Intervenções farmacêuticas na adesão ao tratamento farmacológico em usuários do centro de atenção psicossocial para álcool e outras drogas

Abstract

Introduction: Non-adherence to the pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment offered at the Centers for Psychosocial Care for Alcohol and Other Drugs (CAPSad) can directly affect the rehabilitation of the user. Therefore, it is suggested that Pharmaceutical Interventions (PI) can promote the treatment adherence improvement, as well as a better collaboration relationship in harm reduction by user. Objective: To evaluate the PI effect on pharmacological treatment adherence by CAPSad users, located in Lagarto city, Sergipe State, using MMAS-8. Methodology: The assessment of medication adherence by CAPSad users occurred in two moments, just before and after two weeks of the PI. Results: The increase in pharmacological adherence by CAPSad users after PI was observed from 10% to 23.3% of those with high adherence, from 13.3% to 26.7% with mean adherence and a reduction of 76% to 50% of users with low adherence. Conclusion: With only one PI, the number of CAPSad users who showed improvement of medication adherence showed a significant increase (p = 0.008). It can also be verified that there is a pharmacists shortage who work in the psychosocial field, being necessary the inclusion of this professional in the Family Health Program.
