It considers factors such as drug dosage, frequency, route of administration, and duration of treatment. Designing an appropriate dosage regimen for a patient aims to achieve a target drug concentration at the site of action.
Typically, the starting dose and dosing interval are guided by the manufacturer's recommendations based on clinical trials conducted during and after drug...

The advent of drug therapy has profoundly shaped modern mental health care, providing targeted treatments for a range of psychological disorders. Psychotherapeutic drugs, classified into antianxiety, antidepressant, and antipsychotic medications, address symptoms across anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and schizophrenia. While these medications have transformed patient outcomes, they require careful management due to their potential side effects and limitations.

Obedience

33.2K
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,...

Drug Administration and Therapy Phases: Overview

835
Drugs, the chemical agents used in diagnosing, treating, or preventing diseases, undergo a four-phase process of development: pharmaceutic, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and therapeutic.
The pharmaceutical phase focuses on leveraging the physicochemical properties of the drug to design and manufacture an effective product. Variants include orally administered tablets or capsules, topical creams or ointments, and parenteral-delivery solutions or emulsions.
The pharmacokinetic phase...

Area of Science:

  • Health behavior interventions
  • Medication adherence research
  • Digital health and reminders

Background:

  • Accountability interventions leverage social behaviors to enhance adherence.
  • Reminders are common adherence tools, but the role of accountability within them is understudied.
  • Understanding accountability's impact is crucial for optimizing adherence strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the frequency of accountability in reminder-based adherence interventions.
  • To assess the effectiveness of accountability when combined with reminders.
  • To identify gaps in current research and practice.

Main Methods:

  • A literature review of reminder-based adherence studies was conducted.
  • Studies were classified as reminder-only or reminder with accountability.
  • Outcomes were analyzed, with electronic monitoring data compared between groups.

Main Results:

  • 165 studies met inclusion criteria; 93% used reminders alone.
  • 51% of reminder-only studies showed improved adherence.
  • Only 6.6% of studies included accountability, but 91% of these demonstrated improved adherence.

Conclusions:

  • Accountability is a distinct but compatible component for reminder-based adherence interventions.
  • Despite its effectiveness, accountability is infrequently integrated into current reminder interventions.
  • Future interventions should consider incorporating accountability to maximize patient adherence.
