Adherence to pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy among patients with chronic pancreatitis in East China: a mixed methods study. Sci Rep 2023; 13:17147. [PMID: 37816878 PMCID: PMC10564898 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-44519-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 10/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) has been recommended as the preferred method for pancreatic exocrine insufficiency caused by chronic pancreatitis (CP). However, at present, the patient-related factors for the poor PERT management are not clear, and there are no studies on the adherence to PERT in patients with CP in East China. This was a mixed-method study following the principle of sequential explanatory design and included two parts: a quantitative and qualitative study. A cross-sectional survey of medication adherence (MA) was first carried out, followed by a semi-structured interview to further explore and explain the influencing factors of adherence to PERT. Of the 148 patients included in this study, 48.0% had poor MA and only 12.8% had good MA. Multivariate logistic regression showed that lower levels of education and income were contributing factors for non-adherence to PERT. Semi-structured interviews with 24 patients revealed that the reasons for non-adherence also included lack of knowledge, self-adjustment of PERT, lifetime of medication, side effects of PERT, forgetfulness, financial burdens, and accessibility issues. The adherence to PERT was poor among patients with CP in East China. Healthcare providers should personalize medication strategies to improve patients' MA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Corticosteroids play a significant role in managing the vast majority of inflammatory and immunologic conditions. To date, population-based studies on knowledge and attitudes concerning corticosteroids are scarce. This study aims to comprehensively assess knowledge, perception, experience and phobia toward corticosteroid use among the general population in the era of COVID-19. METHODS A cross-sectional self-administrated questionnaire was used to collect the data from 6 countries. Knowledge and corticophobia scores, descriptive statistics and logistic regression were computed. RESULTS A total of 2354 participants were enrolled in this study; the majority were females (61.6%) with an average age of 30. Around 61.9% had been infected previously with COVID-19, and about one-third of the participants had experience with corticosteroid use. The mean knowledge score was relatively satisfactory (8.7 ± 4.5 out of 14), and Corticophobia ranked a high score in all countries. Age, female gender, and history of COVID-19 were positively correlated with developing corticophobia. CONCLUSION Our study highlights that the general knowledge about steroids was satisfactory. However, the phobia toward its use upon indication is high. Therefore, enhancing awareness and providing essential counseling regarding the rational use of corticosteroids may reduce corticophobia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of psychological contract of outpatients with hospital pharmacists on medication adherence, providing reference for improving the management of patients' medication adherence from the perspective of pharmacist-patient relationship and psychological contract. METHODS The 8 patients who received medication dispensing service at the outpatient pharmacies at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University were selected for face-to-face in-depth interviews through a purposive sampling method. In order to get more potential information and adjust flexibly according to the actual situation of the interview, the interviews were set as semi-structured, and the interview content was analyzed by using Colaizzi's seven-step method of phenomenological analysis and NVivo11.0 software. RESULTS The following four themes about effects of patients' psychological contract with hospital pharmacists on medication adherence were extracted: from the perspective of patients, the relationship between pharmacists and patients is generally harmonious; pharmacists can basically fulfil their responsibilities; patients' medication adherence needs to be improved; the status of patients' psychological contract with hospital pharmacists may affect medication adherence. CONCLUSION The psychological contract of outpatients with hospital pharmacists has a positive effect on their medication adherence. Effective management on medication adherence should involve the management on patients' psychological contract with hospital pharmacists.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the effectiveness of a multicomponent, eHealth-based self-efficacy intervention to promote subjective well-being and self-efficacy in patients with cardiovascular disease, exploring sex differences. DESIGN A pilot study of a two-arm non-randomized controlled trial. METHODS Forty-two cardiovascular patients (31% women) participated in the study. The experimental group received a personalized psychoeducational session and a 14-days eHealth intervention. Subjective well-being (positive and negative affect) and self-efficacy (chronic and cardiac) were assessed at baseline, post-psychoeducational session, post-eHealth intervention and at two follow-ups. RESULTS The levels of the experimental group in positive affect, at post-eHealth and follow-up 1, and self-efficacy, at post-eHealth, and both follow-ups, were statistically significantly higher compared to the control group (all ps < .05). When considering sex, the intervention was effective only for men. The results highlight the potential of eHealth interventions for cardiac patients and underline the importance of considering a gender perspective in their treatment.

Abstract
Cardiac patients show alarming levels of nonadherence to medications. It is important to consider also patient activation levels. Furthermore, the partner could have a supporting role in these processes. The aim of this study was to investigate the mediating role of patient health self-efficacy (HSE) in the link between dyadic coping (DC) and two self-management outcomes (i.e. medication adherence and patient activation) across the first 6 months of cardiac disease. One hundred couples completed two self-report questionnaires during the hospitalisation for cardiac disease and 6 months after discharge. A longitudinal and dyadic research design was adopted. Cross-sectional analyses at T0 revealed that patient-provided and perceived positive DC and common DC are positively associated with HSE, which in turn is positively associated with medication adherence. HSE mediated the association between patient positive and common DC styles, with the only exception of Patient-provided positive DC, and patient activation. Conversely, patient-provided and perceived negative DC are negatively associated with HSE, which in turns is positively associated with medication adherence and patient activation. Prospective analyses showed that only patient-perceived negative DC at discharge is negatively associated with HSE at T1, which in turns is positively associated with patient activation over time. These results suggest to consider patient perceived and provided DC as antecedents of self-management outcomes via patient HSE. Furthermore, our results recommend to pay particular attention to negative DC, whose negative consequences are manifested also over time, planning interventions targeting partners' awareness of their own DC style.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the most common chronic illnesses in the Eastern Mediterranean. There have been few studies on medication adherence in Arab patients with CVD. AIM To investigate the rates and the reasons for medication adherence in Arab patients with CVD. METHODOLOGY The Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for prevalence systematic reviews was used. MEDLINE, EMCARE, CINAHL, Scopus, Science Direct, PsychINFO, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched. RESULTS Thirteen quantitative studies on medication adherence in Arab adult CVD patients were included.Pooled data from nine studies demonstrated that 53.2% (95% confidence interval = [51.2%, 55.1%]) of patients were adherent to their medications. Reasons for nonadherence to medication include personal factors, understanding, and complexity of treatment regimes, medication knowledge and structural barriers. CONCLUSION Medication adherence appears to have a social gradient, and families should be actively involved in future strategies to increase medication adherence.

Abstract
Worldwide, socio-cultural determinants have been shown to influence the beliefs of patients about their health and decision making for treatment. This is consistent with the evidence that cultural and religious beliefs affect illness conceptualization and behaviors of Jamaican patients living with non-communicable diseases, such as diabetes mellitus and hypertension. Despite these known socio-cultural influences, an acknowledgment of relevance of adherence to pharmacotherapy has been grossly understudied. Furthermore, while poor adherence to pharmacotherapy, especially in the management of patients living with non-communicable diseases is associated with adverse drug reactions; reporting of such information in the pharmacovigilance process is inadequate. We review previous studies on the cultural and religious beliefs within the Jamaican context that may contribute to poor adherence to pharmacotherapy, especially among those patients living with non-communicable diseases. We support the ongoing perspective that current pharmacovigilance processes need retooling with the inclusion of socio-cultural influences on adherence to pharmacotherapy.

Abstract
At the Grenoble Alpes University Hospital Center, patients with cardiovascular disease have the opportunity to participate in a therapeutic education program in the cardiac rehabilitation department. The objective of this study is to analyze the educational needs of patients with coronary stents and heart valve prostheses. Using an exploratory qualitative method, semi-structured research interviews were conducted with 22 patients and an inductive thematic analysis was performed. We found that emergency surgery does not facilitate the assimilation of information in comparison with a scheduled procedure. The image of the "repaired heart" creates a cognitive conflict with the chronicity imposed by secondary preventive monitoring, a particularity of the implantable medical device. Patients feel that the information they receive is sometimes too voluminous and not adapted to their current needs. Thus, we propose an individualized support model based on the respect of temporality and on the psycho-behavioral functioning of the patient.

Abstract
PURPOSE Medication non-adherence is a major public health issue. Recent evidence suggests that depression, inadequate social support, and lower levels of self-efficacy are associated with poor medication adherence. However, the mechanism underlying the association among depression, social support, self-efficacy and medication adherence is unclear. This study aims to examine the mediating role of social support and self-efficacy between depression and medication adherence in older patients with coronary heart disease. PATIENTS AND METHODS Data were collected from 238 hospitalized older patients with coronary heart disease. Depression, social support, self-efficacy, and medication adherence were assessed using structured questionnaires. A serial multiple mediation model was tested using the PROCESS macro for SPSS. RESULTS A total of 238 older patients with CHD with a mean age of 70.5 years were involved in this cross-sectional study. Depression was negatively correlated with medication adherence in older patients with coronary heart disease. Social support and self-efficacy were positively associated with medication adherence, and fully mediated the relationship between depression and medication adherence. Three mediation paths were included in the model: (a) social support, (b) chain combination of social support and self-efficacy, and (c) self-efficacy. CONCLUSION Social support and self-efficacy explain the association of depression and medication adherence in older CHD patients and may be the keys target for enhanced intervention to improve medication adherence in older CHD patients with depression.

Psychometric Properties of the Arabic Version of Medication Adherence Self-Efficacy Scale-Revised in Hypertension. J Nurs Meas 2021; 30:109-123.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cultural adaptation of Medication Adherence Self-Efficacy Scale-Revised is lacking in the Arabs population. This study tested the psychometric properties of the Arabic version of the Medication Adherence Self-Efficacy Scale-Revised. METHODS The study included 199 Omani hypertensive patients. The scale was translated into Arabic. Reliability and construct and convergent validity were examined. RESULTS Scale's reliability was α = .93. One factor was identified and explained about 57.5% of the variance. A new modified model with covariance suggested a better model fit. A significant relationship between the scale and Morisky medication adherence scale was found (r = .53, p < .001). CONCLUSIONS The Arabic version scale is reliable, valid, and could be applied in the clinical settings to improve medication adherence.

[PMID: 33991019 DOI: 10.1111/nhs.12852] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2020] [Revised: 04/12/2021] [Accepted: 04/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Nurse-led counseling and systematic follow-up have been shown to reduce cardiovascular risk factor levels. The study aims were to investigate if cardiovascular risk factor levels could be reduced in patients with coronary artery disease with a nurse-led intervention and to report patients' evaluations of nurse-led counseling. The study design was a real-life longitudinal follow-up counseling intervention. Data were collected from November 2017 to May 2020. The nurse-led intervention and patients' follow-up time was 1 year. Of the 78 patients recruited, 74 completed the study. The most significant findings were in the levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides at every follow-up visit compared to their baseline levels and that waist circumference decreased during the 1-year follow-up. Patients assessed the quality of nurse-led counseling to be very good, though it decreased slightly during follow-up. The results suggest the integrated care path and specialized and primary care for coronary artery disease patients need further development. More research is needed on how to strengthen patients' self-management and what kind of counseling would best promote it.

Abstract
Introduction: Pharmaceutical expenditures have increased dramatically in most developed and developing countries in recent decades. Healthcare system policymakers have expressed concerns about the inappropriate, irrational, or harmful prescribing of drugs. Objectives: The attitudes of physicians towards prescribing generic drugs and predictors of perceived utility of drugs were investigated in the present study. Methods: In this cross-sectional research, 77 physicians at different levels of job hierarchies, working in various public sector shifts, were recruited to participate in a survey of their attitudes toward prescribing generic drugs in Iraqi Kurdistan in 2018. The doctors were located in a general, an emergency, and a pediatric hospital. A self-administered structured questionnaire was designed based on the extended technology acceptance model for product use (TETPU). Results: The doctors agreed that drugs should be prescribed according to their utility for patients (median [M] = 5.0; interquartile range [IQR] = 2.9). Most of the physicians mentioned that they prescribed drugs according to the patients’ needs (75.0%), evaluation of the availability of alternatives (69.0%) and consumer perceptions of a price (69.0%). The analysis showed that (1) the importance of physicians’ perceptions and their recognition of patients’ need achievement (P=.012), (2) the physicians' recognition of the actual use of drugs by consumers (P=.030) and (3) being male (p=.009) were associated with perceptions of drug utility. Conclusions: The study’s results suggest that perceived drug utility in prescription writing is associated with physicians’ perceptions of need achievement and attitudes toward how patients actually use medicines.
