Journal Title: Indonesian Journal of Clinical Pharmacy - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Training-Education-Monitoring-Adherence-Networking (TEMAN) Pharmacist model provides opportunities for trained pharmacist to intervene through education of tuberculosis (TB) patient, therapy monitoring, assessment of patient’s adherence, and collaboration with other health professionals. The study aimed to determine the impact of TEMAN Pharmacist model intervention against the role of pharmacist and TB patient outcomes. The study design was a quasi-experimental study with one group pretest-posttest consisted of two phases: training and pharmacist intervention. After training, pharmacists intervene during regular visits TB patients in primary health care and Special Hospital Lung Respira in Yogyakarta. The research subjects were TB officer (pharmacist and TB programmers) and patients with newly TB diagnostic who met the inclusion criteria, i.e. patients aged 15 years or older, receiving antituberculosis therapy, and willing to fill out given questionnaires and signing a letter of approval for the study (informed consent). Meanwhile, the exclusion criteria were patients with multidrug resistance (MDR) TB; have hepatic disease, psychiatry (mental), and cognitive dysfunction. The instrument developed was a questionnaire to measure the level of knowledge of TB officers and questionnaires to measure the level of knowledge and adherence of TB patients. The data were analyzed descriptively and by using Wilcoxon test. The training effectively improved the knowledge of participants significantly (p=0,000) on average 11.3±3.00 (intermediate category) to 16.3±2.31 (high category). A total of 40 (81.6%) TB patients increased their knowledge significantly (p=0,000) and 5 (10.2%) increased their adherence significantly (p=0,034) after the pharmacist’s intervention. Additionally, out of 49 patients, 29 (59.2%) patients increased body weight, 100% sputum smear conversion, 33 (67.3%) incidence of ADR, and 8 (16.3%) potential drug interactions were documented by the pharmacist monitoring. Intervention of TEMAN Pharmacist model improves the role of the pharmacist and the outcome of TB patients.
