3 Co-TEAM: A Logic Model for Pharmacy Health Coaching among Substance Use Disorders Patients

Abstract

The use of pharmacy health coaching (PHC) on various chronic diseases has yielded promising results. However, the intervention model of pharmacy health coaching in patients with drug addiction has not been previously reported. This study aims to develop a logic model for pharmacy health coaching among patients with substance use disorders. The development of a logic model of pharmacy health coaching consisted of four steps. Firstly, this includes the use of a literature review to identify key values, scope, delivery, tools, the content of the session, and competencies for pharmacy health coaching. Secondly, focus groups discussion (FGD) was carried out to, obtain information from specific sources and discuss the discovery from the first step. Thirdly, developing a logic model based on steps 1 and 2, and finally, an FGD was conducted to discuss and fine-tune the model. A logic model successfully constructed and generated 3 Co-TEAM models for pharmacy health coaching among patients with substance use disorders. The 3 Co-TEAM consisted of communication, collaboration, consultation, training, education, attitude, and motivational interviewing. The 3 Co-TEAM model for pharmacy health coaching provided steps to implement pharmacy health coaching objectively, organized, and comprehensively. Therefore, the proposed model can function as a tool that provides guidance and reference for pharmacists in implementing the services among substance use disorders patients and collaborating with other health professionals.
