A simple suspension method was employed from December 2006 for drugs prescribed from 3 of 20 departments of Fukuoka University Hospital where tablets or capsules were often grinded. After two years, this method was employed in 11 departments. To investigate the current status and problems regarding the simple suspension method, a questionnaire survey was conducted involving all nurses working at this hospital. Responses were obtained from 681 nurses (94.1%). The results showed that the drugs that should be suspended were not sufficiently disintegrated, and drugs were not sufficiently disintegrated when multiple drugs were suspended at the same time, suggesting the need for confirming the cause of insufficient disintegration at each time of drug administration. The results also showed that the conventional crushing method was preferred among nurses due to the simple procedure. We have found that these nurses do not fully understand the advantages of this method such as drug discrimination, discontinuation of drug administration, and prevention of tube clogging, suggesting the need for continuously providing drug information for nurses.
