Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age

Age-related pharmacokinetic changes are extensively documented, but understanding age-related pharmacodynamic alterations is relatively limited. This knowledge gap can be partly attributed to the complexity of developing appropriate measures of drug responses compared to bioanalytical methods for determining drug concentrations.Most information regarding age-related differences in human pharmacodynamics originates from cross-sectional studies. However, these studies assume that observed mean...

Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Absorption

Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Absorption

As individuals age, their body's physiology evolves, affecting drug pharmacokinetics. The most apparent changes occur in the gastrointestinal tract, where an increase in gastric pH, a delay in gastric emptying, and a reduction in gastrointestinal motility are observed. Remarkably, these changes do not substantially modify the absorption of orally administered drugs, particularly those absorbed via passive diffusion.Transdermal drug delivery emerges as a highly viable method for older adults due...

Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model

Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model

The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.
For example, a patient with a chronic...

Drug Therapy

Drug Therapy

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.

Background:

Older adults with complex needs and polypharmacy face medication management challenges, increasing healthcare utilization.
Technology-based interventions offer potential solutions to mitigate medication-related problems in home care settings.

Purpose of the Study:

To conduct a scoping review on technology-based interventions for medication management in older adults receiving home care.
To understand the extent and type of existing evidence in this domain.

Main Methods:

Adherence to Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology for scoping reviews.
Comprehensive literature search across multiple databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, IEEE Xplore, ACM digital library, EBSCO Open Dissertations).
Inclusion of diverse study types (quantitative, qualitative, text, opinion) in all languages, focusing on older adults (≥60 years) in home care and technology for medication management.

Main Results:

Data extraction using a developed charting table.
Presentation of results through graphs, diagrams, or tables with narrative summaries.
Identification of evidence on technology application and strategies to overcome challenges in medication management.

Conclusions:

Synthesis of evidence on technology-based medication management interventions for older adults in home care.
Identification of knowledge gaps and clarification of concepts.
Recommendations for future research to enhance technology-based medication management solutions.
