Abstract:

Objective: To investigate the impact of pharmaceutical care intervention on medication compliance and efficacy in hypertension patients of Bai ethnic minority. Methods: A total of 106 essential hypertension patients of Bai ethnic minority who were treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Dali University from January to June 2020 were selected as study objects, and randomly divided into control group and intervention group. The control group received routine pharmaceutical care, and the intervention group adopted the plan-do-check-action(PDCA) cycle to carry out pharmaceutical care. The quality of life scores, blood pressure control, medication compliance and incidence of adverse reactions were compared before and after intervention in both groups. Results: After intervention, the scores of each dimension in the quality of life scale in the intervention group were significantly higher than those in the control group, and the systolic and diastolic blood pressure were significantly lower than those in the control group, with statistical significance(P<0.01); the medication compliance rate in the intervention group was significantly higher than that in the control group, and the incidence of adverse drug reactions was significantly lower than that in the control group, with statistical significance(P<0.01). Conclusion: Adopting PDCA cycle to carry out pharmaceutical care can improve medication compliance of hypertension patients of Bai ethnic minority and help them better control blood pressure.
