Inhaled Medications

803
Inhaled medications are crucial for managing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. They are essential for effective treatment and control, ensuring optimal respiratory health and well-being. Inhaled medication delivers drugs directly to the lungs, providing a rapid onset of action and reducing systemic side effects compared to oral or injectable medications. Three primary types of inhalation devices are used to administer these medications: nebulizers, metered-dose inhalers...

Pericarditis III: Medical Management

360
The primary objectives of managing pericarditis are to determine the underlying cause, provide effective therapy for treatment and symptom relief, and promptly detect signs and symptoms of cardiac tamponade. The following outlines the essential aspects of medical management for pericarditis:ObjectivesDetermine the Cause: Identifying the underlying cause of pericarditis is crucial for targeted treatment. Causes include viral infections, autoimmune diseases, post-cardiac injury syndrome, and...

Mitral Stenosis III: Medical Management

302
Mitral stenosis, a condition marked by the narrowing of the mitral valve, necessitates an integrated approach for effective management. This approach includes preventative measures, medical therapy, and surgical interventions to reduce symptoms and prevent complications.PreventionPrevention of mitral stenosis primarily focuses on reducing the incidence of bacterial infections, particularly streptococcal infections, which can lead to rheumatic fever and subsequent valvular damage. Timely...

Area of Science:

  • Geriatric Psychiatry
  • Psychopharmacology
  • Patient Adherence Research

Background:

  • Older adults receiving psychiatric services often face challenges with medication management.
  • Understanding medication and adherence is crucial for effective psychiatric treatment in later life.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate medication knowledge and adherence in older psychiatric patients.
  • To identify factors influencing medication knowledge and adherence in this population.

Main Methods:

  • A convenience sample of 24 psychiatric outpatients aged 65+ was assessed.
  • A questionnaire evaluated knowledge of medication names and reasons for prescription.
  • Adherence rates were measured and compared based on diagnosis, age, and regimen complexity.

Main Results:

  • Median recall of medication names was 60%; 25% reported adherence issues.
  • Patients with dementia struggled with full medication recall.
  • Older patients (78+) and those on >6 medications showed lower knowledge and adherence.

Conclusions:

  • Ongoing patient education regarding medications, especially prescription rationale, is essential.
  • Older adults and those with complex medication regimens are at increased risk for adherence problems.
