Abstract
Community and hospital pharmacists are prepared to educate or involve patients in specific interventions/programs aiming at improving antibiotic adherence. Importantly, improved antibiotic adherence is associated with the reduction of the risk of antibiotic resistance. Pharmacist communication-based interventions to improve patients’ antibiotic adherence are diverse, such as interviews, education/counselling, the provision of written information or workshops, knowledge assessment, among others. Thus, a protocol of a systematic review to evaluate the impact of pharmacist communication-based interventions on patients’ adherence to antibiotics is presented. The PRISMA-P (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for systematic review protocols) was applied. The detailed project of the present systematic review is already published in Registry Services – Open Science Framework (OSF). The confirmation of a positive impact of communication-based interventions on patients’ antibiotic adherence in community or hospital pharmacies is expected.
