This study was carried out on patients who were under anticoagulation treatment with warfarin, at the outpatient cardiology clinic. The aim was to determine the effectiveness of pharmacist consultation, education, and intervention on each patient's therapeutic results. A cross-sectional randomized trial has been done. Twenty-five patients were included in the study. The Oral Anticoagulation Knowledge (OAK) Test, Short Form-36 (SF-36) and Duke Anticoagulation Satisfaction Scale (DASS) were applied. Patients resumed their routine anticoagulation treatment and INR and complications were recorded during the study. Additionally, patients received patient education, consultation on lifestyle and anticoagulant usage issues from a pharmacist. The same tests were applied again to the patients on the 90th day of the study and the results were compared with the initial test. Maintenance of INR within the target range and complication rates were compared before and after the intervention. Pre-test and post-test results of the patients revealed statistically significant improvements on the physical and mental score components of the SF-36 (p = 0.001; p = 0.001), OAK test scores (p ≤ 0.001) and the (negative) "limitations" and "burdens" and "positive effects" components of the DASS (p = 0.005; p < 0.001; p = 0.001). The successful maintenance of INR within target range was significantly higher (p = 0.027). The positive effects of pharmacist consultation and education on therapeutic results were demonstrated.
Background: Since the outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and with the absence of conventional social interactions, artificial intelligence and simulation become essential part of sustaining productivity around the world. MyDispense, an online pharmacy simulation, allows students to experience real-life situations in a virtual professional setting to behave as a pharmacist and undertake professional tasks.
Aim: The study aim was to see how MyDispense influenced pharmacy students' clinical pharmacy education outcomes.
Methods: A questionnaire was used to assess satisfaction, confidence and motivation, clinical experience, and decision-making among 81 students of both genders pre and post the practice.
Results: Pre and post-test differences in all four dimensions of the questionnaire were statistically significant (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The results obtained from this study indicate a collective improvement in the field-related knowledge of the participants, enhanced medication management performance, and a more precise application of clinical tools.
Investigation of the protective effect of gel incorporating Eugenia jambolana leaf extract on 5-fluorouracil-induced oral mucositis: an animal study (2022)
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, toplum eczacıların kilo verme ilaçları hakkındaki bilgilerini gözlemleyerek, hastalara yönelik tutum ve davranışlarını analiz ederek ve hastalara aktarım şekillerini belirleyerek obezite yönetimindeki rolünü daha iyi anlamaktır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Etik onaydan sonra, çevrimiçi Google formu aracılığıyla bir anket uygulanarak kesitsel bir çalışma yapılmıştır. Araştırma Kahramanmaraş ilinde çalışan toplum eczacılar üzerinden yürütülmüştür. Anketler, toplum eczacıların zayıflama ürünlerine yönelik bilgi ve tutumlarını değerlendirmek için tasarlanmıştır. Veriler daha sonra Windows 26.0 için SPSS programı (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) kullanılarak analiz edilmilştir.Sonuçlar ve Tartışma: Yüzde seksen altı, kilo yönetimi için ürün satın almak isteyen müşterilere ürünün güvenli ve etkili kullanımı konusunda her zaman/sıklıkla danışmanlık yaptığını ve %69,9'u zayıflama ürünlerini dağıtırken ilaç-gıda etkileşimini her zaman/sıklıkla kontrol ettiğini bildirdi. toplum Eczacıların çoğunluğu (%72,8) eczacının sürekli eğitiminin kilo yönetimi ve eğitimini içermesi gerektiği konusunda hemfikirdi.Ankete katılan eczacılar, kilo verme ürünleri hakkında orta düzeyde bilgiye sahipti. Zaman, personel ve bütçe kısıtlılığı, eczacıların kilo yönetimi hizmetleri sunmalarının önünde engeldir. Eczacıların mezun olduktan sonra kilo yönetimi konusunda eğitimlerinin devam etmesi, etkili kilo yönetimi hizmetleri sunmaları için yeterli kaynaklarla eczacıların desteklenmesi ve daha kapsamlı araştırmalar yapılması obezite ile mücadelede kritik rol oynayabilir.
Objective: Our study aimed to assess the role of pre-graduate pharmacy students' participation in a diabetic education program on improving diabetic self-care.Material and Method: This study included both a cross-sectional and a longitudinal follow-up. Altinbas University fifth-year pharmacy students gathered relevant information from diabetic patients that visited community pharmacies, under the supervision of their instructor pharmacist. The participants filled out the diabetic self-care scale on their first visit before they were given the education. Patients refilled the same selfcare questionnaire after three months. Statistical package for the social science (SPSS) 26 was used for all statistical analysis.Result and Discussion: The study comprised 86 diabetic patients. The second questionnaire results showed significant improvement in all patients. The total diabetic self-care scale scores were improved remarkably after the training session. HbA1c and BMI values decreased significantly. An educational program can improve diabetic self-care and diabetic outcomes. Active participation of final year pharmacy students in patient care can also improve pharmacists' participation and contribution to patient care delivery.
