Writing: a Factor That Can Influence Understanding of Prescriptions in the Geriatric Population

NCT06855017 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 64

Summary

Understanding prescriptions is a key factor in the therapeutic education and compliance of elderly patients with multiple medications. However, the way prescriptions are written and typed depends on doctors' habits, due to a lack of recommendations on the subject.

The introduction of a state-qualified nurse to manage treatment will soon be a public health issue, given the ageing population and human resources problems.

The hypothesis is that certain editorial and typographical choices can make prescriptions clearer, and could thus help elderly patients, either cognitively unaffected or at risk of cognitive fragility, to better understand their prescriptions and thus limit the risk of medication errors.
