Objectives:To assess the impact of patient education on Interdialytic Weight Gain (IDWG) and Blood Pressure (DBP) in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). Materials and Methods: A Quasi experimental Pre and Post study design was conducted in an outpatient HD unit among 50 patients who were undergoing maintenance HD. The patients were educated by using validated educational material. The data on IDWG, Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) and Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) were collected at baseline, 4 th week, 10 th week and 16 th week. The paired sample t-test was applied to assess the mean change in difference from baseline to 16 th week with p value less than 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: The mean SBP was significantly reduced from baseline (151.60 ± 19.99 mmHg) to 16 th week (144 ± 15.70 mmHg) with p value 0.021 in pre HD patients and also in post HD patients from baseline (157 ± 21.65 mmHg) to 16 th week (144.62 ± 16.03 mmHg) with p value 0.001. The mean Pre and Post IDWG was significantly reduced after the patient education from baseline (3.44 ± 1.36 kg) to the end of the study i.e. 16 th week (2.76 ± 0.90 kg) with p value 0.001 in the HD session patients. Conclusion: The small group education in patients undergoing HD leads to decrease in IDWG, SBP in Pre and Post-HD sessions patients and DBP in Post-HD session patients significantly from baseline to post education but DBP in Post-HD patients were not reduced significantly.

Background: Patient information leaflets (PILs) are effectively used to improve the patient's knowledge about medications, disease, diet, and lifestyle modifications. Aim: This study aims to develop and evaluate PILs for coronary heart disease patients. Materials and Methods: Primary, secondary, and tertiary resources were used to develop PILs. The developed PILs were validated by four doctors, four academic pharmacists, and one dietician. PILs design and layout was prepared using barker able leaflet design (BALD) criteria. PILs readability was assessed using the Flesch Reading Ease test (FRE), Flesch–Kincaid Grade Level (FKGL), and user readability methods. User opinion on PILs content and design was obtained from patients. Results: The FRE and FKGL readability scores were 61.5 and 7.4, respectively. The BALD criteria scores for English, Kannada, and Malayalam PILs were 28, 27, and 26, respectively. The overall user testing readability means scores had significantly improved from 45 to 79.30. Nearly 82.55% of patients rated the PILs as good design and content. Conclusion: The developed leaflet met the standard criteria for easy reading and comprehension. The majority of the patients gave good opinion on the content and design of the PILs.

The results demonstrate that pharmacist services have varying effects on patient outcomes compared with usual care. We found no studies comparing services delivered by pharmacists with other healthcare professionals that evaluated the impact of the intervention on the six main outcome measures. The results need to be interpreted cautiously because there was major heterogeneity in study populations, types of interventions delivered and reported outcomes.There was considerable heterogeneity within many of the meta-analyses, as well as considerable variation in the risks of bias.
