    Summary

    Patient education is crucial for safe self-administration of leucovorin calcium, a medication used with high-dose methotrexate to prevent side effects. Resource materials were developed and evaluated to ensure correct dosing and minimize waste.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Pharmacology
    • Patient Education

    Background:

    • High-dose methotrexate is a chemotherapy agent requiring leucovorin calcium rescue.
    • Leucovorin calcium mitigates severe methotrexate-induced toxicity.
    • Accurate self-administration of leucovorin calcium is vital for patient safety and treatment efficacy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop educational resource materials for patients self-administering leucovorin calcium.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of these developed patient resources.

    Main Methods:

    • Creation of patient-focused educational materials on leucovorin calcium ampule handling and dosage.
    • Evaluation of the developed resource materials for clarity and utility.

    Main Results:

    • Educational materials were successfully developed for patient use.
    • The resources aim to improve patient understanding and self-administration technique.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective patient education is essential for managing high-dose methotrexate therapy.
    • Developed resource materials can support safe and accurate leucovorin calcium self-administration.
