Abstract

Background: Treatment of diabetes mellitus aims to control blood sugar stability, prevent complications, and improve the patient's quality of life. Low adherence has been shown to increase the incidence of complications, decrease quality of life, inflate and inefficient medical costs, and even increase mortality. Medication Therapy Management (MTM) is a service or program that assists pharmaceutical services in improving adherence and quality of life. The aim is to determine the effect of medication therapy management on patient compliance with diabetes mellitus at the Banyumas Regency Health Center.

Methods: This research is experimental with a randomized control trial method and a pre-test and post-test. The variable measured was compliance of diabetes mellitus type 2 patients with pill counts before the intervention (pre-test) and one month after the MTM-based service intervention (post-test). Inclusion criteria for this research are patients diagnosed with diabetes mellitus type 2 with or without comorbidities, patients who underwent routine check-ups at least one month before the study, patients taking oral antidiabetic drugs without insulin, patients willing to be respondents, and willing to sign informed consent. Exclusion criteria for this research are patients who cannot communicate well, smoking patients, pregnant patients, patients who did not complete the questionnaire, and patients who did not undergo control during the study period. The instruments of this study are the documentation book of MTM-based pharmaceutical service treatment, namely the patient documentation book "BU MENTRY" (a book brought and filled in by the patient), "KU SIAP" (a book brought by the pharmacist), and leaflets.

Results: 180 respondents are divided into 90 in the control group and 90 in the intervention group. The mean compliance score in the control group at the pre-test is 84.6908 ± 7.68219, and at the post-test, it decreased to 83.0165 ± 9.20044 (p = 0.000). Statistically, there was a significant difference in the decline in compliance scores. While in the intervention group, the mean compliance score at the pre-test was 83.9630 ± 7.78213, and at the post-test, it increased to 88.5314 ± 7.87536 after being given MTM-based services (p = 0.000). There was a significant statistical difference in the increased compliance scores. MTM-based services significantly affect adherence in patients with diabetes mellitus, with an increased score of 4.5684 ± 5.31901 and a p-value of 0.000.

Conclusion: Medication Therapy Management (MTM)-based services impact increasing compliance of diabetes mellitus patients. So, the implementation of the MTM method carried out by pharmacists is expected to reduce the incidence of complications, improve quality of life, and save medical costs.
