Community Pharmacist Knowledge, Attitude And Perceptions Towards Medication Counselling Services Related To Medication Therapy Management

Abstract

A tried-and-true strategy for lowering pharmaceutical mistakes is the application of medication therapy management (MTM). In MTM services, pharmacists play a significant role especially in community health centers (CHCs), as service suppliers. Thus, a key component of the plan for implementing the MTM program in Indonesia is comprehending the knowledge,[1] attitudes, and practices (KAP) of MTM among pharmacists working in CHCs. This study sought to determine the pharmacists' opinions of the obstacles and enablers to future MTM provision as well as the degree of KAP regarding MTM among them and related factors. The pharmacists employed at CHCs were the study's target population. The aim of the study is to evaluate the degree of KAP for MTM among pharmacists employed by CHCs and the factors that are related to it. It also aims to explore the pharmacists' perspectives regarding the obstacles and enablers of MTM supply in the future.
