Evaluation of a Tailored Multifaceted Pharmaceutical Care Intervention to Optimize Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Management: Protocol for a Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite the widespread use of inhalation therapy, patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) frequently experience suboptimal disease control due to medication nonadherence, improper inhaler use technique, and inappropriate device selection, which collectively impair health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Pharmacist-led interventions may help address these gaps. Interventions based on the information-motivation-behavioral skills model and supported by digital tools can improve adherence and self-management. This study evaluates the efficacy of a multifaceted pharmaceutical care intervention for COPD delivered through digital tool support.

Objective

The primary objective is to compare the change in HRQoL, measured using the St George's Respiratory
