| Abstract | The objective of this quasi-experimental study was to examine the effects of pharmaceutical care inpatients with dyspepsia at a community pharmacy in Mahasarakham by comparing severity and frequency,knowledge about dyspepsia scores and quality of life scores between study group (receivedpharmaceutical care) and control group (received regular pharmacy service) between January andFebruary 2008. Sixty-two patients with dyspepsia were divided into 2 groups; 32 patients in the studygroup and 30 patients in the control group. No significant difference was found in patients? characteristicsbetween groups. The most common DRP was drug noncompliance, before (81.3% in study group and90.0% in control group), and after pharmaceutical care (43.8% in study group and 93.3% in controlgroup). When comparing with the control group, the severity and the frequency of dyspepsia symptoms inthe study group were significantly decreased after pharmaceutical care was given (p<0.001). Theknowledge scores and the quality of life scores of the study group were significant higher than the controlgroup (p<0.001). Pharmaceutical care in dyspepsia patients could help to decrease drug relatedproblems, severity, and frequency of dyspepsia, and increase patient?s knowledge of disease and qualityof life scores. |
