Pengaruh Konseling Farmasi terhadap Kepatuhan Pengobatan pada Pasien Diabetes Melitus

This study evaluates the impact of pharmaceutical counseling on medication adherence in patients with diabetes mellitus. Diabetes is a chronic disease requiring long-term management, and medication adherence plays a crucial role in managing the condition. The study aims to assess whether pharmaceutical counseling, which includes guidance on proper medication use, side effects, and lifestyle modifications, can improve adherence to treatment in diabetic patients. The research utilizes a quasi-experimental design, where 100 diabetic patients are divided into a control group and an experimental group receiving pharmaceutical counseling. The results show that patients who received pharmaceutical counseling demonstrated a significant increase in their adherence to prescribed medications compared to the control group. The findings indicate that pharmaceutical counseling is an effective strategy for improving medication adherence and can contribute to better management of diabetes.
