Abstract

The lack of adherence to treatment is considered in general, to be higher than 50%. Given the magnitude of the problem, it is sought to detect it and solve it through various methods — of which, there are few studies and publications regarding the “climate of trust.” In these, the patient expresses the genuine truth of the lack of adherence, and even of intentional noncompliance. That is to say, they express their pharmacotherapeutic experience; which will allow the healthcare professional, not only to agree on the appropriate treatment for the patient, but to rebuild it. Two of the first cases are exposed when establishing the “climate of trust,” in the social-pharmaceutical context, in a pharmacy office; because of the unexpected and shocking with what was expected by the pharmacist.
