Background: <\/b>Effective medication counseling is integral to patient-centered pharmaceutical care.<\/p>\n

Objectives:<\/b> This study aimed to evaluate clients’ perception of pharmacist-provided medication counseling and contemporary roles in patient care.<\/span><\/p>\n

Methods:<\/b> Clients’ views of the content and usefulness of pharmacist-provided medication counseling and contemporary roles in patient care were evaluated using questionnaire-guided interviews of patrons of <\/span>community and hospital pharmacies in Ibadan, southwestern Nigeria. A cross-sectional survey of pharmacists <\/span>was also carried out. Data obtained were summarized with descriptive statistics. Chi-square was used for test <\/span>of proportions, Kruskal-Wallis or Mann-Whitney U test for rank variables with p<0.05 considered significant.<\/span><\/p>\n

Results:<\/b> Majority (230; 92.0%) believed that pharmacist-provided medication counseling is helpful, and 241 (96.4%) agreed that pharmacists should be actively involved in health decision-making. Patrons of hospital <\/span>pharmacy (89; 93.7%) largely reported to always receive the combination of verbal and written instructions <\/span>during prescription refill compared to 117 (80.1%) among the patrons of community pharmacies (p=0.004). <\/span>More than one-half (154;61.6%) agreed that pharmacists were not always accessible during refill. Forty <\/span>(80.0%) participating pharmacists understood counseling to comprehensively include verbal and written <\/span>instructions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/b> There is need for proactive measures among pharmacists by engaging in core activities that will directly impact on patient care.<\/span><\/p>\n

Key words<\/b>: Clients, Medication counseling, Pharmacist, Patient care<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
