Abstract

Medication errors in hospital are problematic worldwide. Before seeking the solution, hospital managers should have the data about patient-s knowledge about their medication. This study aims to determine the extent of patient-s knowledge on medication safety implementation in the hospital. This study was conducted as an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional approach. Data were collected using a questionnaire from 748 patients in 15 hospitals in Malang Indonesia. The instrument measures patient perception on five moments for medication safety using a 5-point Likert scale. The result showed that in five moments for medication safety stages, in the starting medicine stage of 748 respondents, 65.2% were asked about the history of allergies, 52.7% asked about pregnancy and breastfeeding conditions, 40.9% informed about drug function and 39.9% informed about drug side effects. In taking medicine stage, the respondents stated that they had already gained information about the medication plan (54.8%), about the time of drug administration (55.5%), and the drug dose (41.5%). In adding medicine stage, 51.6% of the respondents stated that they were asked about the history of the drugs they had taken and were informed about drug changes (44.6%). In the reviewing medicine stage, the result showed that 41.9% was informed about the length of time in taking the drug. Lastly, in stopping medicine stage, the result showed that some respondents experienced drug allergic reactions (43%) and side effects (46.7%). In conclusion, the lowest level of patient-s perception on medication safety implementation is in the starting medicine stage about the drug side effects, while the highest level of patient-s perception is about the history of allergies.
