    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology and Neurology

    Background:

    • Elderly individuals with cerebrovascular disease often face challenges in medication management.
    • Proper medication adherence is crucial for managing chronic health conditions in older adults.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of trained nurse supervision on medication management in elderly patients with cerebrovascular disease.
    • To assess the effects on medication costs and adherence.

    Main Methods:

    • A controlled study involving 150 elderly participants with cerebrovascular disease.
    • One group received additional supervision from a trained nurse; a control group did not.
    • Medication containers were checked for correct labeling and adherence.

    Main Results:

    • The group receiving nurse supervision experienced a marginal reduction in medication costs.
    • The control group saw a 12.0% increase in medication costs.
    • Significantly more individuals in the nurse-supervised group had correctly labeled medication containers.

    Conclusions:

    • Trained nurse supervision can improve medication adherence and labeling in elderly patients with cerebrovascular disease.
    • This intervention may lead to cost savings in medication management for this population.
