| Popis: | People with chronic disease often have poor comprehension of their disease and medications, which can negatively affect health outcomes. In a randomised‐controlled trial, we found that patients with decompensated cirrhosis who received a pharmacist‐led, patient‐oriented education and medication management intervention (n = 57) had greater knowledge of cirrhosis and key self‐care tasks compared with usual care (n = 59). Intervention patients also experienced improved quality of life. Dedicated resources are needed to support implementation of evidence‐based measures at local centres to improve outcomes. |
