Objective To analyze the risk factors of hypertension combined with cerebral hemorrhage. Methods From May 2015 to October 2016, 92 hypertension patients with cerebral hemorrhage (group A) were enrolled; simultaneously, 110 hypertension patients without cerebral hemorrhage (group B) were included. We analyzed retrospectively the clinical data of two groups and the risk factors of hypertension complicated with cerebral hemorrhage. Results The results of univariate analysis showed that the ratios of patients in group A with the following indexes, >65 years old, body mass index >30 kg/m2, >7-year smoking history, triglyceride level >1.7 mmol/L, cholesterol level >5.72 mmol/L, high density lipoprotein level >0.9 mmol/L, and bad medication compiance, were much more higher than those in group B (P<0.05). The rusults of multivariate analysis showed that smoking history, diabetes mellitus history, hypertension history, triglycerides level, cholesterol level, bad medication compliance were the risk factors of hypertension combined with cerebral hemorrhage (P<0.05). Conclusions The risk factors of hypertension combined with cerebral hemorrhage include smoking history, diabetes mellitus history, hypertension history, triglyceride level, cholesterol level, and medication compliance. We shoud pay more attention to these factors in clinical practice.
ObjectiveTo analyze the influence factors of the stable angina pectoris patients' medication compliance based on health belief model. MethodsFrom January to December, 2013, 107 patients with stable angina pectoris were interviewed using the self-design questionnaires, and multiple stepwise linear regression statistical was used to analyze. ResultsThe influence factors of increasing medication compliance were as follows:"myocardial infarction can lead to death", "patients with stable angina pectoris may suffer a sudden myocardial infarction", "over the past year the number of the angina pectoris", "standard treatment is good for prevention of myocardial infarction", "suffering myocardial infarction, even if not dying, there is no more chance to live", "take medicine on time can get family's praise", and "among the people that I know there are patients who die of myocardial infarction". The partial regression coefficients were 0.245, 0.251, 0.248, 0.099, 0.234, 0.162, 0.095, respectively; while "worry about side effects of the drugs", "can't afford the medicine", the partial regression coefficients were -0.164 and -0.114. ConclusionHealth belief model is helpful for general practitioners to evaluate the effect factors of medication compliance on stable angina pectoris.
Objective To explore the hormone medication compliance in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and analyze its influencing factors. Methods Between May and December 2013, 96 children were investigated by questionnaires about medication compliance when they were out of the hospital. Then we analyzed the influencing factors for medication compliance. All the data were analyzed by SPSS 19.0 software. Results Of these 96 children, medication nonadherence accounted for 52% (50). The main guardian, educational level of the father, educational level of the mother, residence, duration of illness, time of hospitalization, and understanding of the treatment plan played significant roles in causing different medication compliance among these children (P＜0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that duration of illness [OR=2.204, 95%CI (1.253, 3.875), P=0.006], residence [OR=2.615, 95%CI (1.0 23, 6.687), P=0.045] and the mother’s educational level [OR=0.147, 95%CI (0.028, 0.788), P=0.025] were the independent factors for medication compliance. Conclusions According to the survey, hormone medication compliance in children with chronic kidney disease is not satisfying. We should strengthen the health education in children and their parents, and adopt specific interventions to enhance the medication compliance so as to effectively control the disease and delay the progression.
ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the effects of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) on improving depression, medication adherence and quality of life in people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV). MethodsWe searched The Cochrane Library (Issue 4, 2013), Ovid-JBI, PubMed, EMbase, PsycARTICLES, CBM and CNKI to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on improving depression, medication adherence and quality of life in PLHIV from the establishment dates to April 30th 2013. Two reviewers independently screened literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data, and assessed methodological quality. Meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.2. ResultsA total of 17 RCTs were included, involving 2 163 patients. The results of meta-analysis showed that CBT significantly improved PLHIV's depression (SMD=-0.26, 95%CI-0.41 to-0.10, P=0.001), and quality of life (SMD=-0.57, 95%CI-1.04 to-0.11, P=0.02) in 6 months. Meanwhile, CBT significantly improved PLHIV's medication adherence (WMD=3.98, 95%CI 1.67 to 6.30, P=0.000 8) in the long term. ConclusionCBT is efficacious in improving PLHIV's depression and quality of life in the short term, and improving medication adherence in the long term, compared to standard care.
ObjectiveTo investigate the status of roxadustat in patients undergoing maintenance peritoneal dialysis and analyze the factors affecting drug compliance. MethodsPatients with renal anemia undergoing maintenance peritoneal dialysis in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from July 2020 to March 2021 were selected. All patients took roxadustat orally. According to the medication compliance, the patients were divided into good compliance group and poor compliance group. The general information questionnaire and Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8 (MMAS-8) were used to investigate and analyze the included patients, and their clinical examination indexes were collected. ResultsA total of 100 patients were included, Including 39 cases (39%) in the good compliance group and 61 cases (61%) in the poor compliance group. The average score of medication compliance of roxadustat was 5.19±1.72. Logistic regression analysis showed that drug cognition [odds ratio (OR)=0.099, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.027, 0.365), P=0.001], medication troubles/complex protocol [OR=5.330, 95%CI (1.567, 18.132), P=0.007], and adverse drug reactions [OR=5.453, 95%CI (1.619, 18.368), P=0.006] were factors affecting patient compliance. Hemoglobin in the good compliance group was lower than that in the poor compliance group (Z=−2.259, P=0.024); there was no significant difference in other clinical examination indexes (P>0.05). ConclusionsThe overall compliance of oral roxadustat in maintenance peritoneal dialysis patients is poor, and the corresponding follow-up management system should be improved. Nurses should provide comprehensive and systematic medication guidance to patients, encourage them to fully understand the clinical manifestations, treatment schemes and prognosis of renal anemia, clarify the time, dose, possible adverse reactions and mitigation methods of roxadustat, etc., and help them to treat the disease with correct cognition and attitude, so as to improve their drug compliance.
ObjectiveTo explore the influencing factors of medication compliance in drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis patients.MethodsUsing phenomenological research methods, a semi-structured in-depth interview was conducted on 19 inpatients with drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis admitted to the Drug-resistant Tuberculosis Department of Changsha Central Hospital between April and August 2019, and the data were coded, analyzed, sorted out, summarized, and extracted.ResultsThe influencing factors of medication compliance in patients with drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis could be divided into two categories: promoting factors and hindering factors. The promoting factors included the patient’s own factors (emphasis on medication therapy, desire for medication knowledge, and efforts to solve medication difficulties) and social factors (family support). The hindering factors included the patient’s own factors (lack of knowledge about tuberculosis, and severe negative emotions), drug treatment factors (fear of adverse drug reactions, and complicated medication plans), and social factors (increased financial burden).ConclusionsDrug compliance of patients with drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis is affected by patients, family members, medical staff and social environment. Nursing staff should develop personalized drug plan to improve the patients’ drug compliance.

MethodsAccording to ADAPTE methodology and status of HAART in China, we searched, appraised, selected and adapted current clinical practice guidelines on the management of medication adherence to HAART. ResultsA total of 10 guidelines were included, and the final clinical practice guidelines for the management of medication adherence to HAART involved 3 aspects, including influential factors, assessment methods, and interventions. High quality evidence resources had been formed, and the quality of final clinical practice guidelines was higher. ConclusionIt is feasible to develop clinical practice guidelines according to the ADAPTE method, and reliable evidence support has been provided for the development of clinical practice guidelines based on guideline adaption.
ObjectiveTo explore the effect of family-school-hospital application in continuous nursing care for children with epilepsy. Methods120 children with epilepsy admitted to Children's Hospital Affiliated to Jiangnan University from January 2021 to October 2022 were randomly divided into two groups, each with 60 cases. The control group received routine care, while the experimental group received family-school-hospital continuous care. Compare the awareness of epilepsy knowledge, disease control effectiveness, medication compliance, negative emotions, physical and mental status, and quality of life before and after nursing between the families of two groups of children with epilepsy. ResultsAfter 2 months of nursing care, the scores of family members' knowledge of epilepsy in the experimental group were higher than the control group (P<0.05). The effect of disease control in the experimental group was better the control group (P<0.05). The drug compliance of the experimental group was higher than the control group (P<0.05). The quality of life score in the intervention group was higher than the control group (P<0.05). ConclusionThe application of family-school-hospital in the continuous care of children with epilepsy can improve their family members' awareness of epilepsy knowledge, effectively control the disease, improve medication compliance, improve negative emotions and physical and mental conditions, and thus improve the quality of life of children.
Objective To investigate the factors influencing the medication adherence among patients with diabetes signing family doctor service contract in Beijing urban areas, and provide the basis for improving the level of medication adherence. Methods A total of 320 patients with diabetes from four community health service centers in Beijing urban areas were selected to answer the questionnaires using convenient sampling from June to September 2015. Univariate analysis and binary logistic regression were used for the influencing factors analysis. Results A total of 320 questionnaires were distributed, and 317 valid questionnaires were recovered, in which the rate of high medication adherence was 54.6%. The results of logistic regression showed that the main impact factors on medication adherence were age [odds ratio (OR)=1.918, P=0.011)], degree of education (OR=2.462, P=0.008), knowledge related to diabetes (OR=1.773, P=0.027), adopting of family doctor service or not (OR=2.521, P=0.029) and social function status (P=0.003). Conclusions The family doctor service team should implement the practice of the family doctor service to ensure that the contracted residents can make full use of the family doctor services; and strengthen the follow-up and interventions for patients less aged or with low degree of education. For those with poor social function, more attention should be paid to their self-health management behavior to improve the level of patients’ compliance. As a result, the levels of blood glucose will be well controlled to reduce possibilities of complications and improve their health status and quality of life.
