Abstract:

Patients' use of medicines is widely recognised as sub-optimal with a high proportion of patients with a long-term condition not taking their medicines as prescribed. Research and policy guidance emphasise the importance of partnership within the patient-prescriber encounter in enhancing patients' use of medicines. There is however considerable evidence that this is not usually achieved by medical prescribers, limiting the extent to which shared decision-making occurs about prescribed medicines. There is a general assumption that nurse prescribers, who within the United Kingdom have comparable

Thesis (MSc(Med)(Pharmacy) ) -- University of Limpopo, 2013.<br>Introduction: Primary Health Care (PHC) is regarded as the first level of contact with the National Health System with health care services provided mainly by nurses with varying competences. PHC is about interaction with people thus the quality of PHC depends extensively on the competence of the people who provide it. Therefore, the way health care personnel are trained and how capacity continues to be developed is of fundamental importance to PHC.

Abstract:

The cost of healthcare in the United States has increased due to growing numbers of patients who live with chronic health problems, such as heart disease. The cost of healthcare is compounded by the cost in terms of complications of cardiovascular disease secondary to medication non-adherence. Education about medication use and adherence, safety, and side effects was needed for patients in a cardiovascular unit to improve adherence to medications as prescribed. Results of a health care provider (HCP) and nursing staff needs assessment provided by the site showed the need for improved cardiovas

Abstract:

Introduction: Medication adherence is vital to ensuring optimal patient outcomes, particularly amongst older adults prescribed polypharmacy. However, complex interventions aimed at improving adherence have shown only limited effectiveness. To maximise effectiveness, the Medical Research Council (MRC) supports the use of both evidence and theory in developing interventions. Feasibility and pilot testing is then recommended to optimise interventions in advance of definitive trials. The aim of this research was to develop a novel complex intervention (using evidence and theory) to improve adheren

Abstract:

Background: Adherence to prescribed home exercise for chronic low back pain (CLBP) is poor and this remains an under-researched area. There is no standard measure of exercise adherence and traditional health behaviour models are limited in their ability to explain non-adherence. This thesis aims to address these issues. Aim: To undertake a review of CLBP literature (Study 1), to develop a new measure (Study 2) and to investigate the role of psychosocial, clinical and executive function factors in explaining variation in exercise adherence in CLBP (Study 3). Design: Study 1 involved systematica

Abstract:

Over the past 13 years, the United States Army has been engaged in armed conflict within Afghanistan. Unfortunately, the United States Army has been forced to evacuate soldiers from the battlefield because of malaria, a parasitic disease that is endemic in Afghanistan. Even though the U.S. Army has adopted an effective chemoprophylaxis protocol, soldiers' adherence to their prescribed medication has been historically low. This research addressed a gap in literature regarding the adherence rates of U.S. Army enlisted soldiers to their prescribed oral malaria chemoprophylaxis. In addition, this

Abstract:

Patient nonadherence to medication harms patient outcomes and raises costs via wasted and unnecessary treatment (Osterberg and Blaschke, 2005). However, current adherence measures are far from optimal (Vitolins et al., 2000), and adherence enhancing interventions rarely successful (Haynes et al., 2008). This may be a reflection of inadequate patient targeting and adherence measurement. This thesis describes the development of questionnaires intended to be clinically useful by predicting patient risk of nonadherence. A scoping review with meta-analysis was undertaken to identify predictors obje

Abstract Background: Cannabis is increasingly prescribed clinically and utilized by people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) to address symptoms of HIV disease and to manage side effects of antiretroviral therapy (ART). In light of concerns about the possible deleterious effect of psychoactive drug use on adherence to ART, we sought to determine the relationship between high-intensity cannabis use and adherence to ART among a community-recruited cohort of HIV-positive illicit drug users. In order to identify which PLWHA are accessing prescription cannabis, we also examined prevalence and correlate

This dissertation had three specific aims: to estimate the prevalence of adherence among drug users, to determine whether drug use was directly associated with adherence, and to assess whether factors drawn from the Behavioral Model of Health Care Utilization (BMHCU) are associated with adherence. The self-reported prevalence of adherence to prescribed health care recommendations in the past 12 months among the community sample of drug users and non-drug users from similar low-income areas in the study sample ranged from 53%-74%. Non-drug users consistently had higher rates of adherence than d

The major reason documented for these poor health outcomes is related to lower HTN control rates among African Americans compared to other racial/ethnic groups.

The growing epidemic of coronary heart disease (CHD) is evident worldwide, accounting for global mortality rates of approximately 7.2 million per year. Coronary heart disease causes are multi-factorial encompassing both intrinsic and extrinsic factors; including age, gender, genetics, diet, physical activity, obesity, psychology, smoking and alcohol intake. Serum low density lipoprotein (LDL), an underlying consequence mainly of poor dietary habits, is strongly associated with increased risk of developing CHD and therefore a major target for CHD risk reduction strategies.

Aims: The aims of the thesis were to study the influence of gender and psychological distress on self-reported, intentional and unintentional non-adherent behaviour, and to investigate the reasons for NA.
