Aims: To prove the effect of pharmacy health coaching (PHC) on medication adherence among
drug addicts at the Sambang Lihum Mental Hospital, South Kalimantan, Indonesia.
Study Design: A quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design
Place and Duration of Study: Sambang Lihum Mental Hospital, South Kalimantan, Indonesia.
Between February to April 2020.
Methodology: The pharmacy health coaching intervention was conducted six weeks using a
quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. The study was conducted during February –
April 2020. The population referred to the drug addiction outpatients using consecutive sampling
methods that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected by filling out the
Adherence to Refills and Medication Scale (ARMS) questionnaire and filling sheets about patient
characteristics data and the drug use history of the patients. Data were then analyzed using SPSS
16.0 with the Wilcoxon mean difference test.
Results: The results showed that the pharmacy health coaching intervention could improve
medication adherence of the patients with drug addiction, where the pre-measurement adherence
was only 16.00 ± 1.086. At the same time, the post-measurement increased to 18.25 ± 4.109 (P =
1.00). Based on the study results, it can be concluded that the pharmacy health coaching
intervention improved patient adherence, but the increase was not statistically significant (P > .05).
Conclusion: The pharmacy health coaching intervention improved patient adherence, but the
increase statistically was not significant. A large number of samples was needed.
