Abstract
Aim and Objective: The research aimed to evaluate the effect of patient counseling in hypertensive patients on medication adherence and quality of life (QoL). To enhance the intervention of pharmaceutical care, better knowledge of hypertension, increased adherence to antihypertensive treatment, and improved general health-related QoL can result. Materials and Methods: This was an observational study. A total of 132 patients have been enrolled; 111 patients have completed the study. Patients in the intervention group received patient counseling, patient information form (PIF). Medication adherence and QoL were assessed using the Morisky and Minichal-Brazil scales. The score was evaluated and statistically analyzed. A comparative study was conducted between pre- and post-consultation scores. There was a statistically significant difference (P < 0.001) between pre- and post-consultation. Conclusion: The research found a significant rise in drug adherence respondents following completion of pre- and post-consultation. However, the interventional activity record reduced the still important QoL at the end of the intervention team.
