详细说明
Method and design:
This study was estimated to include 250 participants in a clinical randomized controlled trial. The participants were included from the Acute Medical Ward and the Department of Respiratory Medicine at Bispebjerg Hospital when discharged. The participants were randomized to one of two groups with unequal sizes: the control (50 participants) or intervention group (200 participants). This study used blocked randomization with block sizes of 5/10/15/20/25. The control group received the normal care following the Danish standard procedure. Participants in the intervention group also received the normal care but was also offered the possibility to contact a hospital pharmacy department by phone or mail and ask questions regarding drug-related issues.
Data for the primary outcome measures was collected 14 days after discharge through structured phone interviews. An interview guide with a semi-structured questionnaire and already validated questions were developed, pre-tested and optimized. The participants were asked to answer open-ended questions, closed-ended question and rate statements or questions on a five-point scale.
The participants in the control group were asked to answer 13 items (seven questions or statements on a five-point scale, four closed-ended questions and two open-ended questions).
The participants in the intervention group who did not make any queries were asked the same questions as the participants in the control group and additionally three closed-ended questions. A total of 16 items.
The participants in the intervention group who made queries were asked the same questions as the participants in the intervention group who did not make any queries and additionally five questions on a five-point scale, four closed-ended and one open-ended question. A total of 27 items.
The effect of the drug counseling regarding patient safety was evaluated by a pharmaceutical assessment in which it was assessed whether the drug counseling had potentially prevented a drug-related problem.
Quantitative data from the phone interviews will be analyzed in Microsoft excel with descriptive statistics and simple parametric statistics. An analysis will determine whether there is a difference in the primary outcome measures.
