“…There was a prevalence of incomes of between one and three minimum wages (MWs) among users of both health service providers, characterizing a low income population faced with increasing health costs arising from the ageing process and the increased occurrence of chronic diseases, as is the case in Brazil. For SUS users, this data is similar to that found in specialized literature 17 .…”

Objective: to compare the prescription of medications to elderly users of the SUS with users of a Supplementary Health Plan in the context of the Beers criteria. Method: a quantitative documental analysis using two databases, obtained from surveys conducted in the same municipal region, was performed. In the first database, the sample included 532 people aged 60 years or older, of both genders, who were users of the SUS. In the second, the sample was 239 people aged 60 years or older, irrespective of gender, who were users of the principal supplementary health plan. Statistical analyses to compare the data of the two databases were performed using Pearson’s Chi-squared Test and the extension of Fisher’s Exact test, with a significance level α equal to 5%. Results: The results showed significant differences in the use of medications and polypharmacy among the users of the two service providers. Moreover, there were statistically significant differences between the service providers, with SUS users using more non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (p=0.01), long-lasting sulfonylureas (p=0.02) and Nifedipine (p=0.01), and the users of the Supplementary Health Care plan using more musculoskeletal relaxants (p=0.01), estrogen (p=0.01), amiodarone (p=0.01) and Doxazosin (p=0.01), which are potentially inappropriate for the elderly. Conclusion: there are differences between having health insurance or not in terms of the profile of drug use, including in medications which are potentially inappropriate for use among the elderly. The use of information technology that centralizes the data of the elderly, both in the SUS and in Supplementary Health, could reduce inappropriate or unnecessary prescriptions.

“…Among the 227 elderly people interviewed, 51.1% presented insufficient understanding regarding medication, and the authors concluded that it is extremely necessary to plan strategies to increase the quality of the information and orientation given to the elderly person in order to ensure adherence and, consequently, compliance. 33 It is pertinent to highlight a study in which the participants highlighted several difficulties in the consultations that negatively impacted on their health experiences and the conditions to adopt healthy behaviours such as; communication difficulties, dialogue and information exchange FHL plays an important role in the health promotion of populations, and is intrinsically associated with health information and the health behaviour of users. This scenario refers to the importance of understanding the need for continuous monitoring of this public in order to achieve satisfactory health outcomes.…”

“…When making a comparison with previous studies carried out over the last 17 years, 15,17,18 with patients on continuous use of medications, at different times, it was noticed that the CML patients of the HEMOAM Foundation, in relation to the knowledge variables about the use, duration and purpose of treatment, knew more about the pharmacotherapy.…”

Objectives: To evaluate the conditions of use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors and adherence by patients with chronic myeloid leukemia treated at a public hematology institution. Methods: This was an observational and cross-sectional study carried out from December 2015 to April 2016. Data collection was carried out through interviews with standardized questionnaires that assessed the socioeconomic and demographic profile, drug therapy and by the Morisky-Green test that assessed the green adherence. Patients over 18 years old who had been using one of the tyrosine kinase inhibitors for more than one month were included; imatinib, dasatinib or nilotinib and who signed the informed consert form, agreement to participate in study. Descriptive statistical analysis and chi-square test with Yates correction were performed. Results: 63 patients were interviewed, with a mean age of 50 years with a standard deviation of 15.95. being 60% men. As for knowledge about the aspects related to the use of inhibitors: 95.2% took at the right time, 93.7% did not use other medications concomitantly, 63.5% kept it in an appropriate place and 97% of the patients received prior guidance from the doctor about the use. As for information about treatment, 90.5% knew the purpose of taking the medication, 60% did not know the time of use, 83% did not know what would happen if they stopped taking it and 73% believed they could stop the treatment at some point. Adherence to treatment was identified 46% of patients. Conclusion: No statistically significant differences were found between having or not adherence, when compared with the studied variables.
