Popis: Schizophrenia is a complex psychiatric disorder characterized by cognitive, emotion, perception, thinking, and behavior impairment. This research was conducted to determine the difference in level of compliance with schizophrenic patients before and after counseling by pharmacist, as well as to know their quality of life. The research method was one-group pretest-posttest with perspective design. Sampling of samples who met the inclusion criteria was done in the pharmaceutical installation of Menur Psychiatric Hospital from May to July 2018. Before data retrieval was done, all samples appropriated with the inclusion criteria were given an explanation about the purpose and description of the study, and after agreeing to be the subject, the patients or their family were obliged to fill informed consent. Interviews according to the Medication Adherence Rating Score (MARS) dan The World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL)-BREF questionnaires were done twice; the first was done upon arrival before counseling and the later was one month upon returning for control. Total of subjects was 100 people. The obtained data was analyzed using a different test (t-test). The result showed that there was a meaningful difference in patients’ compliance in taking drugs between pre and post counseling by the pharmacist (p=0.033). In terms of patients’ quality of life, results showed that the meaningful difference were only related to environmental domain (p=0.00), whereas no meaningful differences found on physical, mental and social domains (p>0.05).
