Home Care Improves Knowledge, Attitude, Practice and Blood Pressure Control in Hypertensive Patients: Exploring Role of Community Pharmacists



Hypertension remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of community pharmacists-provided home care on knowledge, attude, practce (KAP) and blood pressure (BP) control of hypertensive patents. A quasi-experimental study was conducted in two pharmacies in Banten involving hypertensive patents regularly reflling prescriptons. Patents in Pharmacy A were assigned in the interventon group (IG), whilst those in Pharmacy B in the control group (CG). IG received home care in additon to standard care. Questonnaires to assess KAP were distributed at the initaton and end of the study. BP was measured monthly. A total of 110 patents (60 in IG vs 50 in CG) were enrolled. At baseline there was no signifcant difference in demographic and clinical characteristcs. Post-interventon, proporton of patents with ‘good’ knowledge was considerably higher in IG (100%) vs 2.0% in CG, IG demonstrated ‘very ideal’ attude compared to ‘less ideal’ in CG, IG performed ‘good’ practce as opposed to ‘fair’ practce in CG. The decrease of systolic BP in IG was signifcantly greater (14.8 mmHg) vs 1.8 mmHg in CG. In conclusion, expanded role of community pharmacists in providing home care improves KAP and BP control in hypertensive patents.
