Attitudes Towards Deprescribing Medications in Cancer Patients and Impact of Educational Intervention by a Clinical Pharmacist

Официальное название

Attitudes Towards Deprescribing of Non-oncologic Medication in Cancer Pacient and the Impact of an Educational Intervention by a Clinical Pharmacist

Обзор

Participation in this study consists in responding to some questions from two questionnaires in Romanian about how participants feel about deprescribing, participants' treatment and how participants understand medical information. After that, participants will receive a brochure and watch a video with some basic information about medications and participants' involvement in treatment decisions and in the next visit for cancer treatment participants will be asked to answer questions from one of the initial questionnaire.

Подробное описание

Cancer patients are susceptible to using a lot of medications, with an increased risk of drug-related problems that could lead to adverse reactions from oncological drugs, hospital admissions, deteriorated performance status and increased mortality. In time, some medications may no longer be efficient, may have adverse reactions or may lose their indication and need to be stopped or replaced. This process is named deprescribing and it's supervised by a health care professional. Deprescribing can't be done without the implication of the patients, that's why it's important to investigate cancer patient's attitudes towards deprescribing non-oncologic medications in Romanian patients using a validated questionnaire (rPATD). Recent studies from Romania showed a possible lack of health care literacy that could affect patients involvement in treatment decision. In this study, will investigate health care literacy using a validated questionnaire in Romanian (HLS-EU-Q16). In this study investigators will also study if an educational intervention (targeting patients involvement in treatment decision and mandatory, minimal information about efficacy of a treatment and its adverse reactions) conducted by a clinical pharmacist using a brochure and a video will improve their engagement and knowledge about drugs. Impact of educational intervention will be investigated by applying the rPATD questionnaire before and after the intervention.
