<![CDATA[ABSTRACT Puskesmas is a primary healthcare facility that carries out chronic disease management by the healthcare team such as hypertension. The role of pharmacists in team collaboration includes managerial and clinical pharmacy aspects. However, doctors and nurses are still not fully aware of the role of pharmacists, especially in clinical pharmacy. This study aims to determine the perspectives of doctors, and nurses on the collaborative management of hypertension in primary healthcare centers across Central Lombok Regency. The method used in this study was observational qualitative with a maximum variation sampling technique. Data saturation was achieved after interviewing 18 participants from April to June 2023. Participants were pharmacists, doctors, and nurses who were responsible for managing hypertension in selected primary healthcare centers. The four themes followed a conceptual framework related to team readiness to make collaboration, including cognitive, affective/relational, behavioral, and leadership aspects. In general doctors and nurses were not aware of the pharmacist’s role in clinical pharmacy, although the communication within the team is going well. Team collaboration has not run optimally because each team member performs his role individually and not as a team. To collaborate, supporting facilities and media are needed along with directions from the head of primary healthcare centers as the team leader. From the perspective of doctors and nurses, efforts are needed to prepare a team to involve pharmacists in collaborating in the management of hypertension.
