    Area of Science:

    • Rehabilitation Medicine
    • Clinical Pharmacy
    • Patient Education

    Background:

    • Effective medication management is crucial for successful rehabilitation.
    • Multidisciplinary approaches enhance patient outcomes.
    • Self-medication programs (SMPs) can empower patients in their recovery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and implement a structured self-medication program (SMP) within a multidisciplinary rehabilitation setting.
    • To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the SMP in improving patient skills and motivation.
    • To assess the impact of the SMP on post-discharge medication adherence.

    Main Methods:

    • A four-stage SMP was developed, involving patient assessment, bedside self-medication (SM), nursing station SM, and discharge assessment.

  • The program was coordinated by a pharmacist as part of a multidisciplinary rehabilitation team.
  • Twenty-four patients participated, with completion rates and benefits systematically recorded.

    • Main Results:

    • 52% of introduced patients successfully completed all four stages of the SMP.
    • Severe physical impairment did not typically prevent program completion.
    • All participating patients demonstrated improved SM skills and increased motivation for recovery.

    Conclusions:

    • The pharmacist-coordinated SMP is a feasible and beneficial component of multidisciplinary rehabilitation.
    • The program effectively enhances patient self-medication skills and motivation, supporting post-discharge adherence.
    • SMPs can provide assurance to rehabilitation teams regarding patients' ability to manage medications independently.
