This study was an experimental study using a quasi-experimental with one group pretest and posttest design which was conducted in Tegalrejo, Jetis and Gedontengen Health Center Yogyakarta City. Variables measured were medication adherence using the Morisky-Green Levine Medication Adherence Scale (MGLS) questionnaire and quality of life using Diabetes Quality of Life Clinical Trial Questionnaire (DQLCTQ) before and after MTM services. The effect of MTM on medication adherence was analyzed using Wilcoxon test and the effect of MTM on quality of life using Paired T-Test. The patients participate in this study were 20 people, with average score of adherences before application of MTM was 2.20±0.410 to 1.80±0.616 after the application of MTM (P=0.005) and the average of the patient's quality of life was 73.82±7.918, increased to 76.42±5,623 after MTM service (P=0.033). Statistically mean, there is a difference in adherence and quality of life before and after MTM services. Therefore, it can be concluded that MTM-based services performed by pharmacists have a significant effect on improving medication adherence and quality of life for DM patients.

Medication therapy management (MTM), is a service model aimed at helping general health problems by preventing morbidity and mortality. Hypertension is a non-communicable disease which is a serious health problem which requires long-term therapy.  This study aims to see the effect of MTM on clinical Outcomes and quality of life of patients in hypertensive patients. This type of research is a quasi experimental one group with a pretest-posttest design. Analysis using paired sample t-test and Wilcoxon test with a significance used P <0,05. Respondents were 70 people, 67,1% were women. The characteristics of the majority age are 55-64 years with a percentage of 51,4%, the majority of education level is high school with 42,8%, non-civil servant jobs with a percentage of 45,7%, the length of diagnosis is dominated by 1-10 years (77,1%) and comorbidities diabetes mellitus occurred the most (10,0%). The results showed that the quality of life increased from before getting MTM 54,4 ± 8,9 and after MTM intervention 60,4 ± 6,6 (P value <0,001). Clinical outcome from systolic 159,2 ± 8,9 mmHg and diastolic 103,8 ± 8,0 mmHg before MTM to 144,1 ± 14,4 mmHg for systolic and 89,7 ± 8,8 mmHg for diastolic with p value <0,001 (p <0,05) for systolic blood pressure and p value: 0,016 (p <0,05) after receiving MTM intervention. Medication Therapy Management (MTM) has a significant influence on improving the quality of life and clinical Outcomes of hypertensive patients. The higher the quality of life of patients, blood pressure becomes more controlled.

Paracetamol was found as a commonhousehold drug. Sixty-nine percent of patients were procuring medication directly from the pharmacy and the remaining 31% were procuring theirmedication after consulting the physician.

Diabetes complications, medication adherence, and psychosocial well-being have been associated with quality of life (QOL) among several Western and Asian populations with diabetes, however, there is little evidence substantiating these relationships among Malaysia’s unique and diverse population. Therefore, a cross-sectional study was conducted in a Malaysian public primary care clinic among 150 patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Structured and validated questionnaires were used to investigate the associations between demographic, clinical, and psychological factors with QOL of the study participants. Approximately three-quarters of patients had a good-excellent QOL. Diabetes-related variables that were significantly associated with poor QOL scores included insulin containing treatment regimens, poor glycemic control, inactive lifestyle, retinopathy, neuropathy, abnormal psychosocial well-being, higher diabetes complication severity, and nonadherence (p < 0.05). The main predictors of a good-excellent QOL were HbA1c ≤ 6.5% (aOR = 20.78, 95% CI = 2.5175.9, p = 0.005), normal anxiety levels (aOR = 5.73, 95% CI = 1.8–18.5, p = 0.004), medication adherence (aOR = 3.35, 95% CI = 1.3–8.7, p = 0.012), and an aDCSI score of one and two as compared to those greater than or equal to four (aOR = 7.78, 95% CI = 1.5–39.2, p = 0.013 and aOR = 8.23, 95% CI = 2.1–32.8, p = 0.003), respectively. Medication adherence has also been found to be an effect modifier of relationships between HbA1c, depression, anxiety, disease severity, and QOL. These predictors of QOL are important factors to consider when managing patients with T2DM.
