The Impact

(1) Background: Medication adherence is a key determinant of patient health outcomes in chronic illnesses. However, adherence to long-term therapy remains poor. General beliefs about medicine are considered factors influencing medication adherence. It is essential to address the gap in the literature regarding understanding the impact of general beliefs about medicine on medication adherence to promote adherence in chronic illnesses. (2) Methods: PubMed, CINHAL, and EMBASE databases were searched. Studies were included if they examined medication beliefs using the Beliefs about Medicine Questionnaire in one of four chronic illnesses: hypertension, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and/or asthma. (3) Results: From 1799 articles obtained by the search, only 11 met the inclusion criteria. Hypertension and diabetes represented 91% of included studies, while asthma represented 9%. Higher medication adherence was associated with negative general medication beliefs; 65% of the included studies found a negative association between harm beliefs and adherence, while 30% of studies found a negative association with overuse beliefs. (4) Conclusions: This review evaluated the impact of harm and overuse beliefs about medicines on medication adherence, highlighting the gap in literature regarding the impact of harm and overuse beliefs on adherence. Further research is needed to fully identify the association between general beliefs and medication adherence in people with different cultural backgrounds, and to explore these beliefs in patients diagnosed with chronic illnesses, particularly asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Healthcare providers need to be aware of the impact of patients’ cultural backgrounds on general medication beliefs and adherence.

Objective: This study evaluated the impact of clinical pharmacist-led intervention in health knowledge and medication adherence of Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. Methods: Questionnaires were designed to assess Health knowledge for Asthma and COPD separately. Medication adherence was measured by using the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8. Pre-counseling patient responses were recorded. Patient counseling was given regarding the disease condition, medications, and medication use at baseline visit. Patient responses were re-measured upon follow-up visit. The data extracted were tabulated, statistically analyzed and the results were obtained. Results: A total of 141 patients completed the study. Before counseling, the mean (±standard deviation) of knowledge and adherence levels were found to be 8.51±3.36 and 5.01±2.11, respectively. After counseling, they increased up to 12.72±2.16 for knowledge (p<0.0001) and 6.60±1.35 (p<0.0001) for medication adherence. The majority of subjects had about 11–30% increase in knowledge as well as medication adherence. Male patients were more adherent to their medication regime than females. Conclusion: The study demonstrates the positive impact of education and counseling provided by a clinical pharmacist in achieving better therapeutic outcomes – through improvement in medication adherence and health knowledge. In conclusion, continuous education programs and patient counseling should be conducted for chronic diseases to reiterate the importance of medication adherence and, in turn, prevent recurrences, arrest disease progression, minimize hospitalization, and ultimately improve quality of life.

Objectives To understand how people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) disavow their support needs and the impact on care. Methods Two stage mixed-method design. Stage 1 involved sub-analyses of data from a mixed-method population-based longitudinal study exploring the needs of patients with advanced COPD. Using adapted criteria from mental health research, we identified 21 patients who disavowed their needs from the 235 patient cohort. Qualitative interview transcripts and self-report measures were analysed to compare these patients with the remaining cohort. In stage 2 focus groups (n = 2) with primary healthcare practitioners (n = 9) explored the implications of Stage 1 findings. Results Patients who disavowed their support needs described non-compliance with symptom management and avoidance of future care planning (qualitative data). Analysis of self-report measures of mental and physical health found this group reported fewer needs than the remaining sample yet wanted more GP contact. The link between risk factors and healthcare professional involvement present in the rest of the sample was missing for these patients. Focus group data suggested practitioners found these patients challenging. Discussion This study identified patients with COPD who disavow their support needs, but who also desire more GP contact. GPs report finding these patients challenging to engage.

The Impact

The formation and progression of chronic dust bronchitis and chronic bronchitis of toxic-chemical etiology, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is accompanied by an increase in the degree of ventilation disorders, echocardiographic signs of hypertrophy and dilatation of the right ventricle are formed, typical for chronic pulmonary heart disease. The progression of disturbances in the function of external respiration in dusty lung diseases leads to a decrease in myocardial contractility. The detection of hemodynamic disturbances at the early stages of the development of occupational lung diseases indicates the need for individual monitoring of the functional state of the cardiovascular system in the process of contact with industrial aerosols, especially in groups of workers with long-term exposure.
