Seguimiento a las gestiones e intervenciones farmacéuticas realizadas por estudiantes de la Unidad de Titulación de Bioquímica y Farmacia en las Unidades de Salud de la Coordinación Zonal 3

Abstract

A follow up was carried out in order to assess pharmaceutical procedures and interventions developed by students of the Biochemistry and Pharmacy Department at the Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo. This study took place in the Unidades de Salud of the Coordinación Zonal 3 in Ecuador, where students carried out their graduation work, to do so, it was necessary to interview the staff of the pharmacies and ask for the necessary information in order to fill out the verification checklists, this is a non- experimental investigation with a mixed (quantitative and quantitative) model to find out if projects developed by the students are useful for health units, taking into account the percentage obtained by each project after analyzing each work requirement implemented (or recommended their quick implementation) by the biochemistry and pharmacy students. Once the work was completed, a high percentage of compliance with the parameters evaluated was obtained, especially in graduation works related to the implementation of regulations, management of high-risk medications, pharmacotherapeutic conciliation, pharmacovigilance and process manuals, but it was also evidenced that there are problems to implement those projects that require special areas for parenteral nutrition and magistral formulation with sophisticated and expensive equipment. When socializing the results, it was concluded that there are requirements that are not met when the managers of health unit are changed or when the pharmacy staff is not properly trained, so it was recommended that the heads of pharmacy continue making the staff aware of the importance of projects that increase the prestige of the health unit.
