Abstract

Objective: To study the effect of pharmaceutical care with motivational interview and education provided by pharmacists in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease on lung function, re-admission to the emergency room, re-hospitalization, number of inhalers used to relieve asthma, effects of COPD on well-being and daily activities, medication knowledge, incorrect use of inhalers and medication adherence. Methods: The study was a randomized and controlled trial. Subjects were 134 COPD patients at the Easy Asthma Clinic of Cha-uat Hospital. The subjects were randomly assigned to the experimental group (n = 69) and the control group (n = 65). The experimental group received MI, education on medication and self-care for 2 sessions (at month 2 and 4) and 2 follow-up phone calls (at months 1 and 3). The control group received regular services from the hospital. The patients were followed up 3 times at months 0, 2 and 4. Results: At the end of the study, lung function (P = 0.013), medication adherence (P = 0.001) and medication knowledge (P‹0.001) of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group. Asthma attack (P = 0.003), the number of inhaler use to relieve symptoms (P = 0.021), incorrect use of inhalers (P ‹0.001), and medication non-adherence (P<0.001) of the study group were significantly lower than those of the control group. Re-admission to emergency room, re-hospitalization and impacts of COPD on the well-being and daily activities of the study group were not different from those of the control group. Conclusion: MI and educational provision by pharmacists significantly increased lung function, medication adherence and medication knowledge, and significantly reduced the number of patients with asthma attack, number of inhaler use to relieve symptoms, medication non-adherence, and incorrect use of inhalers.
