ABSTRACT

To study the influence of individualized medication guidance based on an Short Messaging Service( SMS) platform on the medication compliance in the patients with diabetes. Methods: Totally 100 cases of diabetic patients from the outpa-tient section were randomly divided into two groups using a number method with 50 ones in each, namely odd number was in the obser-vation group and even number was in the control group. The observation group was given pharmaceutical guidance based on the SMS technology platform by pharmacists, and the control group was given telephone follow-up once a week to understand the medical situa-tion. At the beginning of the study and after three-month treatment, the medication compliance in the two groups was evaluated, and the control situation of blood glucose was also compared. Results:There was no significant difference in the medication compliance be-tween the two groups at the beginning (P>0. 05). After the 3-month treatment, the blood glucose and medication compliance between the two group had statistical significance (P<0. 01). Conclusion:Based on a mobile phone short message technology platform, indi-vidualized clinical pharmaceutical guidance can significantly improve the medication compliance in diabetic patients.
