Background: Collaboration between doctors and pharmacists is needed in treating Diabetes Mellitus (DM) patients to optimise treatment regimens. Collaboration between healthcare professionals illustrates teamwork in solving the problem of DM patients.
Methods: This study is observational with a cross-sectional design. Respondents were all Internal Medicine doctors and pharmacists of the Universitas Airlangga Hospital. The observed variables were individual, context, and exchange characteristics that affect collaborative practice in dealing with DM patients from the pharmacist's perspective.
Results: The results showed that the communication pharmacists-doctors rarely occurred. The pharmacist-doctor collaborative practice was quite effective, according to the pharmacist's perspective. The multiple linear regression test of the exchange characteristics and practice collaboration showed that the trust domain was significant.
Conclusion: The communication between pharmacists and doctors is rare. The collaborative practice is in sufficient category. Trust significantly affects this practice.
