Повний текст джерелаSpecific Aims: To assess the impact of provider outreach for an MTM program by comparing two formats of recommendations: a general informational fax and a prescription template fax. Methods: This study was a retrospective analysis of pharmacist recommendations at an MTM center in 2012. Recommendations were made following either a comprehensive medication review with a patient or of available pharmacy claims. Interventions included in this analysis were those made to improve patient treatment through the use of medications consistent with national treatment guidelines (“guideline alerts”) or those made to reduce cost (“cost alerts”). A recommendation was a success if the change in medication therapy was noted in claims data within 120 days. The success rates between the two interventions were compared using Chi square. Main Results: The overall success rate was 20.9% (10,947/52,409). For guideline alerts, there was a significant difference in the acceptance of prescription faxes (13.1%) versus informational faxes (9.9%) (P <0.001). Prescription faxes recommending the addition of an ACE inhibitor for hypertension in diabetic patients was significantly higher compared to informational faxes in females over 60 years old (14.8% vs. 10.00%, P <0.001) and all males (13.2% vs. 9.9%, P <0.001). For cost alerts, there was a statistically significant difference in the acceptance of prescription faxes (49.7%) versus informational faxes (37.7%) (P <0.001). Conclusion: Prescription faxes produce higher rates of acceptance for guideline and cost recommendations. While both prescription and informational faxes could be used to further improve the communication between prescribers and pharmacists that provide MTM services, providers may prefer specific prescription faxes.

Повний текст джерелаThe purpose of this scholarly project was to examine the use of a high-fidelity simulation workshop to improve accuracy with pediatric dosage calculations among practicing pediatric nurses. The NLN Jeffries Simulation Theory provided a framework for this descriptive quantitative project. A convenience sample of 15 pediatric nurses completed a 10-question pediatric dosage calculation pre-test, a high-fidelity simulation workshop, a 10-question pediatric dosage calculation post-test, and a post-simulation evaluation survey. In addition, a one-month follow-up 10-question pediatric dosage calculation post-test and a one-month follow-up post- high-fidelity simulation workshop survey were administered via Survey Monkey©, in which 12 pediatric nurse participants completed. Pre-tests and post-tests were analyzed for central tendency and a t-test analysis was performed for statistical significance. Results revealed statistical significance between pre-test and post-test as well as statistical significance between post-test and one-month follow-up post-test. The Likert scale post-simulation survey and one month post-simulation survey were analyzed for central tendency. The results from the post simulation survey and one-month follow-up survey revealed the participants agreed to strongly agreed the high-fidelity simulation workshop impacted their proficiency and accuracy in calculating pediatric dosages. The findings from this project provides insights into the use of high-fidelity simulation as a continuing education tool for the practicing pediatric nurse in relation to pediatric medication efficacy.

Resumo: Este estudo tem como objetivo disponibilizar uma versão da Self-efficacy for Appropriate Medication Adherence Scale ¿ SEAMS para a cultura brasileira e avaliar suas propriedades de medida quando aplicada em pacientes com doença arterial coronária (DAC) em seguimento ambulatorial.. O processo de adaptação cultural foi realizado de acordo com as etapas propostas na literatura - tradução, síntese, retrotradução, avaliação por comitê de especialistas e pré-teste, seguidos pela avaliação da praticabilidade, aceitabilidade, confiabilidade e validade. Fizeram parte deste estudo 147 pacientes com DAC em uso de medicamentos cardioprotetores e de alívio dos sintomas, em seguimento ambulatorial em hospital universitário do interior do estado de São Paulo. Os dados foram obtidos por meio de entrevista e aplicação de instrumento de caracterização sociodemográfica/clínica e das versões brasileiras da Morisky Self-Reported Measure of Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-4), da General Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE) e da SEAMS. A praticabilidade foi avaliada pelo tempo despendido na entrevista e a aceitabilidade pela proporção de pacientes que responderam a todos os itens do instrumento. Foi estimada a confiabilidade no que se refere à consistência interna e estabilidade da medida. A validade de construto foi estimada pela evidência correlacional entre os escores da versão brasileira da SEAMS, da MMAS-4 e da GSE. A validade de grupos conhecidos foi testada entre aqueles classificados com "dose suficiente" e "dose insuficiente" ( medida da proporção de adesão) e entre aqueles "aderentes" e "não aderentes" (medida da avaliação global da adesão). Foi empregada a análise confirmatória de fatores por meio dos modelos de equações estruturais A validade convergente do modelo fatorial foi avaliada pelas medidas de Average Variance Extracted (AVE), magnitude das cargas fatorias, alfa de Cronbach e confiabilidade composta. A validade discriminante do modelo fatorial foi avaliada pelas análises das cargas fatoriais cruzadas, comparação entre as raízes quadradas das AVEs, pelos coeficientes de correlação entre os construtos e pela correlação desatenuada. Os dados foram submetidos às análises descritivas, com avaliação da praticabilidade, aceitabilidade e efeitos teto e chão; de confiabilidade por meio do coeficiente alfa de Cronbach (consistência interna) e do coeficiente de correlação intraclasse (estabilidade da medida). O coeficiente de correlação de Spearman foi utilizado para testar a correlação entre os escores das versões brasileiras da SEAMS, MMAS-4e GSE. O teste de Mann-Whitney foi utilizado para verificar a capacidade da versão brasileira da SEAMS em discriminar entre coronariopatas classificados em "dose suficiente" ou "insuficiente" e entre aqueles "aderentes" e "não aderentes" ao tratamento medicamentoso. A versão traduzida da SEAMS apresentou evidências de equivalências semântico-idiomática, conceitual e cultural, com elevada aceitabilidade e praticabilidade. Foi evidenciado efeito chão para o escore total e domínios da SEAMS. Os achados evidenciaram confiabilidade da medida - coeficiente de correlação intraclasse (0,99) e coeficiente alfa de Cronbach (entre 0,85-0,90). Foram constatadas correlações significativas negativas de moderada a forte magnitude com os escores da MMAS-4, porém não foram encontradas correlações com os ecores da medida geral de autoeficácia. A validade de grupos conhecidos foi apoiada, uma vez que a escala discriminou entre aderentes e não aderentes ao tratamento medicamentoso. A análise fatorial confirmatória confirmou a estrutura de fatores do instrumento original. Os resultados evidenciaram cargas fatoriais cruzadas ? 0,50 para todos os itens da escala nos domínios em que foram alocados no instrumento original, AVE=0,52 para o fator 1 e 0,69 para o fator 2 e confiabilidade composta de 088 e 0,99 para os fatores 1 e 2, respectivamente, apontando para a validade convergente do modelo. Foram constatadas valores superiores de cargas fatoriais cruzadas para todos os itens da escala nos domínios em que foram previamente designados no instrumento original, raízes quadradas de AVEs superiores às correlações entre os construtos e correlação desatenuada (r=0,83), sugerindo validade discriminante do modelo. A confiabilidade de ambos os fatores, estimada de acordo com a homogeneidade dos itens, apontou para confiabilidade e validade de construto convergente da versão brasileira da SEAMS. Os achados apontam para confiabilidade e validade de construto da versão brasileira da SEAMS entre coronariopatas em seguimento ambulatorial
Abstract: This study aims to provide a version of the Self-efficacy for Appropriate Medication Adherence Scale - SEAMS for Brazilian culture and evaluate its measurement properties when applied to patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). The process of cultural adaptation was performed according to the steps proposed in the literature - translation, synthesis, back translation, expert committee review and pretesting, followed by evaluation of the feasibility, acceptability, reliability and validity. This study included 147 patients with CAD in the use of cardioprotective medications and relief of symptoms in outpatients at a university hospital in the state of São Paulo. Data were obtained by interview and instrument sociodemographic / clinical characterization and Brazilian versions of Morisky Self-Reported Measure of Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-4), the General Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE) and SEAMS. Practicality was assessed by time spent in the interview and the acceptability by the proportion of patients who responded to all items of the instrument. Reliability with respect to the internal consistency and stability of the measurement was estimated. Construct validity was estimated by correlational evidence between the scores of the Brazilian version of SEAMS, the MMAS-4 and GSE. Known groups validity was tested between those classified as "sufficient dose" and "insufficient dose" (measure of the proportion of membership) and among those "adherent" and "nonadherent" (measure of overall assessment of compliance). Was used confirmatory factor analysis through structural equation models Convergent validity of the factorial model was evaluated by measurements of Average Variance Extracted (AVE), magnitude of loads fatorias, Cronbach's alpha and composite reliability. The discriminant validity of the model was evaluated by factorial analysis of cross-factor loadings, comparing the square roots of AVEs, the correlation coefficients between the constructs and the correlation desatenuada. Data were subjected to descriptive analyzes, assessing the feasibility, acceptability and ceiling and floor effects; reliability through Cronbach alpha (internal consistency) and the intraclass correlation coefficient (measurement stability). The Spearman correlation coefficient was used to test the correlation between the scores of the Brazilian versions of SEAMS, MMAS-4e GSE. The Mann-Whitney test was used to verify the ability of the Brazilian version of the SEAMS in discriminating between coronary classified as "adequate dose" or "insufficient" and among those "adherent" and "nonadherent" to drug treatment. The translated version of SEAMS presented evidence of idiomatic semantic-conceptual and cultural equivalence, with high acceptability and feasibility. Floor effect was evidenced for the total score and domains of SEAMS. The findings indicate reliability of the measure - the intraclass correlation coefficient (0.99) and Cronbach's alpha coefficient (between 0.85-0.90). Significant negative correlations of moderate to strong magnitude with the scores of MMAS-4 were observed, but no correlations with ecores general measure of self-efficacy were found. Known groups validity was supported, since the scale discriminated between adherent and non-adherent to medication treatment. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the factor structure of the original instrument. Results showed cross-factor loadings ? 0.50 for all items of the scale in areas that were allocated in the original instrument, AVE = 0.52 for factor 1 and 0.69 for factor 2 and composite reliability of 0.88 and 0.99 for factors 1 and 2, respectively, indicating the convergent validity of the model. Higher values of cross-factor loadings for all scale items in domains that were previously designated in the original instrument, the square roots of higher than the correlations between constructs and desatenuada correlation (r = 0.83) strokes were observed, suggesting discriminant validity of model. The reliability of both factors, estimated according to the homogeneity of the items pointed to reliability and convergent validity of the Brazilian version of the SEAMS. The findings point to reliability and construct validity of the Brazilian version of SEAMS between coronary outpatients

Повний текст джерелаExperimental study with random distribution in two groups (Intervention or Control), which assessed the health-related quality of life and medication treatment adherence of patients who were hospitalized to adjust the oral anticoagulation drug dosage, according to their participation in an educational group (Intervention Group - IG) or in routine care (Control Group - CG). The groups were also compared according to their general self-efficacy and presence of anxiety and depression symptoms at two times: upon hospitalization (T1) and two months after discharge from hospital (T2). The study was developed at a public hospital in the interior of São Paulo State, Brazil, from March 2011 till December 2012. In total, 113 patients were considered eligible for the study, randomized between CG (N=58) and IG (N=55). The randomization took place after the patients\' stratification into low, medium and high bleeding risk, according to The Outpatient Bleeding Risk Index. The patients who participated in the educative program received individualized orientations, using illustrative material, during the hospitalization. After discharge, the orientations were provided through telephone contact during the first and fourth week. To assess the research variables, the versions of the Duke Anticoagulation Satisfaction Scale, Treatment Adherence Measures, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and General Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale validated for Brazilian Portuguese were used. After two months of monitoring, 44 participants completed the follow- up in CG (75.8% of participants at T1) and 38 in IG (69.1%). The data were assessed by means of descriptive statistics and comparison of means for the variables of interest between the groups (independent Student\'s t) and intra-groups (paired Student\'s t-test), upon the hospitalization and two months after discharge. The significance level adopted was 0.05. When comparing the patient groups that completed the follow-up or not, we found similarities in sociodemographic and clinical variables and related to the oral anticoagulation therapy. These similarities were also observed when comparing the control and intervention groups during the hospitalization. As regards the health-related quality of life, treatment adherence, anxiety and depression symptoms and self-efficacy, the results reveal similarities between CG and IG at T1 and T2, not confirming our study hypotheses for T2. At T2, the differences in the HRQoL (p=0.65), adherence (p=0.89), anxiety (p=0.20), depression (p=0.27) and self- efficacy (p=0.65) scores could not be confirmed when considering the participation in the educative program. In view of the results obtained in the present study, we conclude that, for patients with previous experience in oral anticoagulation treatment, the educative strategy used was not efficient to improve the selected response variables. From the clinical viewpoint, this result is relevant for the health professionals who deliver care to this population of oral anticoagulation drug users. Our assertion is based on the knowledge produced in an earlier study by our research group, which found statistically significant and better results for the intervention group. When comparing the populations in both studies, which were undertaken at the same hospital, the sole difference relates to the length of the medication intake. Therefore, professionals should consider the usage length of the medication as a decisive factor in the choice of the educative strategy they will adopt

The present report use National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) to explore the efficacy and side effects of common medications in clinical neurology. There are two main parts in this thesis. First part aimed to elucidate if long-term duration of aspirin and clopidogrel following carotid artery stenting (CAS) would provide an extra clinically relevant benefit. We concluded long-term (more than 42 days as compared with 30-42 days) use of aspirin plus clopidorel after CAS did not decrease the risk of ischemic stroke, composite vascular events or death during 6 months of follow up. The duration (1 month) suggested based on current guidelines is probably suitable. More researches are needed to provide more evidence on the appropriate duration of dual antiplatelet therapy after CAS. Second part investigated the incidence, occurrence time and risk factors of cinnarizine (cz) and flunarizine (fz)-related extrapyramidal side effects (EPSEs). The incidence rates of fz and cz-induced EPSEs were 21.03 and 10.3 per 10,000 person-months, respectively. The hazard ratios (HRs) of EPSEs among fz and cz subjects were 8.03 (95% CI 6.55-9.84) and 3.41 (95% CI 2.50-4.63) when compared with the control individuals. Higher exposure dose and duration, old age, history of essential tremor or cardiovascular disease increased the risk of fz-associated EPSEs. Potential risks should be weighed when considering long-term use of these drugs.

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) including gefitinib, erlotinib, afatinib and osimertinib are recommended as first-line therapy for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-activating mutations. Gefitinib, erlotinib, and afatinib have been reimbursed by the National Health Insurance program for the first-line treatment of patients with stage IIIb or IV NSCLC with EGFR-activating mutations now. However, few studies compared these three TKIs together. Besides, previous studies showed specific medications such as hydroxymethyl glutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors (statins), metformin, acid-suppressing (AS) medications, and glucocorticoids might influence efficacy of TKIs. There was few large sample and well-conducted studies to confirm the impact of co-medications. Thus, we conducted a retrospective study using database of Taipei Veterans General Hospital to determine the efficacy of TKIs and impact of co-medications on survival.

Nurses’ medication errors will affect the safety of patients, especially the five rights of and interruptions during medication administration. The aim of this project was to investigate the association between medication self-efficacy and identification of medication errors in nurses, and the effect of online objective structured video examination (OSVE) for promoting medication self-efficacy and identification of medication errors. A quasi-experimental, pretest-posttest design and internet survey was employed, and participants were recruited by using respondent-driven sampling (RDS). Results showed both medication self-efficacy and identification of medication errors’ posttest average scores were higher than pretest average scores. Gender was significantly correlated with medication self-efficacy. Marriage, nursing ladder, working unit had significant association with the pretest of identifying medication errors. By the paired samples t test, the pretest and posttest showed significant differences included medication self-efficacy and identification of medication errors. Findings from this study support that the medication OSVE education can improve identifying medication errors immediately and increase the medication self-efficacy. We inferred that OSVE can be an effective strategy of medication education.

Повний текст джерелаA prática farmacêutica tem estado mais orientada no cliente do que no produto, desencadeando um maior interesse pela relação entre o paciente e o farmacêutico. Portanto, tornou-se necessário compreender como a confiança, autoeficácia e adesão à medicação se relacionam nas interações entre o paciente e o farmacêutico, adotando uma perspetiva de análise social (Teoria Social Cognitiva). Assim sendo, este estudo tenciona reforçar os conhecimentos sobre como a confiança e a autoeficácia influência a adesão à medicação dos pacientes. Adotou-se uma pesquisa exploratória e qualitativa para entender a perspetivas dos farmacêuticos e das pessoas neste contexto. Foi feita uma distribuição pela população de questionários com questões abertas e algumas entrevistas estruturadas. Concluiu-se que o comportamento de adesão aos medicamentos dos pacientes é afetado pela confiança que depositam no farmacêutico (quando os medicamentos não são prescritos e quando os farmacêuticos detetam erros na prescrição), mas também pela autoeficácia e expectativa de resultado dos pacientes, sendo que estes são influenciados pela confiança no farmacêutico. Os farmacêuticos ainda têm um longo caminho a percorrer para influenciar totalmente o comportamento dos pacientes. Intervenções destinadas a aumentar o senso de autoeficácia dos pacientes para a adesão à medicação, bem como a confiança dos pacientes nos farmacêuticos, podem ser eficazes para detetar barreiras e resolver problemas no âmbito da adesão à medicação.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide, and it is also the highest cancer incidence among women in Taiwan. At present, chemotherapy is one of the common ways to treat breast cancer, but chemotherapy will inevitably cause damage to normal cells in the human body. Along with the advancement of medicine, the health care system in Taiwan is increasingly focusing on the integration of Western medicine and non-mainstream traditional medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) plays an important role in extending the patients’ lives and improving their quality of life. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the changes of physiological indicators, nutritional status, quality of life, and life function for breast cancer patients who received TCM during chemotherapy, and to examine the effect of the changes of physiological indicators and nutritional status on the changes of their quality of life and life functions. This study used a retrospective study design and conducted secondary data analysis. The study participants were the breast cancer patients in a medical center in Kaohsiung City who received supplementary TCM during their chemotherapy in the period of April 2016 to December 2017. The study participants conducted pre-test before supplementary TCM and conducted post-test after 3 months of TCM. The measurement scale includes the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT-G), the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group scale (ECOG), and various physiological indicators (BMI, white blood cells, heme, and platelets). The results showed that the breast cancer patients who received three months of TCM intervention during chemotherapy significantly improved their quality of life (t=8.10, p<0.001), including the physiological, social, emotional, and functional dimension. The TCM can also improve the life function of breast cancer patients (t = -5.48, p<0.001). In addition, the breast cancer patients whose white blood cells became worse during the intervention of TCM, their quality of life (b=-7.14, p=0.002) and life function (b=0.50, p=0.007) were also worse than other patients. The results of this study support the effectiveness of TCM for breast cancer patients during chemotherapy. We can promote the TCM intervention for breast cancer patients, and we must pay attention to the changes in white blood cells for breast cancer patients during chemotherapy.

Objectives: This is a cross-sectional study about relationship between self-efficacy and medication adherence on patients with percutaneous coronary intervention. The study uses validated Vietnamese version of Self-efficacy scale (SEAMS) and modified Morisky Green Levine Medication Adherence Scale (MGL). Method: The data were obtained from 385 patients (235 men 61.0% and 150 women 39.0%, mean age 66.41 ± 11.779 years), who was given the questionnaire at the outpatient clinic during their follow- up after PCI. Results: The findings have proved the reliability of the scales. Reliability of self-efficacy scale is Cronbach's Alpha = 0.957 and reliability of Medication adherence scale (seven-items) is Cronbach's Alpha = 0.689. Also in this result, demographic characteristics are age group, academic levels, avocation, economic status, self-care and dyslipidemia has an effect on self-efficacy with the value of p < 0.000. Patients’ demographic characteristics did not affected on the medication adherence (p > 0.05). The rate of medication adherence was 75.7% (n = 290) and non-adherence rate was 24.2% (n = 93) and high self-efficacy (n =291, 76.0%), low self-efficacy (n = 92, 24.0%). Conclusions: There is a positive correlation between the self-efficacy and medication adherence (r= 0.41). The p value verifying the significance of the coefficient R in this case is P < 0.001. The higher score of self-efficacy correlated with the better score of medication adherence.

The purposes of this study are to apply Becker’s health belief model(1974)and Bandura’s self-efficacy theory(1977) to exploring the medication adherence behaviors and relevant factors in out-patients with hypertension. The research subjects, who had received anti-hypertension treatment over 3 month, from cardiac clinics of a medical center in Taipei. The formal structured questionnaire was composed of patient’s basic informations, “Adherence behaviors scale”, “Health belief scale”, “Cues to action scale” and “Self-efficacy scale”. A total of 112 subjects were interviewed face-to-face. The results shown were as follows: 1.An objective definition of poor adherence to prescription was the score of “Adherence behavior scale” less than 4.557, and systolic blood pressure more than 140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure more than 90 mmHg. According to this definition, the poor adherence rate was 7.1%, and adherence rate was 65.2%. 2.The main reason for subjects not taking their medications was forgetfulness. Their poor adherence behaviors included omissions of medication schedule, omissions of medication type and dose. 3.The self-efficacy had a significant correlation with medication adherence behaviors and also explained the 7.6% of total variation in subjects’ medication adherence behaviors. 4.The subjects’ age affected perceived severity、 perceived barriers of action and positive cues to action. The subjects’ education level affected perceived severity and perceived benefits of action. Conclusions: Bandura’s self-efficacy theory can be used to predic drug adherence behaviors of hypertension patients. Recommendations: (1) Nurses should emphasize the management of medication for forgetfulness;(2) Nurses can strengthen patient’s ability and confidence for medication adherence;(3) Nurses have to design the education plan of according to education level and age of hypertensive patients for medication education.

Повний текст джерелаNeste estudo foi avaliada a correlação entre as variáveis envolvimento terapêutico e sintomatologia psicopatológica, nas suas diferentes dimensões. Adicionalmente, foi avaliado de que forma a variável duração em tratamento está associada a uma maior eficácia (i.e. quer parcial - indivíduo permanece abstinente ao consumo; quer global - para além da abstinência o indivíduo revela melhorias significativas em várias dimensões do seu funcionamento psicossocial). A amostra de 93 indivíduos, 84 do sexo masculino e 9 do sexo feminino, foi recolhida em programas de tratamento ambulatório na Divisão para a Intervenção nos Comportamentos Aditivos e Dependências (DICAD) com idades compreendidas entre os 23 e os 61 anos. Trata-se de uma amostra de conveniência. Este estudo é de design transversal, de carácter exploratório e descritivo, que não procura relações de causalidade para generalização dos resultados. Procura assim descrever variáveis e encontrar possíveis relações entre elas (correlacional). Utilizou-se um questionário Sócio Demográfico, para recolha de dados gerais, o Inventário de sintomas Psicopatológicos (BSI) e o instrumento Monotorização e Avaliação da Eficácia e do Progresso (MEEP) através dos quais se obtiveram-se os valores para a formação das variáveis a avaliar. Devido à lacuna verificada na literatura sobre a escassez de instrumentos e processos de avaliação de programas de intervenção em consumidores de substâncias químicas, que incluam o fator eficácia global, mostrou-se pertinente esta investigação neste âmbito. No presente estudo não se confirmaram as hipóteses, o que pode ter como razão explicativa a existência de variáveis que podem ter enviesado os nossos resultados e que não foram controladas, como por exemplo o fator estilo ou padrão de vinculação ou o fator motivação e crença no tratamento. Conclui-se que apesar dos nossos resultados não indicarem relações significativas entre as variáveis em estudo, esta área deve ser investigada através de estudos longitudinais e amostras mais robustas.
In this study, it was evaluated the correlation between the variables therapeutic envolvment and psicopathological symptomatology, in their different dimensions. Addicionally, it was evaluated in wish way the variables’ duration in treatment is associated with a higher efficacy (i.e. Partially - the individual remains in drug abstinence; globally - beyond the abstinence, the individual shows significant improvements in some dimensions of its psycossocial functioning). The sample of 93 individuals, 84 are male and 9 are female, was gathered in programs of outpatient treatment of DICAD, with ages between 23 years and 61 years, being a convenience sample. This study is transversal, explorative and descriptive, and it doesn’t seek causal relations, for generalization of results. It describes variaties and finds possível links between them (correlation). A socio-demographic questionnaire was used to collect general data, the Psycopathological Sympton Inventory (BSI) and the Effectiveness and Progress monitoring and Evaluation (MEEP). These instruments gave the results to form the variables to evaluate. Due to the lack of evaluation of chemical consumer intervention programs, which include the global effectiveness factor, this research has shown to be important to the subject. In this study, it wasn’t possible to confirm the hipothesis, due to the fact that it some of the variables aren’t being accounted for, for example, style or binding pattern or belief in healing. Although the results in this study do not indicate significant relationships among the variables under study this area should be investigated through longitudinal studies and more robust samples.

Повний текст джерелаSelf-medication is an increasingly common practice and it is acknowledged that the access to the pharmacy for self-medication is a growing practice in Portugal, often due to lack of effective response from the National Health System to support the demand from people with health problems. This study focuses on how a user faces the self-medication, trying to correlate various concepts: self-medications, trust on the pharmaceutics, attitudes towards drugs not subjected to medical prescription, self-efficacy and self-regulation. Based on a sample of 168 individuals, the obtained results show no relation between self-medication and the trust in the pharmacist (β = -0,055; p = 0,464), the trust in drugs not subjected to medical prescription (β = 0,065; p = 0,404) and the self-efficacy (β = -0,124; p = 0,109), but there is a very strong relation between self-medication and motivation; this study shows that the higher is the value of autonomous motivation (β = 0,433; p = 0,000) the higher is the tendency to self-medication, and the higher is the value of controlled motivation (β = -0,376; p = 0,000) the smaller is the tendency to self-medication.

Повний текст джерелаTaking into account the constant changes of daily life, it is necessary to try to understand and identify them, and understand which point they influence our lives. Giving this, it becomes necessary to understand at which point a certain health sector, mainly pharmaceutical, influence the self efficacy and patients’ behavior – more precisely the medication address. The investigation’s methodology goes from the characterization of patients’ behavior, elaboration of their profiles through the statistical analysis of the surveys developed. We conclude that pharmacists, do that the patient believe that its possible to establish mechanisms that makes him to take the medication, however the trust is not strong enough to influence him to take it. The same happen with the outcome expectation, the pharmacist influence it, but the trust is not strong enough to influence it in taking the medication. We also conclude that the fact that a patient believe that he can take the medication and have in presence the consequences of such an act influence the premeditated behaviors. This thesis was important for pharmaceutical stakeholders to realize that they still have a long way to go to gain full patient confidence, and the patient has to be more aware of the consequences of non-medication behavior.
