Abstract

This randomized control trail aimed to evaluate the effects of the patient-centered pharmaceutical care (PCPC) intervention among the uncontrolled hypertensive patients. The participants were uncontrolled hypertensive patients, selected from four health–promoting hospitals in Muang Phayao district, Phayao province, Thailand. Eligible patients were recruited and randomly assigned, by the hospital, to either PCPC (n = 36) or usual care (UC) group (n = 33). The PCPC group was provided with three PCPC interventions at home and one telemonitoring by a clinical pharmacist. Primary outcomes were systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP). Secondary outcomes were patients’ knowledge; self– care behaviors; medication adherence and quality of life (QOL). The outcomes were measured at baseline, sixth and twelfth week of the study. At the first evaluation, the results indicated that knowledge and self-care behaviors in the PCPC group were significantly higher than those of the UC group. At the end of the study, the SBP of PCPC group was lower than that of the UC group significantly. According to the PCPC group, patients’ knowledge and self-care behaviors were improved significantly compared to the UC group. Medication adherence and QOL were not significantly differences. In conclusion, the PCPC intervention was an effective intervention for uncontrol hypertensive patients and it improved patients’ SBP, knowledge and self-care behaviors.
