Abstract

Hypertension is the highest case of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Pekalongan City. Uncontrolled hypertension can increase the risk of morbidity and mortality. Taking antihypertensive medication regularly can control the blood pressure of hypertensive patients so compliance with taking medication is the main factor that influences the success of therapy. This study aims to determine the medication compliance of hypertensive patients who are national health insurance participants at the Outpatient Installation of Siti Khodijah Hospital, Pekalongan City. This research is a descriptive observational study with a cross-sectional design. The sampling technique used is accidental sampling. Compliance was measured using the MMAS-8 (Morisky Medication Adherence Scale) questionnaire. Respondents were hypertensive patients in the outpatient installation of Siti Khodijah Hospital, Pekalongan City, aged ≥26 years, who were National Health Insurance participants and underwent examinations in March-April 2023. The data was analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The results revealed that of the 260 respondents consisting of 150 female patients and 110 male patients, most of the patients were ≥46 years old (91.92%), had an educational background of elementary school graduates (32.7%), high school (32.3%) and higher education (35%). A total of 67 respondents were housewives (25.77%) and 47 respondents did not work (18.07%). Meanwhile, others work in various professions such as teachers/lecturers, state civil servants, private employees and entrepreneurs. The adherence to taking medication for hypertensive patients at the Outpatient Installation of Siti Khodijah Hospital, Pekalongan City, was 82.31% compliant and 17.69% non-compliant. Patients aged ≥46 years were more compliant. Adherence to taking medication decreases as the duration of taking medication increases and the number of medications taken increases.

Abstract

Non-adherence to medication among patients with diabetes mellitus remains a major challenge in primary healthcare due to its impact on disease control and complications. This study aimed to explore the role of pharmacists in improving medication adherence through pharmaceutical counseling in two primary healthcare facilities in Semarang, Central Java. Using an exploratory qualitative approach, data were collected from nine purposively selected informants through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis. The findings revealed that pharmacists improved medication adherence through structured education, individualized counseling, therapy clarification, and motivational support. However, limited counseling time and variations in patient health literacy remained significant barriers. In conclusion, pharmaceutical counseling plays an important role in improving medication adherence and should be strengthened through healthcare system and policy support.
