Abstract

Adhering to medication in chronic diseases like hypertension and diabetes mellitus can prevent complications and reduce hospitalizations. Primary Health Center (PHC), leads in managing patients with chronic diseases who are expected to comply with medication. This study aims to analyze the medication adherence level among patients with chronic diseases and its influencing factors. The research employed a cross-sectional design with a purposive sampling technique at a PHC in Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta. Data on the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients were collected from medical records. Meanwhile, the assessment of medication adherence used pill-count method and MMAS-8. Patients were categorized as adhering to the medication if the MMAS-8 score was 8 and ≥80% for the pill-count method. A total of 210 patients with the therapeutic dosage drug regimen for controlling chronic disease were included. The adherence rate among patients measured with MMAS-8 was primarily classified as low (72.86%). However, the pill-count method showed a compliance rate of over 90%. Based on MMAS-8, disease duration (0.022), caretaker (0.000), comorbidities (0.015), and number of medications (0.049) affected the adherence level in the elderly. However, only a gender was found in adults (0.032). Over half of chronically ill patients in PHC were found to have low adherence rates when assessed using MMAS-8. The contradictory medication adherence levels between the two tools require further studies to confirm the best approach in measuring adherence in the community setting. An effective, interactive, and collaborative approach by healthcare providers is needed to improve medication adherence.

Abstract

ABSTRAK Penelitian terkait efektivitas klozapin pada populasi Asia, baik sebagai monoterapi atau kombinasi, masih sangat terbatas. Selain itu, potensi interaksi antar-obat sering dijumpai pada pasien skizofrenia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis respon terapeutik klozapin dan faktor-faktor yang memengaruhinya, serta interaksi obat-obat yang bersifat potensial. Penelitian cross-sectional retrospektif ini menggunakan data sekunder dari rekam medik pasien di rumah sakit jiwa rujukan di Jawa Tengah, Indonesia. Analisis data menggunakan uji Chi-square atau Fisher’s exact dengan SPSS versi 23. Studi melibatkan 149 pasien skizofrenia dengan mayoritas laki-laki dan terdiagnosis undifferentiated schizophrenia. Sebanyak 89,93% pasien mengalami perbaikan gejala klinis, sesuai yang dinyatakan dokter pada rekam medik, baik pada penggunaan klozapin tunggal maupun kombinasi terutama dengan risperidon. Respon terapeutik klozapin dipengaruhi secara signifikan hanya oleh usia (p<0,05). Sementara itu, interaksi obat potensial dengan klozapin berkategori mayor ditemukan pada 8,1% pasien. Penggunaan bersama risperidon diidentifikasi sebagai interaksi obat mayor terbanyak (79,25%) yang berisiko menimbulkan permasalahan kardiovaskular atau pernapasan. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan studi prospektif dengan penilaian efektivitas klozapin menggunakan PANSS-ES maupun dampak klinis interaksi obatnya. Kata Kunci: Klozapin, Skzofrenia, Efektivitas, Faktor Yang Memengaruhi, Interaksi Obat-Obat  Studies on clozapine effectiveness among Asian populations, either as monotherapy or in combination, are quite limited. In addition, potential drug-drug interactions (DDI) are common in schizophrenic patients. This study aimed to analyze the therapeutic response to clozapine, its influencing factors, and the potential DDI.  A cross-sectional study design retrospectively collected secondary data from medication records at the referral psychiatric hospitals in Central Java, Indonesia. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test in SPSS version 23.   This study included 149 patients, predominantly male, who were diagnosed with undifferentiated schizophrenia. As many as 89.93% of patients experienced symptom improvement, as stated by the physician in the medical record, either as monotherapy or in combination, especially with risperidone. The therapeutic response to clozapine was significantly influenced only by age (p<0.05). Meanwhile, potential major drug interactions were found in 8.1% of patients. The combined use of clozapine with risperidone has been identified as having the most significant risk for drug interactions (79.25%), which can lead to cardiovascular or respiratory problems. This study recommends conducting prospective studies on the effectiveness of clozapine using the PANSS-ES scale and examine the clinical impact of the drug interactions.
