| Abstract | This study aims to compare rational drug use (RDU) performance in Crown Prince Hospitals with that in hospitals under the Office of the Permanent Secretary, before and after the implementation of the Cooperative Project to Develop a Hospital Prototype for the Protection of Consumers Relating to Health Products in the Sub-District Health Promoting Level, that was implemented in Crown Prince Hospitals in fiscal year of 2018. The effects on RDU of the measures implemented under the project were investigated through the analysis of RDU performance data collected from 21 Crown Prince Hospitals and 79 hospitals under the Office of the Permanent Secretary. In addition, questionnaires were issued to 100 assigned pharmacists with specific responsibilities in RDU policy in the hospitals. Data was analyzed by descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. The results found that the Crown Prince Hospitals' RDU performance were significantly better than the other hospitals' in 2 out of 20 indicators; which were indicator-2 (p=0.038) and indicator-15 (p=0.048). No difference in these indicators was seen between the hospitals before the initiation of the project. From the questionnaires (77% response), a significant correlation was found between 1) the budget acquirement and the performance with indicator-2 (p=0.039), indicator-18 (p=0.042), and the past performance of the Tambon health promoting hospitals [indicator-19 and 20 (p=0.039)] 2) the executive policy with indicator-2 (p=0.011), indicator-7 (p=0.045) and the past performance of the Tambon health promoting hospitals [indicator-19 and 20 (p=0.011)] 3) the monitoring of the executives with indicator-2 (p=0.020),indicator-10 (p=0.041) and the past performance of the Tambon health promoting hospitals [indicator-19 and 20 (p=0.020)] and 4) the prescribers cooperation with indicator-6 (p<0.001), indicator-7 (p=0.002) and indicator-15 (p=0.040). It concludes that factors associated with hospital executives and their role in initiating hospital policy, were crucial in determining performance indicators in the rational use of antibiotics among hospitals and primary care units. Factors linked to the cooperation of prescribers also affected indicators relating to the rational use of antibiotics in hospital. |
