Drug Therapy

39
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.

Mobile health (M-health) interventions significantly improved medication adherence for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). This digital health approach enhanced patient outcomes by ensuring timely medication intake.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Digital Health
  • Infectious Disease Management

Background:

  • Medication adherence is critical for managing HIV/AIDS.
  • Mobile health (M-health) offers potential solutions for improving adherence.
  • Non-adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) can lead to treatment failure and drug resistance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of M-health interventions on medication time adherence.
  • To compare adherence rates between M-health intervention and standard care groups.
  • To assess the impact of M-health on people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA).

Main Methods:

  • A comparative study involving two hospitals: Federal University Teaching Hospital Owerri (FUTH) and Imo State Specialist Hospital (ISSH).
PLWHA
  • The test group (FUTH) received 2-way text messages thrice weekly and a weekly phone call.
  • The control group (ISSH) received standard care only.

    • Main Results:

    • Significantly higher medication time adherence was observed in the M-health intervention group (test group) compared to the control group.
    • Statistical analysis showed a significant difference (P=0.000, χ²=168.62, 95% CI: 7.22 to 16.19).
    • The M-health intervention demonstrated a positive impact on adherence rates.

    Conclusions:

    • M-health interventions are effective in improving medication time adherence among PLWHA.
    • The study supports the integration of digital health tools in HIV/AIDS care.
    • M-health strategies can enhance patient engagement and treatment outcomes.
