| Abstract | This randomized controlled trial aimed to develop and assess the effectiveness of the talking label in improving accuracy of drug use in visually impaired women. We divided 32 visually impaired women at Sampran Rehabilitation and Training Center for Blind Women into 2 groups, 16 each. The study group received the talking label (pill box with specific voice explanation on detail of each drug, developed by the researchers). The control group received the normal label. The accuracy of drug use was measured 3 times by the correction of drug details to be taken at each meal answered by the subjects. In the 1st test, both groups received the normal label. At the 2nd and 3rd tests, the study group received the talking labels (earpiece version and speaker version respectively). At the 1st test, the study group showed lower overall accuracy of drug use than the control group, but it was significantly higher in the study group at the 3rd test (25.31?1.81 vs. 19.25?4.17; p < 0.001). There were no significant difference between the ear piece-and the speaker-talking labels. Satisfactions on the labels were also significantly higher in the study group (48.87?2.60 vs. 32.37?6.04; p < 0.001). In conclusion, the talking label can improve accuracy of drug use and it was very well accepted by the target group. |
