Vol. 6 No. 3 (2020): Sarawak Journal of Pharmacy

This issue presents a comprehensive collection of clinical and behavioral research focused on enhancing healthcare outcomes within the Malaysian context, particularly in the Sarawak region. This issue explores critical public health initiatives, such as the validation of breast self-examination tools and the assessment of parental competence in pediatric medication administration, while also addressing systemic clinical improvements like pharmacist-led antibiotic stewardship in surgical settings. Furthermore, the publication delves into the professional well-being of healthcare providers by examining the intersection of mental health and physical metrics among pharmacy staff, alongside patient-centric studies on adherence beliefs in chronic disease management. Collectively, these articles underscore a commitment to evidence-based practice and the optimization of both provider performance and patient safety in local hospitals such as Miri and Sibu.
