Evaluation of the Use of Drug Therapy-Related Quality of Life Measure in Pharmaceutical Care for Outpatients
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To compare the effect of pharmaceutical care in terms of drug-related quality of life between patients with the use of the Patient-Reported Outcome Measure of Pharmaceutical Therapy (PROMPT) in the provision of pharmaceutical care and those without the use of the PROMPT. Methods: The study was a single-blind, randomized, controlled intervention study in 315 outpatients at Samutprakan hospital during August 2018 to February 2019. The study randomly allocated patients into standard group (with no use of the PROMPT in the provision of pharmaceutical care) and the intervention group (with the use of the PROMPT). The researchers collected data with the PROMPT twice i.e., before and after intervention during nest patient visit. Results: After the provision of pharmaceutical care, Intervention group had a significantly higher score on overall quality of life, compared to standard group with mean of 82.1±16.7 and 78.6±16.2, respectively. Conclusions: The use of PROMPT in pharmaceutical care increased drug-related quality of life in overall quality of life domain.
