The findings from the instruments used in this study and the additional qualitative data of the personal interviews provide information helpful to the nurse's understanding of medication knowledge and compliance patterns in older persons. Investigations that study older persons over time are needed to identify how behaviors change. Such studies would also be helpful in identifying self-care behaviors learned over extended periods of time. It may also be helpful to investigate knowledge and compliance behaviors in the home setting, where the environment may be more conducive to learning. With the patient assuming more and more responsibility for self-care, it is imperative that professionals explore all opportunities to assist patients in acquiring the skills essential to promoting their own well-being.
本研究中所使用工具的研究结果以及个人访谈的额外定性数据，为护士理解老年人的用药知识和依从模式提供了有用信息。需要对老年人进行长期研究，以确定行为是如何变化的。此类研究也有助于识别长期习得的自我护理行为。在家庭环境中进行知识和依从行为的调查可能也会有所帮助，因为家庭环境可能更有利于学习。随着患者在自我护理方面承担越来越多的责任，专业人员必须探索所有机会来帮助患者掌握促进自身健康所必需的技能。
