A study was conducted on three adult medicine units in a 300-bed teaching hospital to (1) evaluate the effect of a slide-tape program in increasing patients' short-term knowledge of theophylline treatment and (2) evaluate the effect on this knowledge of a pharmacist's presence during the educational session. Thirty-four patients were assigned randomly to one of two treatment groups. Patients in both groups viewed a 10-minute program, Group 1 patients with the pharmacist present and Group 2 patients alone. Patient knowledge was measured before and after the educational program with identical 20-item objective tests. The posttest scores of both groups were significantly higher than their pretest scores (p less than 0.05). No significant difference was found in the mean improvement in scores between the two groups. Pharmacist-designed audiovisual patient education programs can be used effectively in the pharmacist's absence.
在一家拥有300张床位的教学医院的三个成人内科病房进行了一项研究，以（1）评估幻灯片录像节目对增加患者关于茶碱治疗的短期知识的效果，以及（2）评估教育课程期间药剂师在场对这种知识的影响。34名患者被随机分配到两个治疗组中的一组。两组患者都观看了一个10分钟的节目，第1组患者观看时有药剂师在场，第2组患者单独观看。在教育课程前后，用相同的20项客观测试来测量患者的知识。两组的后测分数均显著高于其前测分数（p<0.05）。两组之间在分数的平均提高方面未发现显著差异。药剂师设计的视听患者教育节目在药剂师不在场的情况下也可以有效使用。
