“…33 34 35 These findings coincide with other findings showing that shaping the patients' beliefs related to medications and educating them can strongly influence the patients' adherence to treatment. 54 55 Thus, we conclude that technologies should be able to educate patients on how and why they should adhere to treatments to raise their awareness of the importance of complying with their medication and treatment regimens. In addition, the findings showed that personalization, gamification, and motivation were factors that impacted the success of the used technologies.…”

Background People with memory disorders have difficulty adhering to treatments. With technological advances, it remains important to investigate the potential of health information technology (HIT) in supporting medication adherence among them. Objectives This review investigates the role of HIT in supporting adherence to medication and therapies among patients with memory issues. It also captures the factors that impact technology adherence interventions. Methods We searched the literature for relevant publications published until March 15, 2023, using technology to support adherence among patients with memory issues (dementia, Alzheimer's, amnesia, mild cognitive impairment, memory loss, etc.). The review was reported following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. We conducted a quality assessment of the papers following the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. Results Fifteen studies were included after carefully reviewing the 3,773 articles in the search. Methodological quality, as appraised, ranged from 80 to 100% with eight studies rated 100%. The studies overall did not have a high risk of bias. Thus, all of the 15 studies were included. Technologies investigated were classified into four groups based on their impact: therapeutic patient education, simplifying treatment regimens, early follow-up visits and short-term treatment goals, and reminder programs. Different technologies were used (automatic drug dispensers or boxes, mobile health-based interventions, game-based interventions, e-health-based interventions, patient portals, and virtual reality). The factors impacting patients' adherence to technology-based treatment and medication were clustered into human–computer interaction and integration challenges. Conclusion This study contributes to the literature by classifying the technologies that supported medication adherence among patients with memory issues in four groups. It also explores and presents the possible limitations of existing solutions to drive future research in supporting care for people with memory disorders.

“…The better way to ensure someone takes their medicine as prescribed is to achieve a partnership-based education on adherence [ 45 ]. Education is more effective when it is consumer centred and follows a shared decision-making between consumers and healthcare providers to decide the best way to obtain the desired treatment outcome [ 46 ]. Improved information provision and behavioural support focused specifically on medication adherence have shown higher rates of adherence in various clinical conditions such as glaucoma [ 47 ] and rheumatoid arthritis [ 48 ].…”

Using the Behaviour Change Wheel and modified Delphi method to identify behavioural change techniques for improving adherence to smoking cessation medications

et al. 2023

Background Medication adherence is a crucial component of the pharmacological treatment of smoking. Previous interventions targeted to improve adherence to smoking cessation medications (SCMs) were designed using pragmatic approaches. This study aims to develop a comprehensive intervention strategy to improve adherence to SCMs using the Behaviour Change Wheel (BCW) and a modified Delphi method. Methods Recommendations for the design of intervention strategies were based on the BCW guide and six studies conducted by the research team. Factors related to healthcare providers and consumers (person making a quit attempt) that showed associations with adherence were mapped into the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation, Behaviour (COM-B) model, and corresponding intervention functions and policy categories. Interventions were then represented using the Behaviour Change Technique Taxonomy. Finally, a modified Delphi study using 17 experts was conducted to evaluate the nominated strategies using the Acceptability, Practicability, Effectiveness, Affordability, Side-effects, and Equity (APEASE) criteria. Results Following a stepped approach, an adherence support wheel was designed to guide implementation strategies and programmes. Thirteen intervention strategies were selected. The selected interventions include providing detailed instructions on how to use SCMs; establishing realistic expectations from SCMs; and providing training for healthcare providers regarding comprehensive smoking cessation care with specifics on the provision of adherence support. Conclusion The BCW guide and a modified Delphi were applied successfully to design interventions tailored to improve adherence to SCMs. Improving adherence to SCMs requires a comprehensive intervention approach involving various stakeholders. Future research is needed to assess the effectiveness of the nominated intervention strategies.

“…Esto resulta relevante ya que la validación de materiales psicoeducativos ha sido un área poco documentada, sin embargo, se debe considerar su importancia, pues éstos fungen como un medio para que los pacientes accedan a información clave sobre su enfermedad y tratamiento, son elementos complementarios de la atención con el clínico y ofrecen información y recomendaciones estándar a problemas de salud en cualquier momento, sobre todo en contextos en los que resulta difícil contar con la disponibilidad de un profesional especializado del que se pueda obtener información actualizada y basada en evidencia (Driever & Brand, 2020;Kucukarslan, 2016;Miles et al, 2020;Navarro-Rubio et al, 2019); tal y como ocurre en el sistema de salud público de México que tiene una alta demanda, que afecta la atención a pacientes incluido el tiempo que se invierte en explicar la enfermedad y el tratamiento (Secretaria de Salud, 2015).…”

“…Desde la lógica de los modelos expuestos, un cambio en las percepciones sobre la enfermedad derivados de intervenciones estructuradas con base en las dimensiones de los modelos MSC/MNP) generaría resultados favorables en las conductas de adherencia y el control del asma, esto debido a que la educación estaría organizada con base en la teoría, en un modelo de cambio conductual y orientada a los factores modificables que explican la falta de adherencia al tratamiento y el control de la enfermedad en estos pacientes (Driever & Brand, 2020;Foot et al, 2019;Horne et al, 2019;Kucukarslan, 2016).…”

Los programas educativos son abordajes idóneos para mejorar la adherencia al tratamiento y el control del asma, por ejemplo, materiales informativos para pacientes, que idealmente deben estar basados en evidencia y construidos para mejorar la educación para la salud. El propósito del trabajo fue validar por expertos y analizar el nivel de legibilidad de un manual psicoeducativo para favorecer conductas de adherencia y control de la enfermedad en adultos con asma. El manual fue evaluado por 9 jueces expertos en asma y psicología de la salud, se analizó la validez de contenido con el índice de Osterlind y la dificultad de lectura con el índice INFLESZ. El manual obtuvo una excelente evaluación de su contenido con un índice de Osterlind de 0.98 y en el análisis de dificultad de lectura obtuvo una puntuación de 67.74, evidencia de un material muy fácil de leer. Los hallazgos muestran la importancia de construir materiales educativos basados en evidencia e indicadores estadísticos. Se garantiza que los pacientes con asma tendrán acceso a un material de calidad y fácil comprensión.
