ABSTRACT
A descriptive, cross-sectional and observational study of 76 patients admitted to the Internal Medicine and Caumatology services of "Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" Teaching General Hospital was carried out in Santiago de Cuba during 2012, to evaluate the knowledge, performance and satisfaction of 22 professionals who prescribed parental ciprofloxacin. The knowledge and satisfaction were evaluated through a knowledge examination and a survey of satisfaction, respectively; the performance was evaluated, starting from the information obtained from the medical records, related to 3 criteria: individualization of the treatment, therapeutic schedule and medication combinations. For each opinion, indicators and standards were established. The prescribers presented appropriate knowledge on the specific medication; however, the performance and satisfaction of them were inadequate. It is necessary to carry out an intervention to revert the identified deficiencies and contribute to elevate the quality of the medications prescription in both health services.REFERENCES
