Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of clinical pharmacist consultation and the level of satisfaction among cancer patients undergoing cycle 1 chemotherapy. Subject and method: The pre-post intervention study was conducted on 79 cancer patients who were undergoing cycle 1 chemotherapy at the 108 Military Central Hospital. Result: The findings of this study indicate that cancer patients who underwent chemotherapy experienced a significant increase in their knowledge score, which rose from 35.7 to 73.3 out of 100 (p<0.001). The majority of the questions (10/15), exhibited a twofold increase in the proportion of patients who responded accurately after having consultation. There was a statistically significant increase in the proportion of patients who provided correct answers in regarding general treatment knowledge and chemotherapy regimens as separate entities. Following the counseling sessions, a significant majority of patients (98.7%) expressed their positive evaluation of the counseling activities as being “beneficial”. All participants expressed the significance of receiving counseling from clinical pharmacists as "important", and they found the information provided to be "sufficient". 97.5% of patients expressed a level of satisfaction categorized as either "satisfied" or "very satisfied" with regards to the duration of their consultation. Conclusion: Counseling by clinical pharmacists has a significant impact on enhancing the level of knowledge among cancer patients who are undergoing cycle 1 chemotherapy. The integration of medication counseling into regular practice serves to enhance the existing counseling model. The objective is to enhance the quality of cancer treatment at the hospital.
