dc.description.abstractPromoting rational use of medicines is crucial to ensure therapeutic efficacy. Many users do not understand prescribed treatment, often for lack of information during the medical consultation and pharmacy dispensing, which results in difficulties for correct drug therapy. Objectives: Determine the perception of knowledge about the drug therapy, after medical consultation and after Pharmacy dispensing, and identify related factors. Methods: This cross-sectional and study, had a sample of 150 users of health centers and pharmacies in the north of Portugal, 64% females and 36% males, aged between 18 and 90 years (mean 57). A self-administered questionnaire was applied, including knowledge perception scale (Frohlich'10). In data analysis was used descriptive statistics and t-student test (significance level 5%). Results: The perception of knowledge about drug therapy is insufficient either after medical consultation (70.7%) or after pharmacy dispensing (70.7%), only a minority of users had a good knowledge after medical consultation (5.3%) and after dispensing in community pharmacy (2.7%). The lowest knowledge was related with forgetting doses, drugs/food interactions and side effects. No differences were found between the perceptions of users of medical centers and pharmacy (p=0.191), neither between the educational level (health center p=0.842, p=0.307 pharmacy). Conclusions: The perception of knowledge about drug therapy is quite insufficient both after medical consultation and after pharmacy dispensing. There were no found differences between the perceptions of users of medical centers and pharmacy, probably due to the limited sample size. Contrary to expectation, the education level is not associated with the perception of knowledge about drugs therapy.pt_PT
