Abstract

Preceptorship is widely implemented in pharmacist professional education to facilitate experiential learning and competency development during the Pharmacist Professional Practice Program (PKPA). However, evaluations of its implementation across different practice settings remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate the implementation of the preceptorship method among students of the Pharmacist Professional Study Program (PSPPA), Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Universitas Mataram, during PKPA in community pharmacies, hospitals, public health centers, and pharmaceutical wholesalers. This study employed a mixed-methods design using a sequential explanatory approach. Quantitative data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered to PSPPA students to assess perceptions of preceptorship implementation across six domains. Qualitative data were obtained through in-depth interviews with 11 preceptors and analyzed using thematic analysis to further explain the quantitative findings. The quantitative results showed that all assessment domains were categorized as “very good,” with scores ranging from 82.5% to 88.3%. The highest score was observed in the student skill development domain (88.3%), followed by preceptor involvement (86.6%) and knowledge assessment through evaluation and feedback (85.0%). Qualitative findings revealed that preceptorship was implemented through three main stages: orientation, implementation, and evaluation. Orientation facilitated students’ adaptation to practice environments, while the implementation stage involved direct supervision, reflective discussions, assignments, and progressive responsibility. Evaluation was conducted continuously through observation, feedback, portfolios, and collaborative monitoring between preceptors and academic supervisors. Challenges identified included limited preceptor availability, variations in student readiness, and the relatively short duration of PKPA placements. In conclusion, the preceptorship method was implemented effectively across PKPA settings and contributed positively to students’ competency development. Strengthening student preparation, institutional support, and collaboration between academic institutions and practice sites may further optimize preceptorship implementation.

Abstract

Hypertension is a chronic disease with a high global prevalence and often requires combination therapy, which increases the risk of Drug-Related Problems (DRPs). This review aims to identify the types of DRPs, the most frequently implicated medications, causative factors, and pharmaceutical interventions based on various studies conducted in hypertensive patients. The literature review results indicate that common DRPs include drug interactions, ineffective therapy, the need for additional therapy, adverse drug reactions (ADRs), and inappropriate medication selection. Amlodipine, candesartan, valsartan, beta-blockers, and diuretics are among the medications most frequently associated with DRPs. Polypharmacy, non-adherence, comorbidities, and inadequate monitoring are the main contributing factors. Pharmaceutical interventions such as medication review, therapy monitoring, patient counseling, and adherence to clinical guidelines have been shown to be effective in reducing DRPs. The role of pharmacists is crucial to ensure the safety and effectiveness of hypertension therapy.

Abstract

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide and is closely associated with dyslipidemia, particularly elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels. Statins are recommended as first-line therapy to reduce LDL levels and lower the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with CHD. This literature review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of statin therapy in patients with coronary heart disease. A literature search was conducted using Google Scholar between May 14 and May 29, 2025, with the keywords "statin drugs," "statin effectiveness," "coronary heart disease," and "LDL reduction." Articles were selected based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria, resulting in ten eligible studies. The review showed that atorvastatin was the most frequently prescribed statin and consistently demonstrated effectiveness in reducing LDL levels by approximately 30–50%, increasing HDL levels, and lowering cardiovascular risk. Simvastatin was also effective in managing dyslipidemia, although several studies reported lower effectiveness compared with atorvastatin. Furthermore, a combination of rosuvastatin 10 mg and ezetimibe 10 mg was reported to be more effective in achieving LDL-C targets than high-intensity statin monotherapy in patients at very high cardiovascular risk. Overall, statins are effective for the management of coronary heart disease, with atorvastatin showing the most consistent therapeutic benefits.
