[Development of a standardized guide for optimizing drug adherence information to be dispensed during a pharmaceutical counseling with a multiple myeloma patient: Final validation]. / Élaboration d'un guide standardisé d'informations d'optimisation de l'adhésion médicamenteuse à dispenser lors d'une consultation pharmaceutique au patient atteint de myélome multiple : validation finale.

An initial validation of a standardized pharmaceutical counselling guide was carried out in a previous study to improve medication adherence in patients treated for multiple myeloma with oral anticancer therapies. The main objective of this work was the final validation of this guide with 10 naive patients. The main secondary objectives were to assess for the patient the evolution of knowledge about the treatment, understanding of the purpose of the pharmaceutical counselling, adherence to the tools. Each patient completed a self-administered questionnaire: before and after the first pharmaceutical counselling. The primary endpoint was the average success rate per question after the pharmaceutical counselling (a value of ≥ 90% validated knowledge acquisition). Secondary judgement criteria were: change in average success rates per patient and question, rate of reformulation of the objective of the pharmaceutical counselling, response rate to presentation questions, readability and understanding. No average success rate per question after the pharmaceutical counselling was statistically less than 90%. The average success rates per patient before and after the pharmaceutical counselling were 78.9±13.7% vs 96.1±3.9% (P=0.01). The average success rates per question were different for 4 questions. All patients were able to reformulate the objective of the pharmaceutical counselling and validated the presentation, readability and understanding of the documents. This study led to the final validation of the pharmaceutical counselling guide.

The safety of the community treatment with oral anticancer therapies is a strong theme of the cancer plan 2014-2019. The objective of this study was to develop a Pharmaceutical Counseling Guide to improve medication adherence in patients treated for multiple myeloma with oral anticancer therapies. A multidisciplinary professional working group selected a list of relevant medication adherence-related items that served as the framework for the design of the pharmaceutical counseling support materials in patient-accessible language. The readability, understanding and memorization of the information were validated in ten patients treated for myeloma. Twelve items were selected for treatment information (5 items), treatment planning (5 items), and adverse drug effects (2 items). A pharmacist guide, a patient guide, a medication schedule, and three self-questionnaires to evaluate medication knowledge and understanding of patients were developed. The patient test resulted in changes in these documents. This study carried out the initial validation of documents to standardize the pharmaceutical counseling for patients treated for myeloma so that it can be reproduced from one patient to another regardless of the pharmacist, by standardizing the information issued. This study needs to be completed by a final validation in myeloma patients, free from oral anticancer therapies.
