Evaluation of Improved Outcomes Among Ambulatory Diabetes and/or Hypertensive Patients - an Intervention Study (CPCLINT) (CPCLINT)

August 14, 2023 updated by: Akinniyi Akinbiyi Aje, University of Ibadan

Evaluation of Selected Improved Outcomes Among Patients With Diabetes and/or Hypertension in Designated Community Pharmacies in a Metropolitan City - An Intervention Study

The goal of this interventional study is to compare improved outcomes among diabetes and/or hypertensive patients sequel to educational intervention. The study aims to answer the following questions:

  • What are the patients' levels of health literacy, medication adherence, disease knowledge, attitude to disease, physical activity?
  • Does educational intervention by pharmacists improve health outcomes of patients with diabetes and/or hypertension?
  • Are there associations between patient-related variables such as health literacy, medication adherence, disease knowledge, attitude to disease? Participants' anthropometric measurements and point-of-care testing for disease monitoring e.g., blood pressure, blood glucose would be carried out. Baseline assessment of participants would be done to evaluate their levels of health literacy, medication adherence, disease knowledge, attitude to disease, physical activity.

Patients' baseline assessment would be carried out, after which they would receive educational materials and would be followed up by pharmacist. The baseline assessments would be repeated at three and six months after the intervention to measure the effectiveness of the intervention.

Not yet recruiting

Detailed Description

The anthropometric measurements would include weight, height, waist circumference, hip circumference, from which the body mass index and waist-hip ration would be calculated.

The assessment of the disease knowledge and attitude would be done using validated semi-structured questionnaires earlier designed by the principal investigator and used among ambulatory patients with diabetes and/or hypertension accessing care in tertiary healthcare facilities. The validated International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) would be utilized for participants' physical activity assessment.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Blood pressure control
Time Frame: 6 months
Participants' blood pressure in mmHg measured at baseline, 3- and 6-month postintervention would be compared to find out if there are changes.
6 months
Blood glucose control of participants
Time Frame: 6 months
Fasting blood glucose in mg/dL measured at baseline, 3- and 6-month postintervention. would be compared.
6 months
Participants' level of disease knowledge and attitude
Time Frame: 6 months
The knowledge and attitude scale in the semi-structured questionnaire would be evaluated at baseline, 3- and 6-month postintervention.
6 months
Participants' body mass index calculated by dividing weight in kilograms by the square of height in meters.
Time Frame: 6 months
Participants weight in kilograms and height in meters would be measured at baseline, 3- and 6-month postintervention. Their body mass index would be compared to find out if there are changes.
6 months
Medication adherence of participants using a 4-item medication adherence scale
Time Frame: 6 months
Participants' medication adherence would be evaluated at baseline, 3- and 6-month postintervention using Morisky, Green and Levine 4-item medication adherence scale.
