  • EDUMAY Project: Effectiveness of a pharmacist intervention in optimizing pharmacotherapy and health education in elderly people from public supervised apartments owned and managed by Pamplona City Council Elena Bujanda Sáinz de Murieta. School of Pharmacy. University of Navarra (Spain). 2009.

    Objective: Design, implementation and evaluation of an educational program on issues related to medication and nutrition aimed at older people. This program is aimed at improving the knowledge, developing values, attitudes and personal skills which promoted their health. Design: A quasi-experimental study with 2 different and independent interventions.

    Population: 41 elderly residents of supervised apartments owned and managed by the Municipality of Pamplona, a city in the north of Spain.

    Outcome variables: Problems related to taking, administering and lack of information on medicines, knowledge, skills and attitudes regarding medications, change of habits and adherence to the Mediterranean dietary pattern.

    Results: The training needs identified were in relation to the lack of knowledge about pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatment, lack of adherence to treatment and false beliefs about medication. Following the completion of the Education on Drugs, there was a significant increase in the adherence to treatment; improvement in medication knowledge, attitudes and skills; and non-pharmacological treatments knowledge. Pharmacist interventions reduced by 21.4% the number of people with drug related problems. Nutrition Education Program achieved a significant improvement in the score for adherence to the Mediterranean dietary score and showed a significant increase in nuts, white meat, legumes and vegetables consumption.
