Summary: The study examined the effectiveness of an in-home electronic medication dispensing system (MDS) on improving medication adherence in older adults with chronic conditions and found that MDS can be an effective long-term solution to medication non-adherence. The intervention group using MDS showed significantly higher medication adherence compared to the control group, indicating that technology-induced intervention can lead to better consistency in medication management behavior.

Summary: The study found that lower health-related quality of life and symptoms of depression were associated with poor medication adherence in patients with heart failure, suggesting that person-centered care using patient-reported outcome measures may help identify individuals at risk for non-adherence in the future.

Summary: Medication adherence is a crucial factor in managing diseases. Our study found that chronic patients in the Makkah region are more likely to be non-adherent to their medications compared to patients in other regions. Additionally, lower monthly incomes and out-of-pocket medication expenses were significant predictors of medication non-adherence.

Summary: This review investigates the effects of eHealth interventions on medication adherence in patients with COPD or asthma. The results show mixed effects, possibly due to the type, context, and intensity of the interventions, as well as differences in the operationalization and measurement of adherence outcomes. Further research is needed to fully understand the potential of eHealth in optimizing treatment adherence for COPD and asthma.

Summary: Plaque psoriasis is associated with anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and various personality traits. This study aimed to assess hypochondriasis and personality traits in psoriasis patients using the MMPI-2. Results showed that about one third of patients with psoriasis have high scores in the MMPI-2 hypochondriasis evaluation scale, and poor individual coping resources appeared to be distinctive psychological features in a significant proportion of psoriatic patients.

Summary: This study assessed the national prevalence of low-moderate medication adherence among hypertensive individuals in Panama using data from a national health survey. The results showed that low-moderate medication adherence is common among individuals with hypertension in Panama, and the associated factors vary by gender. Factors such as residential area, education level, BMI, and medical diagnosis of anxiety/depression were associated with low-moderate medication adherence in women, while factors such as education level, smoking status, antihypertensive medication use with denial of hypertension diagnosis, and frequency of health check-ups were associated with low-moderate medication adherence in men.

Summary: The study suggests that nonadherence to injectable and oral medications for diabetes should be assessed separately, while nonadherence to medications for diabetes, blood pressure, and cholesterol should be assessed separately as well. Although separate assessments may increase response time, it could improve accuracy and facilitate conversations between providers and patients.

Summary: This study found that a low ArTH, as well as very low and high <(V)over dot> comp, are associated with worse long-term CPAP adherence in patients with CAD and OSA. Physiological traits, along with established determinants, may help predict and improve CPAP adherence.
