A survey was undertaken between November 1994 and January 1995 to assess the knowledge and practice with respect to malaria of 1946 randomly selected households in endemic urban and rural areas of Hormozgan, Kerman and Sistan and Baluchistan Provinces, southeast Iran. Knowledge of inhabitants was relatively poor in the study area despite activities to control the disease there for more than 35 years. Mean scores of the knowledge of the residents of the villages having access to primary health care (PHC) services was significantly lower than that under the services of the mobile teams which may reflect the insignificant attention which has been devoted to health education by PHC workers with respect to malaria and malaria control. An educational campaign directed at increasing the knowledge should result in greater acceptance of residents of personal protection methods and vector control and drug treatment programmes.
Rates of errors in i.v. admixture compounding at five U.S. hospital pharmacies were studied. Pharmacy staff members at five hospitals representing each U.S. geographic region were observed as they compounded sterile products in order to record the medication, dose, base solution, and other details. Intravenous admixtures, antineoplastic preparations, parenteral nutrient solutions, and ready-to-use products were included. Observations took place for five days at each pharmacy. The observers' notes were checked against the labels used to prepare the doses; any deviation was considered an error. The clinical importance of each error was assessed for its potential to affect a patient adversely. The mean error rate for the five hospitals combined was 9% (145 errors for 1679 doses), excluding ready-to-use products. Mean error rates for individual pharmacies ranged from 6% to 10%. Wrong-dose errors were the most common type of error. Parenteral nutrient solutions had the highest error rates-37% for manual preparation and 22% for preparation that was partly automated. Of every 100 errors, 2 were judged to be potentially clinically important. In five U.S. hospital pharmacies, the observed error rate for compounding i.v. admixtures was 9%.
