A program to promote and assess the provision of family directed counseling by pharmacists on the understanding of pediatric asthma is discussed. The program consisted of two questionnaires separated by an educational intervention program. The initial questionnaire was developed to evaluate participants' understanding of asthma and its management. The aim of the intervention program was to improve this understanding through counseling, demonstration, and sharing of families' experiences with asthma. The second questionnaire assessed post-intervention knowledge including short-term retention of information. Before the intervention, few participants (14%) indicated that they were counseled by a pharmacist about the safe and effective use of asthma medications. Seventy-nine percent indicated that more information would aid them in better understanding asthma and possibly better controlling their child's illness. After the intervention, participants were able to correctly answer questions about asthma and medications used to manage the disease 78% of the time. This program offers one method for pharmacists to become involved in patient care through the provision of education and counseling. It also provides an avenue to encourage patients and their families to gain a deeper understanding of asthma and its management.
本文讨论了一项旨在促进并评估药剂师提供有关小儿哮喘认知的家庭指导咨询服务的项目。该项目由两份问卷组成，中间穿插一个教育干预项目。初始问卷旨在评估参与者对哮喘及其管理的了解程度。干预项目的目的是通过咨询、示范以及分享家庭哮喘经历来增进这种了解。第二份问卷评估干预后的知识，包括信息的短期留存情况。干预前，很少有参与者（14%）表示曾接受药剂师关于哮喘药物安全有效使用的咨询。79%的参与者表示更多信息将有助于他们更好地了解哮喘，并可能更好地控制孩子的病情。干预后，参与者能够在78%的情况下正确回答有关哮喘及用于治疗该疾病药物的问题。该项目为药剂师通过提供教育和咨询参与患者护理提供了一种方法。它还为鼓励患者及其家人更深入地了解哮喘及其管理提供了一条途径。
