Abstract

Pharmacists are supposed to know current issues in
social sciences and techniques to understand diseases and illnesses, to
empathize with patients and other health professionals, to resolve possible
conflicts of interest, to establish an ideal communication, to ensure the
rational use of drugs, to reduce the wastage of drugs, and to improve
compliance with drug therapy. The purpose of this article was to explain the conceptual
framework of the Health Belief Model and Functional Health Literacy, which are
recently outstanding topics on healthcare. Further, Pharmacotherapy Literacy is
going to be defined as a remarkable subject in the literature. This is a
descriptive study illustrating the concepts with the literature.
