Abstract

Abstract: Objective To investigate the effectiveness of interventions by clinical pharmacists for reducing the irrational rate of alanyl-glutamine injections in a hospital. Methods A simple random sampling method was adopted to select 200 medical orders related to alanyl-glutamine injections that were given by clinicians between June and August 2021 (before interventions) and another 200 between June and August 2022 (after interventions) before the corresponding problems were compared and analyzed. Results The irrational rate of alanyl-glutamine injections decreased from 77.50% to 41.00% after interventions (P<0.05), which was of statistical significance. Conclusion The interventions enforced by clinical pharmacists can help make drug use more rational, but continued tracking and improvement are needed.

Key words: alanyl-glutamine, pharmacists’ intervention, clinical pharmacist, application, effect analysis, medical orders, irrational drug use
