Abstrakt: For example, pharmacists failing to fully fulfil the responsibilities expected by their patients and/or to effectively communicate with their patients may lead to patients not trusting their pharmacists and thus disobeying the pharmacists' medication instructions.[15] Hospital pharmacists play an important role in improving patients' medication adherence in terms of drug supply, medication consultation and clinical pharmacy.[1],[16],[17] Patients' medication adherence is inevitably related to pharmacists' performance, and may also be dominated by their own social and psychological factors. For example, patients with poor medication adherence (such as D, F, G) believed that the extent of the patients' perceived expectations to hospital pharmacists being fulfilled by hospital pharmacists (that is, expressed in professional terms, maintaining status of patients' psychological contract with the pharmacists) is positively related to medication adherence. However, this is far from conclusive, and the effect of patients' psychological contract with hospital pharmacists on medication adherence need to be confirmed through additional qualitative analyze information from in-depth interviews with patients as medication adherence is a phenomenon with strong subjectivity and easily affected by subjective psychological factors. Inclusion criteria: (1)Patients who have received medication dispensing services in the outpatient pharmacy; (2)Patients have the necessary abilities to listen, speak, read and write Chinese; (3)Age >=18 years old; (4) The patient voluntarily participate and provide informed consent.[20] Draft Investigation Process The research was conducted by means of qualitative interview.
