Abstract

           This study was a one-group pretest-posttest design aimed to compare patients’ knowledge about chemotherapy, side-effect management, and self-care direction, including self-care behaviors of cororectal cancer patients, and patient satisfaction towards the video before and after showing the video with usual pharmaceutical care. Thirty colorectal cancer patients receiving chemotherapy at Somdech Phra Pinklao Hospital were recruited. The tool used in the study were the instruction video for self-care. Data were collected before showing the video and after showing the video for three times separated by 2 weeks for a total of 4 weeks per patient, using 1) a questionnaire on knowledge about chemotherapy, side-effect management, and self-care direction, 2) a questionnaire on self-care behaviors, and 3) a questionnaire on patient satisfaction towards the video. Repeated ANOVA was used to compare the knowledge scores between before and after the video show and Friedman test was used to compare the self-care behaviour scores between before and after the video show. The results indicated that after the video show at week 4, the patients had significantly more knowledge about chemotherapy, side-effect management, and self-care direction and higher scores for appropriate self-care behviors during chemotherapy (p < .001) including overall patient’s satisfaction towards the video at the very good level. The results of this study recommend the use of the instruction video for self-care during receiving chemotherapy in patients with colorectal cancers combined with pharmaceutical care to promote knowledge and behavior of patients according to the role of pharmacists.
