“…Consequently, treatments for mental illness are often sought from traditional and spiritual healers to the exclusion of professional mental health services (Aloud & Rathur, 2009) In contrast, the results of the interviews conducted in this study suggest that mental health care provider has both positive and negative role on compliance rate. These results are in agreement with those obtained by Chambers et al (2011) and Henriques, Costa, and Cabrita (2012), who reported a positive impact of health care providers on medication compliance. This is attributed to the fact that this positive role derived from the scientific knowledge being provided by health care professional.…”

Background: Management of schizophrenia is now shifted to the community setting and family caregivers are the primary caregivers. Managing medications is a complex responsibility of family caregivers caring for patients with mental illness. Medication compliance contributes to improve health outcomes and reduced hospitalization for the care service users; however, little is known about attitudes and perception of family caregivers.

“…Non-adherence to medication is a health phenomenon with a huge impact on the practice, especially in primary care, which affects a large number of the elderly [2,15]. Nowadays, we have an increase in the older age group with all their needs and, every day, nurses are face to face with them.…”

“…The primary goal of this study was to identify effective nursing interventions for older people with chronic disease who live at home in the community, able to enhance medication adherence. According to the results of this systematic review, it is not just a matter of adherence, but also an issue of management of the medication prescribed [2,8,21,23]. In this systematic review we found evidence of effective interventions that should be replicated and re-tested in different target population, with the aim to promote well-being in older people, helping them to live with dignity and autonomy.…”

“…Not only is this lack of adherence prevalent but, it also has dramatic effects on individual and population health level [1][2]7]. The poor medication adherence leads to unnecessary disease progression, disease complications, reduced functional abilities, hosptalizations and institutionalization in nursing homes, a lower quality of life, health costs, and even death [1,[8][9].…”

Currently, demographic trends, at a global level, are characterized by an increase in the older age group. Associated to advanced age, older people are more prone to chronic diseases, and they are confronted with the need to adhere to an often complex medication regimen. Non-adherence has a negative impact at individual and global level. The purpose of this systematic review was answering the question "What are the nursing interventions able to improve in medication adherence in aged people with chronic disease?". The search was conducted in PubMed (including MEDLINE), CINAHL, LILACS, SciELO and EMBASE, on January 2015, without time limit; the articles were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. It was used the PICOS method for the critical analysis. The electronic search identified 9 articles meeting the inclusion criteria. Interventions to improve medication adherence among the elderly should be complex and adapted to the factors of non-adherence. Strategies to improve medication adherence in older adults include educational and behavioral approach. Nurses need to lead the way in researching interventions that can affect medication adherence in older people, working with the current generation to develop plans that meet their needs and using interventions that make sense to them.

The growing aging population is prominent globally. It is projected that by 2050, the proportion of the world's population over 60 years will be 22%. 1 This demographic transition to aging populations increases the health care burden because of multimorbidity and older adults' complex health care needs. Older adults often take several medications for chronic illnesses; however, the support ecosystem to optimize medication use in older adults is either lacking or not appropriately optimized, especially in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) regions. This region is compromised of 38 developed countries globally that aims to shape the policy constituting social, economic, and environmental challenges. 2 The aging process involves psychosocial and physiological changes that alter the body's pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. 3 That leads to drug response variation and increases the

Adherence and medication management by the elderly

Abstract: The relationship with nurses in particular is an important issue for the older people. Understanding the factors of adherence and helping people are important areas of research in nursing. The quality of this relationship may be the key to increasing adherence in this group of people.
