“…Only one of the ten studies was a pharmacist-based patient education intervention [27]. In a study of 53 elderly patients referred to a day hospital, Wandless et al reported that there was no evidence to support the hypothesis that patients counseled by a pharmacist would exhibit improved compliance [27]. In contrast to the methodology of our study, there was no effort by the pharmacist to systematically identify and address patient needs beyond a mere understanding of dosage instructions.…”

The purpose of this study was to evaluate a pharmacist-initiated, total package, patient education program based on the concepts described in the PRECEDE model. This program was directed towards 94 therapeutically complex elderly patients and consisted of a medication history, therapeutic evaluation, patient education needs assessment, patient education session, and a patient feedback/satisfaction telephone interview. Pharmacists identified on average 5.6 medication-related problems and provided an average of 6.2 recommendations. Problems commonly identified involved inadequate drug knowledge (25.5%), noncompliance (22.7%), and inappropriate drug use (17.4%). Typical recommendations included altering drug use (35.9%), improving compliance behavior (18.1%), and improving communication with health professionals (18.1%). Patient satisfaction with the education session was overwhelmingly positive. Based on the findings of this study, it is apparent that a patient education program based on the PRECEDE model can be used successfully by pharmacists to prepare education plans that would benefit the therapeutically complex elderly patient.

“…Dentre as intervenções realizadas pelo farmacêutico descritas nos estudos, destacam-se: atenção farmacêutica (Olesen et al, 2014;Sánchez-Gili et al, 2011;Volume et al, 2001), aconselhamento farmacêutico (Clifford et al, 2006;Wandless & Whitmore, 1981), dispensação individualizada e educação do paciente (Lee, Grace & Taylor, 2006), educação do paciente e revisão de medicamentos (Lowe et al, 2000) e acompanhamento com farmacêutico clínico (Lipton & Bird, 1994).

Concordance between observer reports and patient survey reports of pharmacists’ communication behaviors

Background Findings from studies on pharmacist-patient communication differ on the extent of communication by pharmacists. This disagreement could be due to different methods of data collection, samples and concepts used to measure pharmacist-patient communication. Objectives This research compared findings from two widely used methods of data collection (survey and observation) to identify: 1) how much pharmacists communicate with patients, 2) agreement between observation and patient report data on pharmacist information giving and question asking and 3) how patient perceptions of question asking vary according to the structure of the question asked. Methods Results While there was good agreement between the two measures regarding pharmacist information provision, this was less true of question asking. Certain types of questions showed greater concordance with the observed pharmacist questions. Patients were less likely to report having been asked a question when it took the form of a nonspecific closed ended questions, i.e., “Any questions?” Conclusions One of the most frequent questions pharmacists ask patients may not be either remembered or perceived by patients as a serious question, let alone an invitation to raise a concern. Second, during the selection of a specific method of data collection, researchers need to weigh specific strengths and weaknesses of the method of data collection and evaluate which concepts can be accurately measured by a specific method of data collection. Multi-method studies should be encouraged.
