Summary
Pharmacists and nurses can enhance medication adherence through collaborative interventions. Defining their distinct roles is crucial for effective patient care and avoiding duplicated efforts in healthcare.
Area of Science:
- Health Services Research
- Interprofessional Healthcare
- Medication Adherence
Background:
- Healthcare providers are vital for improving medication adherence.
- Pharmacists and nurses possess distinct expertise relevant to adherence.
- Interprofessional collaboration between pharmacists and nurses requires clear role definition to prevent care duplication.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify interventions enhancing medication adherence involving pharmacists and nurses.
- To delineate the specific roles of pharmacists and nurses in these interventions.
Main Methods:
- Conducted literature searches in PubMed/Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Library.
- Included studies on medication adherence interventions with pharmacist-nurse collaboration in outpatient settings for adult patients on oral treatments.
- Screened references based on predefined inclusion criteria.
Main Results:
- Twenty-one references met the inclusion criteria.
- Pharmacists and nurses are strategically positioned to identify, assess, and promote patient adherence.
- Pharmacists focused on treatment efficacy, safety, access, and medication information, while nurses provided clinical co-management and disease education.
Conclusions:
- Pharmacist-nurse interventions for medication adherence are currently infrequent and in early developmental stages.
- Further development of these collaborative interventions is needed to optimize patient outcomes.

Nursing interventions are chosen as part of the planning process to achieve patient outcomes. Once nursing diagnoses are determined, the goals and outcomes are specified, then the nursing interventions are selected and individualized according to the patient's situation.

Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:

In statistics, several tools are used to interpret the data. Measures of central tendency represent the characteristics of the data, such as mean, median, and mode. Additionally, measures of variance like standard deviation and range are used to find the spread of data from the mean. Relative standing measures the distance between data locations. Commonly used measures of relative standings are percentile, z score, and quartiles.

Data are individual items of information obtained from a population or sample. Data may be classified as qualitative (categorical), quantitative continuous, or quantitative discrete. Because it is not practical to measure the entire population in a study, researchers use samples to represent the population. A random sample is a representative group from the population chosen by using a method that gives each individual in the population an equal chance of being included in the sample. Random...
