“…This is in line with Feifer and colleagues (2010), who showed that patients who have recently started medication appear to have a higher need for information and counseling about their medication [ 25 ]. This need was, for example, also seen in patients starting with inhalation treatment [ 26 ], and in patients starting with oral blood-glucose-lowering medication [ 9 ]. This could also explain why especially at first refill, problems were more often identified than at follow-up refill.…”

The pharmacy counter is a good place to identify and discuss medication-related problems. However, there is a lack of practical communication tools to support pharmacy technicians (PTs) in initiating a conversation with patients. This study aimed to develop and test a practical set of questions for PTs, called TRIAGE, to identify problems during encounters. TRIAGE was developed based on insight from the literature, focus groups with PTs and pharmacists, and input from patients and experts. In 10 community pharmacies, 17 PTs used TRIAGE during encounters with patients who collected their cardiovascular medication. For each encounter, PTs registered the identified problems and suggested solutions. A total of 105 TRIAGE conversations were held, 66 for first refill and 39 for follow-up refill prescriptions. In 15 (23%) first refill prescription encounters, a problem was identified. These problems concerned forgetting to take the medication, a complex medication regime or (fear of) side effects. In three (8%) follow-up refill prescription encounters, a problem was identified. Most of the problems were solved on the spot. Pharmacy technicians indicated that they identified medication-related problems with TRIAGE that otherwise would be left unnoticed. They appreciated TRIAGE as a useful instrument for starting the conversation with patients about medication use.

Objective To investigate the effect of psychological contract of outpatients with hospital pharmacists on medication adherence, providing reference for improving the management of patients’ medication adherence from the perspective of pharmacist-patient relationship and psychological contract. Methods The 8 patients who received medication dispensing service at the outpatient pharmacies at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University were selected for face-to-face in-depth interviews through a purposive sampling method. In order to get more potential information and adjust flexibly according to the actual situation of the interview, the interviews were set as semi-structured, and the interview content was analyzed by using Colaizzi’s seven-step method of phenomenological analysis and NVivo11.0 software. Results The following four themes about effects of patients’ psychological contract with hospital pharmacists on medication adherence were extracted: from the perspective of patients, the relationship between pharmacists and patients is generally harmonious; pharmacists can basically fulfil their responsibilities; patients’ medication adherence needs to be improved; the status of patients’ psychological contract with hospital pharmacists may affect medication adherence. Conclusion The psychological contract of outpatients with hospital pharmacists has a positive effect on their medication adherence. Effective management on medication adherence should involve the management on patients’ psychological contract with hospital pharmacists.
