dc.description.abstract | Background: Multicomponent interventions are increasingly utilized to tackle the complexity of
aging and co-morbid patients. However, descriptions of interventions are generally poor, making
it difficult for healthcare providers to implement successful programs.
Objectives: This study aimed to explore the completeness of intervention description of
pharmacist-facilitated medication reviews (MRs) in Nordic primary care settings.<p>
<p>Methods: We performed a scoping review of studies reporting on pharmacist-facilitated MRs in
Nordic primary care settings. Medline, Embase, CINAHL and Web of Science were searched on 24
January 2024. We used Arksey and O’Mally’s framework for scoping studies and applied an
adapted version of the Template for Intervention Description and Replication (TIDieR) checklist to
evaluate intervention reporting. The Pharmaceutical Care Network Europe (PCNE) classification of
MR levels was used to identify the components of different MRs.
<p>Results: Sixteen studies were included in this scoping review. The studies were conducted in
Sweden (n=7), Norway (n=6), Finland (n=2) and Denmark (n=1). Information on the participating
pharmacists’ expertise, qualifications and training was fully reported in only two studies. Twelve
studies did not provide any information related to intervention cost, dose or duration, making it
challenging to estimate the economic impact of the intervention. Only one study made an
evaluation of intervention fidelity. Conversely, 15 studies lacked information on this topic which
can lead to inaccurate conclusions about the program’s effectiveness.
<p>Conclusion: The studies included in this scoping review do not provide sufficient MR information
for intervention replication. We recommend that pharmacy trials use reporting checklists to
increase the replicability and transferability of effective interventions. | en_US |
