A Pharmacist-Led Hospital-Based Intervention to Support Medication Adherence Following Acute Coronary Syndrome

"The intervention will take place during hospitalisation. Patients will complete the BMQ-S and their responses will form the basis of what will be discussed in Session 1. Pharmacists will elicit patients' thoughts and opinions about their medicines and highlight the need to take them. Any erroneous treatment beliefs will be discussed and any concerns will be addressed.~After Session 1, patients will be given a planning sheet and will be asked to think about their usual daily routine and how taking medicines may fit into it. Session 2 will focus on developing specific action plans for taking medication at home. Patients will be asked to formulate an if-then plan ('If it is time X in place Y and I am doing Z, then I will take my pill dose')."
