“…A number of barriers to medication adherence have been identified among ambulatory older adult populations and include memory, knowledge of medications and the corresponding disease state, concern for adverse effects, and cost . Prior publications describing barriers to medication adherence among older adults with cognitive impairment largely highlight populations with dementia and report barriers identified by caregivers, including the ability to understand prescribed directions, lack of social support, factors related to the patient‐caregiver relationship, and communication with providers …”

“…These belief systems passed down through generations are often the most resistant to change (Grewal, Bhagat, & Balneaves, ). They prevent mothers from asking for professional advice (Bunik et al., ), resulting in low adherence to medically prescribed therapies (Gaetti, Jacobson, Gazmararian, Schmotzer, & Kripalani, ; George, Munro, McCaig, & Stewart, ), and denial of an illness (Waite & Killian, ). However, acculturation also has an effect on their belief systems.…”

Purpose Complementary and alternative healthcare practices have increased substantially in the United States especially with low‐income ethnic minority mothers. These mothers often have provider mistrust, language barriers, differing health belief systems, and as a result are less likely to seek preventive health screening, access healthcare services, and use alternative remedies for their infants and children that are potentially harmful or lethal. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to examine healthcare beliefs, commonly used alternative healthcare practices, and their potential complications for infants and children. Data sources A search of CINAHL and PubMed (1980–2012) was conducted using the following terms: alternative healthcare practice, mothers’ health beliefs, cultural health beliefs, folk remedies, and infant health practices. Conclusion Given the changing U.S. population and an increasing immigrant population, examining alternative healthcare practices mothers use for their infants and children is especially important for providers in addressing healthcare for this group. Implications for practice The use of alternative healthcare practices is rarely discussed by parents with healthcare providers for fear of disapproval. When interviewing ethnic minority mothers and caregivers questions should include the use of alternative healthcare practices for infants and children and information regarding the potential dangers should be provided to them.

“…With increasing access to healthcare information through the media and the Internet, people are more aware of available options and are also demanding greater involvement in decision making. 22 It is therefore important that physicians and pharmacists encourage consumers to demonstrate active negotiating skills so that all parties can confidently build a repertoire of treatment choices consistent with goals of management. 23,24 Greater collaboration between physicians and pharmacists can also help to improve the quality of medication information provided to consumers.…”

Managing Complex Medication Regimens: Perspectives of Consumers with Osteoarthritis and Healthcare Professionals

Consumers were dissatisfied about the complexity of their medication regimens and also lacked understanding as to how to take their drugs effectively. Dedicated time should be devoted during medical consultations to facilitate verbal exchange of information about medications. Pharmacists must communicate regularly with physicians about consumers' medication needs to help preempt any problems that may arise. Instructions need to be revised through collaboration between physicians and pharmacists so that "as needed" directions provide more explicit advice about when and how to use such drugs. Future research, using large, generalizable samples, should examine trends related to consumers' experiences of symptomatic relief from chronic conditions and their understandings about medications.
