| description | The role of pharmacists in chronic disease state management is becoming a norm
especially in the developed nations. In developing countries context, the role of
pharmacists in chronic disease state management such as hypertension is yet to be
fully explored. Therefore the aim of this research was to assess the impact of a
pharmacist led educational intervention for improving clinical and quality of life
outcomes among hypertensive patients in Quetta city, Pakistan.
A mix methodological approach using both qualitative and quantitative methods was
used to conduct the research. For the qualitative arm of the research, sixteen
hypertensive patients were interviewed and thematic content analysis identified five
major themes. In order to gain an insight of self management of hypertension, a
focus group discussion was conducted with 19 hypertensive patients. The study
found that the self management strategies were influenced by social sources, peers or
family members with little information received from healthcare professionals.
Exercise of self-management was strongly linked to the comparative advantages and
disadvantages of long term medication use. |
