Study Notes
Patient Counseling in Pharmacy
- Patient counseling in pharmacy is the provision of information and education to patients about their medication and illness.
- It is a helping activity, involving a discussion and exchange of information between the pharmacist and the patient.
- Patient counseling intends to educate the patient on medication use, their medical condition, LDE (Lifestyle changes, exercise, and diet) and to help them understand and manage their illness.
Theoretical Roots of Patient Counseling
- Behavioral theory suggests that behaviors that are reinforced, are repeated and behaviors that are not reinforced or punished are not repeated. It aims to change mindset and help people become rational thinkers using persuasion and argument to change the individuals’ false assumptions, irrational conclusions, and misconceptions.
- Theories of health behavior attempt to analyze why patients behave the way they do when ill and when they need to take medication.
- The humanistic approach to counseling considers the patient’s thoughts and feelings in addition to their behaviors. It assumes that all people naturally grow and develop capacities, and this approach aims to assist with self-actualization.
- The eclectic counseling theory is a process of helping people manage their problems more effectively by clarifying the problem from the patient's perspective, setting goals to overcome the problem, and facilitating action to help plan, carry out, and evaluate outcomes.
- The educational theory in patient counseling proposes that a progressive change in knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors can be achieved through instruction and study. It aims to develop abilities, enrich knowledge, and impact attitude and behavior.
Models of Decision Making in Patient Counseling
- The Paternalistic Model – Health professionals identify problems and determine solutions, with the patient being passive and dependent on them.
- Informed Decision Making – Health professionals provide information so the patient can be more informed about their condition and treatment options and can participate in treatment decisions.
- Professional as Agent – This model involves the patient and the health professional discussing the options and arriving at a desired outcome together.
- Shared Decision Making – Patients and medical professionals work together through discussion and negotiation to make decisions about the patient's health care.
Helping Approaches

- The Helping Model views the patient as actively involved, and encourages them to explore problems and potential solutions. It emphasizes building a personal relationship over time and assisting patients in gaining self-confidence to manage their problems.
