Abstract
Objectives This study evaluated the effect of implementing a hierarchical pharmaceutical service pattern based on the knowledge–attitude–practice (KAP) intervention theory on patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Methods Eligible patients were randomly divided into an intervention or control group. Pharmaceutical service classification criteria were formulated and used to provide patients with differing levels of pharmaceutical services. The classification scores and KAP levels of patients before and at various time points after the intervention were analyzed. The rates of acute attacks and adverse reactions, related clinical test indices, and disease activity were evaluated in both groups. Results After 9 months of intervention, the proportions of first- and second-level services in the intervention group declined by 14.43% and 3.94%, respectively, compared with the control group, and the rates of acute attacks and adverse reactions declined by 18.26% and 12.43%, respectively. The KAP level, clinical test indices, and disease activity were significantly different between the groups. Conclusion Providing patients with systemic lupus erythematosus with pertinent hierarchical pharmaceutical services based on the KAP theory was instrumental in changing patients’ behavior and contributed to facilitating disease self-management, thus improving the quality of pharmaceutical services.
