Lung transplantation requires a complex therapeutic approach, exposing patients to potential iatrogenic and infectious complications. Within our institution, a Patient Education Program dedicated to lung transplant recipients has been authorized since 2013. Starting November 2020, pharmacy interns and pharmacy students have been actively involved with the implementation of follow-up educational workshops on treatments. To assess the impact of these workshops on patient knowledge, we conducted the EnPhaSE study (Entretien Pharmaceutique - Suivi et Education). This study, a single-center, non-interventional comparative before-and-after evaluation, consisted of two educational sessions held three months apart, where a knowledge assessment questionnaire was administered at the outset of each session. The results of this study demonstrate a positive impact on enhancing patient knowledge. The average knowledge score during the second session showed a significant increase (93 ± 12 versus 68 ± 26; p < 0.001). Additionally, participants expressed a high level of satisfaction with these educational workshops. This work contributes to enhancing the healthcare trajectory of lung transplant patients and underscores the beneficial impact of pharmaceutical educational workshops on improving patient understanding regarding their treatments.
