Engagement in medication communication was assessed using the Patient and Family Engagement Framework. The COREQ checklist guided reporting of the study.  \nResults: The study identified two main themes: (1) Medication communication during transitions into healthcare services; (2) Influences shaping residents' and caregivers' engagement in medication communication. Participants primarily experienced passive consultation about medications, mainly due to a lack of proactive engagement from healthcare providers, with both intrinsic and external factors significantly hindering their involvement in medication communication.  \nConclusion: Participants had minimal engagement in medication communication during transitions, receiving mainly reactive, one-way information from providers. Improved communication strategies and greater involvement of residents and caregivers are needed to enhance medication safety and continuity of care in rural settings.  \nRelevance to Clinical Practice: This study provides insights into medication communication engagement among rural aged care residents and their family caregivers. By applying the Patient and Family Engagement Framework, the findings highlight the need for proactive, clear and inclusive communication strategies to enhance medication safety and continuity of care. Improving engagement in medication discussions can support shared decision-making, reduce misunderstandings and improve transitions of care in rural aged care settings.  \nReporting Method: The study followed COREQ guidelines.  \nPatient or Public Contribution: Residents and family caregivers participated through interviews.  \n1 | Introduction  \nAustralia's aging population presents challenges as more individuals remain at home longer, leading to residential aged care homes (RACHs) caring for older residents with complex  \nmedical needs (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare 2025; Elliott and Booth 2014) . These residents, often with multiple health conditions, are frequently prescribed numerous medications, increasing the risk of medication errors (Page et al. 2023; Wabe et al. 2024) and adverse drug events (Ye et al. 2022),  \nThis is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.  \n© 2025 The Author(s).
