This document discusses medication adherence and factors that influence a patient's compliance. It defines medication adherence as a patient following their provider's recommendations on timing, dosage, and frequency of medication. Non-adherence can be caused by socioeconomic factors, healthcare system issues, therapy complexity, a patient's condition, or individual patient factors. The document outlines the pharmacist's role in educating patients and monitoring adherence through direct methods like drug testing or indirect methods like patient surveys. Pharmacists can improve adherence by simplifying regimens, addressing side effects, and enhancing patient-provider communication.

Introduction: Medication adherence is defined by the World Health Organisation as “The degree to which the person's behaviour corresponds with the agreed recommendations from a health care provider
Factor Affecting Non-Adherance:Poor adherence or non-adherence to medical treatment severely compromises patient outcomes and increases patient mortality.
Non-adherence is a very common phenomenon in all patients with drug-taking behaviour.
The complexity of adherence is the result of an interplay of a range of factors, including patient views and attributes, illness characteristics, social contexts, access, and service issues.
Non-adherence: Non-adherence is the failure or refusal to comply with advice and can imply disobedience on the part of patient

Behavioural Factors:

Biological factors:

Have you received enough information? Satisfaction with the last visit?

Severity of the complaints (Baseline) quality of life,
Locus of control about patient adherence:

Lack of sufficient knowledge about their health problems and medications cause of patients’ non-adherence to their pharmaco-therapeutic regimens and monitoring plans so pharmacist need to have skills and knowledge to improve patient adherence and reduce medication-related problems

Navigating Challenges: Mental Health, Legislation, and the Prison System in B...Guillermo Rivera
This conference will delve into the intricate intersections between mental health, legal frameworks, and the prison system in Bolivia. It aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current challenges faced by mental health professionals working within the legislative and correctional landscapes. Topics of discussion will include the prevalence and impact of mental health issues among the incarcerated population, the effectiveness of existing mental health policies and legislation, and potential reforms to enhance the mental health support system within prisons.
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

2. INTRODUCTION
Medication Adherence:
The patient’s conformance with the provider’s
recommendation with respect to timing, dosage and
frequency of medication-taking during the prescribed
length of time.
It is a factors that determines the therapeutic out comes,
in a patient suffering from chronic illness/diseases.
Compliance:
How well the patient follows the instruction of when and
how to take the medication
Persistence:
Duration of time patient takes medication, from initiation
to discontinuation of therapy 2
3. CAUSES OF MEDICATION NON-ADHERENCE
Socio-economic
Poor socioeconomic status, illiteracy, unemployment
Lack of family or social support
lack of financial resources
Busy work schedules
High cost of medication
Health care system related
Relationship of doctor-patient
Poor or lack of proper communication regarding the
beneficial effect of taking medication, instructions for
use and side effects
Poor medication distribution
3
4. Therapy related
Complexity of medical regimens,
duration of treatments
Lack of immediate benefit of therapy and treatment
interferes with lifestyle
Condition related
Severity of symptoms (chronic illness requires long
term drugs administration OR few or no symptoms)
Patient related
Impairments such as visual, hearing and cognitive
impairments and swallowing problems
Lack of motivation, apprehension about possible
adverse side effects
Stress, anxiety 4
5. PHARMACISTS ROLE IN MEDICATION ADHERENCE
Pharmacists can improve medication
adherence because they can actually show
the medication to the patient and relate any information
to the medication itself.
Educate patients regarding medication adherence
Pharmacists can impart the information that patients
need to know such as-
Name and purpose of the drug,
When and how to take the medication,
Possible side effects, Precautions, Interaction with
food or other drugs,
Duration of therapy,
Action to take if a dose is missed etc.

6. A pharmacist can advice to prescribers on the
simplification of drug regimens and reinforcing factors
which may contribute towards medication non-
adherence.
A pharmacists can assess the
patient’s knowledge of their
drug therapy and usual medication
habits
The pharmacists can also assess the patient’s ability to
comprehend and recall information, and if an adverse
drug reaction may discourage medication adherence. 6
7. Strategies to improve the pharmacist-patient
relationship:
Be friendly and approachable to the patient.
Improve communication skills.
Take into account the spiritual and psychological needs
of the patient.
Improving patient education.
Give clear explanation.
Check the patient understanding.
Simplify the therapeutic regimes.
Monitor the side effects.
Monitor the beneficial effects.
Speak the same language of patient.
Involvement of patient treatment discussion.

8. MONITORING OF MEDICATION ADHERENCE
Assessment, quantification,
measurement and evaluation
of adherence
Direct and Indirect methods
The direct measurement includes –
drug monitoring
detection of the drug or its metabolites in biological
fluid
direct observation therapy
Most accurate methods of adherence measurement
but are expensive 8
9. The Indirect measurement includes –
self reports,
pill counts,
rates of prescription refills,
assessment of the patient’s clinical response
measurement of physiologic markers as well as
patient diaries
