Brief Summary

Allergic rhinitis is a chronic respiratory disorder affecting patients' quality of life and work performance. Pharmacists are identified as suitable professionals to deliver patient education and pharmaceutical care in managing allergic rhinitis (AR) patients. Local clinical practice guidelines in Malaysia are lacking, especially in pharmaceutical care in public healthcare institutions. This study protocol describes a randomised control trial (RCT) that aims to determine the effectiveness of a pharmacist-led educational model in managing AR (AR-PRISE Model) compared to standard pharmaceutical care. The AR-PRISE model delivers patient educational material (video) and an algorithm for pharmaceutical care.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Allergic rhinitis symptom control

  Patients are free from any symptoms or reduction in the severity of the symptoms of allergic rhinitis. Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) tool will be used for patients to self-rate their nasal symptoms, including nasal obstruction, itching, sneezing, secretion, runny nose, and sleep difficulty, on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (no symptom) to 3 (severe symptom). The scores will be summed; a higher score indicates the more severe the symptoms are. The measurement of nasal symptoms will be conducted at baseline, on Day 60 ±7, Day 120 ±7, and Day 180 ±7. The outcomes will be generated as a mean and standard deviation. A two-way repeated measure ANOVA analysis will be employed to determine the mean difference between the scores of the control group and the interventional group to determine the overall effectiveness of the intervention.
