Abstract

Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess the opinions of the general practitioners (GPs) and nurses towards a previous pharmacotherapeutic intervention and their opinions towards future alternative or complementary methods to improve nursing-home patients' drug treatments.

Methods: Sixty-six GPs and forty-five nursing-home nurses, working at nursing homes in southern Sweden, were sent a questionnaire to assess their opinions towards a pharmacotherapeutic intervention conducted by a multi-specialty team and their opinions on alternative or complementary future methods potentially improving patient treatment.

Results: The response rate was 62% for the GPs and 69% for the nurses. Both GPs and nurses were positive towards further co-operation regarding pharmacotherapeutic interventions. All nurses that were positive to further co-operation wished to do it in a multidisciplinary team, whereas some GPs wished to do this in a multi-specialty team.

Conclusion: The opinions of GPs and nurses towards the pharmacotherapeutic intervention indicate that this or similar methods may successfully be used in clinical practice for improving drug therapy.
