The home medicines review (HMR) is an important tool for promoting a model of patient-centred care. This article seeks pa-tients' perspectives on understanding, and perceived benefits and difficulties of HMRs.
A qualitative study based on semi-structured interviews of adult participants who completed an HMR was undertaken in Black-town, a growing, multicultural suburb in Western Sydney. The medical centre is a large general practice offering comprehensive, integrated care. Fifteen participants consented to be interviewed. There was even representation of men and women, and the majority had completed high school.
Three major areas were explored: understanding and expectation of an HMR, perceived patient benefits and difficulties.
The HMR has the potential to be a useful tool in patients' management of their medications. There are clear benefits when per-formed well. However, we have identified areas of limitations in effectiveness, which present opportunities for strengthening the HMR process. Training of doctors and pharmacists may be needed to ensure better patient outcomes.
家庭药物审查（HMR）是促进以患者为中心的护理模式的重要工具。本文旨在探讨患者对家庭药物审查的理解、感知到的益处和困难。
在悉尼西部一个不断发展的多元文化郊区布莱克敦，对完成家庭药物审查的成年参与者进行了基于半结构化访谈的定性研究。该医疗中心是一家提供全面综合护理的大型全科诊所。15名参与者同意接受访谈。男女比例均衡，大多数人完成了高中学业。
探讨了三个主要方面：对家庭药物审查的理解和期望、患者感知到的益处和困难。
家庭药物审查有可能成为患者管理药物的有用工具。如果执行得当，会有明显益处。然而，我们已经确定了有效性方面的局限性领域，这为加强家庭药物审查流程提供了机会。可能需要对医生和药剂师进行培训，以确保为患者带来更好的结果。
