabetic Retinopathy, amongst diabetic patients attending eye OPD in GMC Jammu.Methods: 300 patients diagnosed with diabetes mellitus attending eye OPD, over a period of 10 months, in GMC Jammu, were incorporated in this study. Self administered questionnaires were used to assess knowledge, practice and attitude of diabetic retinopathy amongst the diabetic patient, after their due consent.Results: This study incorporated 300 diabetic patients out of which 168 (56%) were males and 132 (44%) were females. Most of the patients (70%) were aware of the fact that diabetes can cause eye disorders. 67.33% believed that they should go for regular eye check-ups. 79.33% agreed that timely intervention can delay the complications in diabetic eye disease.Conclusions: Diabetes can lead to serious ocular complications which can be prevented by appropriate awareness and optimistic attitude and good approach towards the disease.
