Acceptability Of The Medication Adherence For Patients Support Intervention To Improve Adherence To Patients Prescribed Medications For Hypertension Or Comorbidities, As An Adjunct To Primary Care: A Qualitative Study
JOURNAL OF HEALTH PSYCHOLOGY(2021)
Abstract
Tailored interventions delivered via text and voice messages can improve adherence to multiple medications. However, no such intervention has been developed in the UK primary-care setting. We conducted focus groups with 12 patients with hypertension, type 2 diabetes, or both conditions, presumed to be non-adherent and recruited from deprived neighborhoods, to assess the acceptability and inform the development of an intervention to provide ongoing support for adherence, as an adjunct to primary-care consultations. Patients recommended ways to improve the tailored content and delivery of the intervention; like highly interactive messages to report both medication taking and determinants of medication adherence.
