Pharmaceutical care is currently an increasingly common tool facilitating the optimisation of pharmacology. implementation of pharmaceutical care in collaboration with healthcare units, especially the Primary health care (Phc), will result in higher integration of the medical and pharmaceutical professions, resulting in tangible benefits for the patient. Due to this innovative approach, the scope of healthcare services provided by pharmacists has not been thoroughly researched. Objectives. this research investigates the issue of assessing the scope of the services provided within the framework of pharmaceutical care. the paper presents an original concept created by the Medical and Diagnostical centre in siedlice, Poland (McD). Material and methods. the research methodology started with a literature analysis and systematic review. the second stage was brain storming based on the current practical experiences of the MDc. the research and literature analysis were carried out in electronic databases to identify published studies on the scope of services provided within the framework of pharmaceutical care. considering the practical and widely discussed nature of the subject, an internet search was performed as a supplementary strategy to identify articles. the results were then analysed and brainstormed by the managing staff at the MDc. Results. in the research and analysis process, the authors found, named and stated seven types of pharmaceutical services: medication review, medication consultation, pharmaceutical assistance, prophylaxis diagnosis, intervention/urgent visit, patient digitisation, inter nal pharmaceutical consultation. the above services together comprise the coordinated pharmaceutical care process over a patient. it has been tested in the MDc and is now in the implementation phase. Conclusions. identification and reinforcement of the scope of the services provided within the framework of pharmaceutical care may have a crucial influence on the quality and effectiveness of patient care. this care is provided by the pharmacy in close cooperation with the ambulatory medical facilities.","PeriodicalId":305591,"journal":{"name":"Family Medicine & Primary Care Review","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131367856","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Inaloo","doi":"10.5114/fmpcr.2022.118287","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5114/fmpcr.2022.118287","url":null,"abstract":"A – Background. Mothers caring for children with epilepsy are commonly exposed to feelings such as guilt, failure, sadness, isolation and lack of interest in interaction with others. Objectives. The present study aims to examine the relationship between perceived social support and self-care and marital satisfaction in mothers of children with epilepsy in one hospital in Shiraz, Iran. Material and methods. In this descriptive correlational study, the sample included 98 mothers caring for children with epilepsy admit ted to Namazi Hospital. For data collection, four questionnaires were used including demographics, perceived social support, self-care and marital satisfaction. After completion of the questionnaires, the data was analysed using SPSS Statistics 21.0. A significance level of 0.05 was considered in the study. Results. The mothers had an average perceived social support score of 30.48 ± 7.04. The average self-care score of the mothers of epileptic children was 87.45 ± 14.41. Concerning marital satisfaction, the mothers had an average score of 118.93 ± 19.6. The research findings indicated a positive and significant correlation between perceived social support and self-care in the mothers. In other words, the self-care scores were increased with an increase in the perceived social support score ( r = 0.332; p = 0.001). Furthermore, a posi tive and significant correlation was also found between perceived social support and marital satisfaction, i.e. with an increase in the perceived social support score, the marital satisfaction scores of the mothers also increased ( r = 0.201; p = 0.047). Conclusions. The results of the current study indicated that perceived social support has a positive relationship with self-care and marital satisfaction in mothers. Therefore, the provision of social support by the family, friends and society will result in better self-care and higher marital satisfaction in mothers caring for children with epilepsy, which in turn can improve the quality of the care provided to these children by their mothers.","PeriodicalId":305591,"journal":{"name":"Family Medicine & Primary Care Review","volume":"353 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134410262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Smoking is the most dangerous modifiable risk factor all over the world and requires the lowest cost to quit. Objectives. In this study, we aimed to determine the relationship between the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND) and carbon monoxide (CO) levels and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte/lymphocyte ratio (MLR) and RDW, WBC, MPV values. Material and methods. 138 participants who applied to the Smoking Cessation Clinic of Bolu Izzet Baysal Training and Research Hos - pital between January 2022 and March 2022 were included in our study. After obtaining the necessary consent, the FTND test and CO levels in expiratory air were measured. The required haematological values of the participants were evaluated. Results. It was found that there was statistical significance between the CO levels of the participants and their FTND scores, and it was observed that the FTND scores increased as the CO level increased ( p = 0.000). There was a statistically significant correlation be - tween CO levels and PLR ratios and WBC levels ( p = 0.024, p = 0.000). It was determined that as the CO level increased, the PLR ratios decreased, and the WBC values increased. Conclusions. In our study, a positive correlation was found between FTND levels and exhaled CO levels. We can say that CO levels can be a marker in predicting the level of addiction. In addition, it was observed that there was a significant relationship between exhaled CO levels and FTND levels, as well as PLR and WBC values.","PeriodicalId":305591,"journal":{"name":"Family Medicine & Primary Care Review","volume":"29 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120926360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
