Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To explore the practice mode of cough and asthma pharmacy clinic in Affiliates Hangzhou First People's Hospital, Zhejiang University, School of Medicine.
METHODS To set up a cough and asthma pharmacy clinic, equipped with corresponding hardware and software facilities, and establish a cough and asthma pharmaceutical care mode. From December 1, 2020 to August 31, 2022, 2 357 patients in the hospital cough and asthma pharmacy clinic were collected, and their general data were analyzed. The patients learned by themselves according to the inhalation video, and then were guided by pharmacists to evaluate the differences in the use skills of patients before and after the intervention of pharmacists. The 345 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who were treated in the cough and asthma pharmacy clinic from December 1, 2020 to July 31, 2021 were collected. They were divided into 30 d follow-up group(
n=173) and 15 d follow-up group(
n=172) according to the blind sampling method. The score difference of Morisky medication Compliance Scale(MMAS-8) at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months of follow-up was compared.
RESULTS Among 2 357 patients, 1 213(51.46%) were males and 1 144(48.54%) were females, 1 309 cases(55.54%) aged ≥60 years old, 563 cases(23.89%) aged 40-59 years old, 402 cases(17.06%) aged 20-39 years old, 32 cases(1.36%) aged 14-20 years old, and 51 cases(2.16%) aged<14 years old. The main diseases of the patients were chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(55.38%) and asthma(20.73%). Budesonide and Formoterol Fumarate powder for inhalation(37.08%) and Budesonide, Glycopyrronium Bromide and Formoterol Fumarate Inhalation Aerosol(25.84%) were frequently used. On the basis of patients' video teaching, pharmacists' mastery of inhaler use skills was better than that of patients' self-learning through video. The score before intervention was 5.360±1.208 and that after intervention was 7.890±0.356. There was significant difference between the two groups(
P<0.05). At a month of follow-up, the MMAS-8 score of the 15-day follow-up group was 6.310±1.079. The MMAS-8 score of the 30 d follow-up group was 5.250±0.977, there was a significant difference between the two groups(
P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in the MMAS-8 score of the two groups at 3, 6, 12-month follow-up.
CONCLUSION The establishment of cough and asthma pharmacy clinic promotes the integration of pharmacy and respiratory clinical discipline, and improves the medication compliance of patients.
