Compliance, concordance and adherence: what are we talking about?
1Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust, Haemophilia Centre, London, UK.
Summary
Patient adherence to hemophilia treatment is crucial. This paper explores engaging patients in treatment planning to improve self-care and discusses tools for assessing adherence systematically.
Area of Science:
- Hematology
- Patient Care
- Treatment Adherence
Background:
- Adherence to prescribed treatment regimens is a critical and debated aspect of hemophilia care.
- Patients are often labeled 'non-adherent' based on self-treatment and factor administration practices.
- The current approach may not adequately involve patients in developing personalized treatment plans.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine the impact of patient engagement in treatment program development on self-care and treatment uptake.
- To explore the role of supportive relationships in enhancing treatment concordance.
- To discuss methods for measuring the success and outcomes of agreed-upon treatment regimens.
Main Methods:
- Discussion of patient engagement strategies in hemophilia care.
- Exploration of the link between patient-provider relationships and treatment concordance.
- Review of available tools for systematic assessment of treatment adherence.
Main Results:
- Engaging patients in developing mutually acceptable treatment programs may improve self-care and treatment uptake.
- Supportive relationships can enhance treatment concordance.
- Systematic tools are available to assess adherence.
Conclusions:
- A collaborative approach to hemophilia treatment planning is essential.
- Enhancing patient engagement and supportive relationships can lead to better treatment outcomes.
- Systematic assessment of adherence is necessary for effective hemophilia management.

Obedience

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

Cognitive Dissonance

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Types of Biopharmaceutical Studies: Controlled and Non-Controlled Approaches
627
Biopharmaceutical studies constitute a vital field aiming to enhance drug delivery methods and refine therapeutic approaches, drawing upon diverse interdisciplinary knowledge. In research methodologies, the choice between controlled and non-controlled studies significantly influences the study's reliability and accuracy.
Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast,...
