Impact of home medication management review on medication adherence among Jordanian patients

Objectives This study was designed to evaluate the impact of Home Medication Management Review (HMMR) on self‐reported adherence, and to explore the effect of different patient factors on their medication adherence. Method Consecutive patients from outpatient clinics who were eligible for the study were recruited and randomly distributed into two groups. Patients in both groups were visited at home by the clinical pharmacist at baseline. For the intervention group only, the pharmacist delivered counselling regarding self‐reported adherence. After identifying treatment‐related problems (TRPs), the pharmacist sent a letter to the patients’ physician with certain recommendations (intervention group only). Both groups were reassessed for adherence after 3 months from baseline to measure the difference between the two groups. Key findings A total of 97 participants were included. Mean ages for the intervention and control groups were 63.13 and 58.39 respectively. The majority of patients were women. The study revealed significant association with the number of TRPs, and level of adherence in the intervention group at follow‐up (R2 = 0.348, P
