Abstract
Counseling services from pharmacists provide education about how to take medication, the amount and consistency in taking medication for patients in the hope that the patient will comply with the treatment or therapy they are undergoing. One thing that influences patient compliance is the level of patient knowledge that can be obtained from counseling. The aim of this study was to determine the level of compliance of hypertensive patients at La Temmamala Regional Hospital, Soppeng Regency with the counseling provided. This research used a sample of 59 respondents. With this type of research, one group pre-test and post-test design. The pretest was carried out on respondents who were then given treatment in the form of intervention, namely counseling. The posttest is carried out when taking the next drug. The research results showed an increase in the level of compliance after providing counseling. Statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon test showed that there was a significant influence (p=0.00001) between the pretest and posttest scores. Pretest data for patients with a low level of compliance was 89.84%, moderate compliance was 10.16%. Posttest data for patients with moderate levels of compliance was 54.24% and high compliance was 45.76%.
