Abstract

In this second issue of volume 16, the Journal has been proudly presenting five studies. The disciplines and issues of these research papers were somewhat diverse from applied laboratory work, to clinical practice both for pharmacy and nursing. Interventions to better modify health behavior and lifestyle among type 2 diabetes patients have always been investigated. The research entitled “Effects of Pharmaceutical Care with food Education According to Isan Life Style in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus” showed an intervention catered to local lifestyle. This proves again that one-size-fits-all interventions would never offer the best outcomes for diseases like diabetes that need lifestyle related management. In the study, the intervention was delivered by pharmacists. However, we believe that the intervention could be rendered by other professionals as well which could be considered advantageous both for the provider and the patient. Another intervention to improve diabetic outcomes is the study entitled “Effects of the Resilience Promoting Program on Self-management Behavior and Hemoglobin A1C Level among Older People with Diabetes.” This psychology-based intervention delivered by nurses also deserved an appraisal. With an immense burden on all levels of society, studies about cancer are always of great contribution. The study entitled “Selected Factors Related to Comfort of Advanced Cancer Patients” helps broaden viewers’ view on what providers should be concerned in providing comfort for advanced cancer patients. In this challenging endeavor of the Thai Pharmaceutical and Health Science Journal, we are hopeful to better the quality of the articles published. We urge more submissions from international research community, regional and global. We would like to thank in advance for any prospective submissions. Editor-in-Chief
