Filter by:The main study intervention is the daily witnessing of participant self-administration of medications by trained pharmacy staff to ensure compliance. The staff in question will be provided by Leila pharmacy and will in addition provide support so that individuals can transition back into living independently through reminders to attend regularly scheduled medical appointments and counseling on correct use of prescribed medications.
This study examines tenofovir (TFV) drug concentrations in adults one day after taking a single dose of Truvada® - a pill used to prevent and treat HIV infection. The results of this study will be used to improve the (efficacy/accuracy) of a white coat adherence (WCA) detection test - a blood test that can be used to indicate medication adherence. Participants will receive one dose of Truvada®, and provide 2 total samples of blood.
This goal of this project is to test whether self-regulation assays and interventions can be delivered and change self-regulation in a sample of adolescents, specifically to test in a small randomized clinical trial (RCT) whether self-regulation interventions lead to change in medication adherence. The study will focus on adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). These youth have clear medication adherence goals, yet are often non adherent and at great health risk during this developmental period. As responsibility for diabetes management shifts from parent to youth during this time, intervening with adolescents directly is vital for prevention.
There is a well-documented need for effective interventions that can help patients understand and safely adhere to prescribed medications, particularly those with greater potential for harm if not taken correctly. The investigators will leverage health and consumer technologies with their EHR-based Medication Complete Communication (EMC2) Strategy to: 1) inform patients about medication risks and safe use, 2) promote provider education and counseling about prescribed drugs and 3) monitor patient adherence outside of visits. The EMC2 Strategy could be feasible, sustainable, and readily available to ambulatory care practices.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of telehealth warfarin education in a charity outpatient clinic. The purpose is to increase patient knowledge with regard to their warfarin therapy and to measure knowledge retention
Nonadherence to medications by patients requiring hemodialysis (HD) leads to unfavorable clinical outcomes.Limited data exist on the influence of pharmacists on pharmacoadherence by patients requiring HD. Therefore, we assessed the impact of patient-centered pharmacist care through the implementation of concepts of Medication Therapy Management (MTM) and motivational interview (MI) on pharmacoadherence and its outcomes in patients requiring HD.
Background Medication administration errors occur in around 20% of administrations. Patient involvement (PI) is recommended and self-management support e.g. as self-administration of patient's own drugs during hospital stay is a central component of practising PI. Aim To investigate whether PI in administering drugs in hospital affects the number of medication errors, medication adherence and patient satisfaction and whether it is economically advantageously. Materials and methods The PhD Study is performed at the Department of Cardiology, Randers Regional Hospital. The study design is "complex intervention" and the PhD study therefore consists of three studies. In study 1 the intervention is developed, investigated for feasibility and pilot-tested in small scale. In study 2 and 3 the intervention is evaluated within a RCT with outcomes as medication errors, medication adherence, patient satisfaction and cost-effectiveness.
The current study will use the double-blind balanced placebo design to examine differences between expectancies versus the pharmacological effects of varenicline medication administered for two weeks to cigarette smokers. The double-blind balanced placebo design includes medication administration (active medication v. placebo) and medication information (told truth v. deception) resulting in four groups of smokers: (1) told therapeutic dose (TD) medication + received TD medication; (2) told TD medication + received placebo; (3) told low dose (LD) medication+ received TD dose medication; (4) told LD medication + received placebo. Ecological momentary assessments (EMA) in the form of Daily Dairies delivered via smartphone will assess real-time side effects, withdrawal symptoms, cigarettes smoked, medication use, and reasons for medication non-adherence.
The aim of the current study is to pilot a novel intervention to help people explore their decision making around the use of neuroleptic medication. A case series design will be used, with outcome variables measured at multiple time points pre-, during- and post-intervention. Participants will also be asked to complete an evaluation interview post-intervention. The primary aim is to investigate the feasibility and acceptability of offering the intervention.
Medication non-adherence can lead to serious health issues for older adults. This study is a four week study in older adults using a new device, the eDosette, which dispenses and records how one takes their medications, and subsequently makes this information available to the primary care team by the internet. This study aims to show that the eDosette can report how well a group of older adults living independently in the community are taking their medications (e.g. "medication adherence"). This study hopes to show that the eDosette intervention could play a role in medication adherence by improving conversations between older adults and primary care.
