Home pharmacy care program in community pharmacy to improve outcome of hypertension: A quasi-experimental study 10.55131/jphd/2026/240205
Main Article Content
Abstract
Home Pharmacy Care (HPC) is a program implemented by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia to deliver the highest quality healthcare services to individuals dealing with degenerative conditions, such as hypertension. This study sought to assess the efficacy of HPC interventions in hypertensive patients in Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia. From March to June 2024, this investigation implemented a quasi-experimental pre- and post-design with control in a community pharmacy. A randomized sampling technique was employed to select 100 patients with uncontrolled hypertension, who were distributed into two groups. The intervention group was provided with HPC, which consisted of a medication reminder card, education on hypertension, home blood pressure monitors, and hypertension control. Patients in the control group received standard care. ³It was found that the decrease in SBP in intervention group D±SD 13.06 ± 6.14 was better than control group D±SD 3.32 ± 5.35, while DBP intervention group D±SD 7.64 ± 4.25 was better than control group D±SD 5.06 ± 4.69. The effect of HPC on blood pressure showed a significant difference (P=0.00), and 56% of the patients in the HPC group had controlled BP. Our study demonstrated that the implementation of HPC in community pharmacies for hypertensive patients can significantly aid them in managing their blood pressure, thereby reducing the cardiovascular risks associated with hypertension. Additionally, the potential to improve patient satisfaction with pharmacist-provided care exists through the effective implementation of HPC.
