Abstract

Background: Cardiovascular disease is the most frequent cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. The aim of the study was to determine assessment of risk factors and impact of patient counseling in health-related quality of life of the patient.

Method: This was a prospective observational study conducted in the department of cardiology. A suitably designed standard SF-36 questionnaire was given to all patients enrolled in the study before and after counseling. All information relevant to the study were collected in suitably designed proforma from case records and discussions conducted with the patients and bystanders during ward rounds. Proper counseling was given to patients and bystanders and the score was analyzed using SAS descriptive analysis.

Result: The most common risk factors encountered in the study are diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, irregular exercise, smoking, alcoholism, obesity and family history. The health-related quality of life of the patients were assessed, a total of 67 patients QOL was improved after counseling and 27 patients with no improvement. We found that patient counseling was effective for majority of patients.

Conclusions: We can conclude that the role of clinical pharmacist has a significant role in improving the health-related quality of life of patients through proper counseling. And more than half of the patients have a modifiable risk factor which can be managed through lifestyle modifications.
