Abstract

Two-thirds of hypertensive patients are spread in developing countries. In Indonesia, hypertension, nowadays, ranks second nationally and becomes a priority in non-communicable disease control. Pharmacist-patient communication is presumably related to therapy adherence of hypertensive patients. However, no research focuses on presenting this data. this article is aimed to present the readers with the correlation between the level of adherence to therapy of hypertensive patients and the communication behaviour of pharmaceutical personnel. We took the observations by recording the communication between pharmacists and hypertensive patients. We placed the research in two different Community Health Centers (Puskesmas), namely Puskesmas Muntilan 2 and Puskesmas Tempuran (Magelang Regency-Indonesia). The cross-sectional study in March 2020 collected data. The records were analysed using the Roter Interaction Analysis System (RIAS) instrument. Simultaneously, the medication adherence item was measured by the Medication Adherence Report Scale (MARS-5) instrument. The results showed that the pharmaceutical personnel providing drug information services to hypertensive patients have carried out two communication functions; task-focused (199 utterances) and socio-emotional (130 utterances). The hypertensive patients in this research had a relatively high mean adherence score of 24.1. The findings of the research demonstrated that task-focused communication was not related to overall items of therapy adherence. On the other hand, socio-emotional communication is closely related to the frequency of stop drug consumption for a while (0.265). The researchers underlined that the high frequency of socio-emotional communication was closely related to patient adherence to not stop drug consumption as being prescribed.
