Abstract
A comparison of studies between drug information services (DIS) in the hospitals of the private dental colleges and those of other hospitals was carried out by using questionnaires taken in 1984 and 1991. In the first study (in 1984), main DIS (documentation, response to request, support for pharmacy and therapeutic committee) in dental hospitals was the same as in other hospitals, but total activity was less. In the second study (in 1991), the activity of education for students and the collection of reports of adverse drug reaction were better performed in dental hospitals than other hospitals. Other specific points of DIS in dental hospitals were emphasized for the collection of information about drug interactions and the response to the request for drug therapy.
Further, the general activity of DIS in dental hospital pharmacies was less than in other hospitals. The training of staff and the development of a technique for DIS were inadequate in each hospital. By the self-assessment of DIS on the basis of 5 points taken in the questionnaires in each hospital, the means were 2.2 in dental hospitals and 2.9 in other hospitals.
The pharmacists in dental hospitals have to improve DIS for development of pharmaceutical care in dental hospitals.
