ObjectiveTo describe the types of drug-related problems identified by pharmacists providing pharmaceutical care to elderly patients in the primary care or general medicine setting, and the impact of their recommendations on drug-related outcomes. MethodsSearches of the MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, HealthSTAR, and International Pharmaceutical Abstracts electronic databases from 1990 to 2002 were conducted and a manual search of references from retrieved articles and references on file was performed. Large (n > 100) randomised, controlled studies comparing the provision of pharmaceutical care to usual care in seniors in primary care or general medicine settings were included. Two reviewers evaluated articles based on inclusion criteria and extracted data from the intervention arm of each study, resolving discrepancies by consensus. Nine original articles were included for analysis. Key findingsThe mean number of drug-related problems (DRPs) identified per patient was 3.2 and the mean number of recommendations made per patient was 3.3. The most common DRP identified was not taking/receiving a prescribed drug appropriately (35.2%, range 4.7-49.3%). The most common recommendations made involved patient education (37.2%, range 4.6-48.2%). Implementation rates were generally high for all types of recommendations, with the highest being for provision of patient education (81.6%). The small number of studies available examining measures of drug utilisation and costs, health services utilisation, and patient outcomes produced inconsistent results, making it difficult to draw conclusions. ConclusionsSubstantial numbers and a wide range of DRPs were identified by pharmacists who provided pharmaceutical care to seniors in the primary care and general medicine setting. Pharmacists' drug-therapy recommendations were well accepted; however, further study is needed to determine the impact of these recommendations on health-related outcomes.

A prospective survey of pharmacists' tasks and patients' knowledge and satisfaction was conducted in 35 randomly selected community pharmacies in Tabriz, Islamic Republic of Iran. The total pharmacist interaction received a mean score of 3.05 out of 5. Providing written directions for use attained the highest score of 0.98 out of 1. Patients scored 3.18 out of 5 for knowledge about their medicines. There was a close correlation between patients' knowledge of dispensed drugs and pharmacist interaction (r = 0.95). Mean total prescription filling time was 7.6 min, but only 1.4 min was spent on pharmacist-patient counselling. The interaction between pharmacist and patient increases patients' knowledge about dispensed medicines and their satisfaction with the pharmacist's activities. Rapport entre le dialogue pharmacien-patient, les connaissances du patient relatives aux médicaments délivrés et la satisfaction de ce patient RÉSUMÉ Une étude prospective sur le rôle des pharmaciens et sur les connaissances et la satisfaction des patients a été réalisée dans 35 pharmacies de secteur sélectionnées au hasard à Tabriz (République islamique d'Iran). Le dialogue avec le pharmacien a obtenu un score moyen de 3,05 sur 5. L'écriture par le pharmacien de la posologie a donné lieu au score le plus élevé, à savoir 0,98 sur 1. Le score de 3,18 sur 5 a été atteint sur le point des connaissances des patients concernant leurs médicaments. Il existait une étroite corrélation entre les connaissances des patients sur les médicaments délivrés et le dialogue avec le pharmacien (r = 0,95). La durée totale moyenne de l'exécution de l'ordonnance était de 7,6 minutes, mais le pharmacien ne consacrait que 1,4 minute à dispenser des conseils aux patients. Le dialogue entre le pharmacien et le patient permet à celui-ci d'avoir une meilleure connaissance des médicaments délivrés et augmente sa satisfaction vis-à-vis de la fonction du pharmacien.

“…Pharmacists have the responsibility not only to dispense medicines, but also to contribute to the improved health-related quality of life in the patient (Volume et al, 2001). The elderly have more chronic diseases than younger generations, and they therefore need pharmaceutical services to service their specific medicine-related needs (Mangoni & Jackson, 2004).…”

“…No pilot study was done, due to the sample size and time constraints of this study. The researcher also used questions adapted from those used in other studies in the field of pharmaceutical services and pharmaceutical care (Strand, Cipolle, Morley, & Frakes, 2004;Volume, Farris, Kassam, Cox, & Cave, 2001).…”
