This study evaluated the effects of an intervention on rates of skin cancer prevention counseling by pharmacists.
Fifty-four pharmacies were randomly assigned to intervention or control conditions. Intervention consisted of training, feedback, and prompts. Counseling rates before and after the intervention were obtained from study confederates.
At pretest, the proportions of control and intervention sites providing counseling at least once were 7.4% and 0%, respectively (NS). At posttest, these proportions were 3.7% and 66.7%, respectively (P < .001).
The results indicated that the intervention was successful and that pharmacists can play an important role in educating the public about skin cancer prevention strategies.
本研究评估了一项干预措施对药剂师进行皮肤癌预防咨询率的影响。
54家药店被随机分配到干预组或对照组。干预措施包括培训、反馈和提示。干预前后的咨询率由研究协同者获取。
在预测试时,对照组和干预组至少提供一次咨询的比例分别为7.4%和0%(无统计学差异)。在测试后,这些比例分别为3.7%和66.7%(P < .001)。
结果表明该干预措施是成功的,并且药剂师在向公众宣传皮肤癌预防策略方面可以发挥重要作用。
