The objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of pharmacist-provided individualized education with standardized video education for(a) improving patient understanding of gastropathy caused by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and (b) stimulating the use of a medication list. Home care patients were assessed and then randomized to receive either video education or a tailored intervention from a home care pharmacist. Patients in the tailored group were more likely to keep an updated list (p = .033) and utilize it before purchasing over-the-counter medications (p = .043). Tailored education may be more effective than standardized video education for changing behaviors related to NSAID-induced gastropathy.

Key Words: nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) • gastropathy • patient education • medication list • transtheoretical model
