Abstract
Objectives: To develop infographic media for pharmacists as a tool facilitating their counseling to
HIV-infected patients receiving antiretroviral, and to evaluate the accuracy and suitability of the media in practice. Methods: The research was an innovation development and a descriptive study. The study started by collecting essential knowledge on the issue for infographic media development from documents, academic evidences, manuals, and the inquiries in pharmacists whose responsibility was to provide consultation to HIV-infected patients. Subsequently, the content of the media was assessed in terms of completeness and accuracy by 3 experts. Storyboards or blocks of narratives were written. The researchers, then, developed the infographic media using computer programs according to the storyboards. The accuracy and suitability for the practical use were evaluated by 5 pharmacists who were responsible for giving consultation to HIV-infected patients. Results: Evaluation of the media showed that their accuracy and suitability were at the good to very good levels and the overall satisfaction of pharmacists towards their use was at a good level. However, there were suggestions on storytelling in media, pictures, characters, and sounds that should be modified and improved. Conclusions: The developed infographic media had the overall accuracy and suitability for practical use at the good level. However, some suggestions should be considered for revising the infographic media to improve their completeness and the suitability for practical use.
