Pharmacist-led behavioral change intervention improves adherence and clinical outcomes among hemodialysis patients.

ABSTRACT: Improving adherence enhances therapeutic outcomes in hemodialysis patients; several approaches, including behavioral interventions, were utilized to improve adherence. Examine the effect of a pharmacist-led behavioral change technique (PL-BCT) intervention on hemodialysis patients' adherence to their complex therapeutic regimen and physical indices. Parallel-group, cluster-randomized, controlled trial, in which the patients were divided into usual care and PL-BCT groups. The intervention was developed based on the Behavior Change Technique Taxonomy (v1). Adherence was assessed using the End-Stage Renal Disease Adherence Questionnaire (ESRD-AQ). After one month of intervention, the PL-BCT significantly increased the total adherence score compared to usual care (950.0 vs. 825.0). Good adhere
