摘要

Medication knowledge, adherence and predictors among people with heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Background. Although medicines are a key component in the self-management of chronic illness, lack of adherence is a common problem. Aim. To describe medication adherence and predictors in relation to the Multidimensional Adherence Model among older adults with chronic illness. Method. During a home interview, we collected data from 118 patients with chronic illnesses (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and heart failure), following a recent illness exacerbation, to determine self-reported medication adherence, medication knowledge and capacity for self-management of their illness. We used the Medication Adherence Model as an organising framework and performed multivariate analyses to determine the independent predictors. We conducted the study between April 2005-June 2006. Results. Participants had an average age of 75.54 years (SD 8.38), with marginally more men (56-8%) than women, and were prescribed an average 4.68 (SD 2.11) medications for their primary diagnosis of either chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or heart failure. Most participants (75-2%) were adherent to their prescribed medicines; however, medication knowledge was low [mean score 47-61 (SD 18-73) out of a potential 100]. Predictors of better adherence to medicines were patient-related: female gender and higher self-management capacity, and condition-related: heart failure diagnosis. Socioeconomic and treatment-related factors were not identified as independent predictors of medication adherence. Predictors of better medication knowledge were higher capacity for self-management, more concurrent conditions, younger age and taking fewer medicines. Conclusion. Assessment of self-management capacity, targeting interventions towards patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and men, rather than relying solely on increasing medication knowledge, is essential to impro...
