Abstract
Instruction to patients about how to take medicines, so called “medicational instruction”, has become one of the most important work for hospital pharmacist. We made inquiries about the meaning of medicational instruction regarding to out-patients, nurses and physicians. As a result, the following matters were obtained. 1) There were many noncompliant patients about drug administrational owing to the lack of sufficient instruction by pharmacist. 2) Physicians and nurses recognize the meaning of the medicational instruction to patients by pharmacists.
Considering the results of the survey described above, we would like to make more sufficient medicational instruction to patients together with physicians and nurses.
