## Abstract

To explore the effect of multi-disciplinary cooperative mobile device-assisted drug education on the satisfaction of inpatients drug education.

Mobile nursing vehicle, IPAD, and mobile phone were used to scan QR code to play drug propaganda videos and distribute drug propaganda materials. Doctors, nurses and pharmacists cooperated to complete drug education for inpatients. The satisfaction on drug education of inpatients was collected through a third-party satisfaction survey.

Before implementation, the four satisfactions of communicating about the drug, understanding the purpose of the drug, informing the role of the drug and informing the side effect of the drug were 83.9%, 80.4%, 83.8% and 83.9%, respectively, and after the implementation increased to 88.2%, 86.4%, 89.6% and 87.3% (P<0.05). The effective rate of drug education among inpatients increased from 95% before the implementation to 99.4%, and the medication compliance of inpatients increased from 93.1% before the implementation to 98.75%.

Multi-subject cooperative mobile device-assisted drug education can improve the satisfaction of inpatients drug education, the efficiency of drug education and drug compliance.
