After a pre-post assessment of patients\u2019 IP, descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were performed. The impact of pharmacists\u2019 intervention on IP was determined by paired-sample statistics and correlation analysis at the 95% CI. Relationships and predictors of IP were determined using Kendall\u2019s tau-b (\u03c4b), likelihood ratio, and F tests of equality of means, respectively. P &amp;lt; 0.05 was considered statistically significant.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Pharmacists\u2019 educational intervention significantly improved IP (SEM, 0.13; r = 0.875; P &amp;lt; 0.0001) among the 200 participants. The analyses also showed a significant paired sample difference (2.662; SEM, 0.06; 95%CI, 2.536-2.788; t = 41.69; df = 199; P &amp;lt; 0.0001). All subscales of patients\u2019 IP significantly improved except for illness consequences (P = 0.173) and identity (mean [SD], 4.40 [3.730] in both pre- and postintervention assessments). Pre- and postintervention assessments showed a significant negative relationship of IP with age (\u03c4b = \u2013110 [P = 0.040] and \u03c4b = \u201314 [P = 0.021], respectively), Gleason score (\u03c4b = \u20130.125 [P = 0.021] and \u03c4b = \u20130.124 [P=0.012], respectively), and age at diagnosis (\u03c4b = \u20130.103 [P = 0.036] post intervention). IP was significantly dependent on the drug therapy (df = 8; mean square [M] = 6.292; F = 2.825; P = 0.006), alcohol intake (df = 1; M = 9.608; F = 4.082; P = 0.045) and Gleason score (df = 9; M = 6.706; F = 3.068; P = 0.002).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Patients\u2019 IP significantly improved after pharmacists\u2019 educational intervention.
