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.

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder that is characterized by hyperglycemia. Diabetes mellitus need appropriate therapeutic management, because it can cause complications. On of the services that can do to improve diabetes control is Medication Therapy Management (MTM). MTM is a new service that will help pharmacist to improve patient adherence and quality of life. This study aims to determine the effect of based services MTM on treatment adherence and quality of life in patients with diabetes mellitus. 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. Moreover, it can facilitate monitoring patient therapy, and identification of problems related to the treatment.

Purpose This pilot sought to determine feasibility of studying the impact on hypertension in over-the-road truck drivers who met with pharmacists for Medication Therapy Management (MTM) compared to those who did not. Design/methodology/approach Drivers were randomly assigned to control or treatment (MTM) group for 52 weeks. Drivers assigned to the MTM arm could receive services in person or via secure videoconferencing technology located in a private space at the trucking company. All subjects were provided education and received a blood pressure monitor and log for recording daily blood pressures. Findings Eleven drivers enrolled and seven drivers completed the study. The primary barriers to participation included unpredictable driver schedules and lack of access to MTM provider while on the road. Research limitations/implications This pilot study was limited by small sample size. Pharmacists were not available to meet with truckers "on demand." Therefore, researchers are encouraged to test alternate opportunities to increase enrollment of drivers in studies and access to MTM services while drivers are on the road. Practical implications Hypertension is the second highest health-related cost burden, and over-the-road truck drivers have unique challenges that can make it difficult to attain blood pressure control. Pharmacist-provided MTM has been shown to improve blood pressure control. Improving access to MTM, perhaps using a national network of pharmacists or technology from the road, may decrease morbidity and mortality in drivers. Originality/value This paper fulfills an identified need to study how to improve driver access to care to reduce cardiovascular-related morbidity and mortality.   Type: Clinical Experience

Objective To investigate the effects of Shaolin Ba Duan Jin on patients with hypertension. Methods In the hypertensive patients detected in the national physical fitness test of public officials in Guiyang City, 40 patients with hypertension were selected. The experiment was started after Shaolin Ba Duan Jin has been practiced for seven days and the subjects had learned it. Experimental method: Frequency of subjects practicing Ba Duan Jin is 7 days a week, subjects practice once a day, practicing time is 6:00-7:30 am or 18:00 -19:30 pm, practicing lasts 1.5 hours each time (practicing has 3 groups, 14 minutes in each group;subjects rest 2 minutes between groups,;preparing part is 8 minutes;ending part is 5 minutes), record the blood pressure of the subjects before and after each experiment, and fill in the quality of life scale (WHOQOL-BREF scale) regularly for a period of 12 weeks. Questionnaire method: Fill in the quality of life scale every three weeks and measure heart rate and blood pressure before and after each exercise. Mathematical statistics: The paired sample t test was used to analyze the changes in blood pressure before and after the 12-week experiment. Results 1) The systolic and diastolic blood pressures of the subjects were significantly lower than before the experiment (P <0.01). 2) The WHOQOL-BREF scale after 12 weeks has improved significantly in all areas than before the experiment. Conclusions 1) Martial arts Ba Duan Jin has a good influence on the circulatory system of hypertensive patients. The performance is that the heart rate is slow and the systolic and diastolic blood pressures have a downward trend. 2) Martial arts Ba Duan Jin has significant improvement in the physiology, psychology, social relations, environment and other fields .

Objective: Essential hypertension is the most frequent kind of hypertension and also known as primary hypertension or idiopathic, affecting 95% of hypertensive patients. This study was conducted to see the effect of Yogic practices as Nadi Shodhana Pranayama (NSP = cleaning of subtle energy channel along with regulation of rhythm of breathing) and Dhyana (meditation) on the symptoms of Raktagata Vata (essential hypertension), blood pressure, and Hamilton’s anxiety rating scale.Methods: This clinical study was conducted on 50 cases of Raktagata Vata, and these were randomly divided into two subgroups: (1) Control and (2) intervention consisting of 25 cases in each subgroup. Yogic practices were done regularly for 3 months by the registered cases in both subgroups. Light medication of first order initially was also prescribed to intervention subgroup.Result: In both subgroups, significant results (p<0.001) were observed and most of the symptoms of Raktagata Vata improved better in the intervention than control subgroup. Significant results (p<0.001) were also observed in blood pressure along with Hamilton’s anxiety scale scoring.Conclusion: Yogic practices impact positive effects on Agya Chakra (hypothalamus-cerebral system), control autonomic nervous system and improve the quality of life of Raktagata Vata patients by improving symptoms and regulating the blood pressure.
