Establishment of a communication environment supporting low-health literacy in the Hungarian community pharmacies: the introduction of a methodological recommendation: a before-after study.

Abstract：

OBJECTIVES:The research aimed to support the effectiveness and necessity of the communication training and methodology introduced in the postgraduate pharmacy training and community pharmacy practice in Hungary. DESIGN:Two cross-sectional questionnaire surveys before and after the introduction of a methodological recommendation. SETTING:69 Hungarian community pharmacies. PARTICIPANTS:The study included 333 pharmacists and pharmacy technicians from community pharmacies, 890 and 847 patients (over 18 who bought their prescribed medication) at the beginning and the end of the project, respectively. INTERVENTIONS:A 3-day postgraduate health literacy-focused communication training followed by the 'Train the trainer' teaching method at pharmacies, then the introduction of the learnt methodology using uniform information materials and a communication checklist. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES:Primary: total score of the staff and patient questionnaires and the change in score due to the intervention, total and for each question. Secondary: the differences between sexes, age groups, marital statuses, educational attainments and types of settlement. RESULTS:The mean score of the preintervention patient group was 64.07% which increased to 72.72% by the end of the project (p<0.001). For staff, the mean score of the initial questionnaires was 74.47%, and that of the final questionnaires was 85.21% (p<0.001). According to both groups, professionals made the most progress in encouraging patients to ask questions. CONCLUSIONS:It can be stated that the presented methodology can be used to develop the communication skills of a large number of professionals in a short time, using a small number of instructors, so it is worthwhile to introduce this methodology as part of compulsory postgraduate training.
