To determine which formats communicate medication adherence effectively to patients.
HIV-infected adults on antiretrovirals viewed examples of refill data in 5 formats: (1) percentage of doses, (2) number of days late to refill ("days late"), (3) calendar of days with/without medications, (4) pie chart of days with/without medications, and (5) letter grade. Five scenarios (>95%, 90-95%, <90%, <80% and <70% adherence) were presented in each format. Participants rated scenarios on adherence improvement needed. "Good understanding" was ≥ 4 of 5 scenarios correct. We calculated odds ratios for "good understanding" using logistic regression with percentage as the referent format.
124 participants were median age 48.5 years, 65% Black, 71% male. Understanding of all formats differed by education (all interaction p values<0.02). For ≤ 12 years education, odds ratios (OR) of understanding (95% CI) compared to percentage were: days late 3.3 (2.3-4.7), calendar 3.1 (2.2-4.3) pie chart 2.0 (1.4-2.7), and letter grade 1.8 (1.3-2.5). For >12 years education, ORs were: days late 1.3 (0.9-2.0), calendar 2.4 (1.5-3.8), pie chart 2.9 (1.8-4.6), and letter grade 1.7 (1.1-2.6). Calendar plot was most preferred.
Adherence percentage was the least understood format regardless of education.
Calendars should be used to convey adherence information.
确定哪种形式能有效地向患者传达药物依从性。
接受抗逆转录病毒治疗的HIV感染成人观看了5种形式的续方数据示例:(1)服药剂量百分比,(2)续方延迟天数(“延迟天数”),(3)有/无药物服用的日历,(4)有/无药物服用的饼状图,以及(5)字母等级。每种形式呈现了5种情况(依从性>95%、90 - 95%、<90%、<80%和<70%)。参与者对需要改善依从性的情况进行评分。“良好理解”定义为5种情况中至少答对4种。我们使用逻辑回归计算“良好理解”的优势比,以百分比形式作为参照形式。
124名参与者的年龄中位数为48.5岁,65%为黑人,71%为男性。对所有形式的理解因教育程度而异(所有交互p值<0.02)。对于受教育年限≤12年的参与者,与百分比形式相比,理解的优势比(OR)(95%置信区间)为:延迟天数3.3(2.3 - 4.7),日历3.1(2.2 - 4.3),饼状图2.0(1.4 - 2.7),字母等级1.8(1.3 - 2.5)。对于受教育年限>12年的参与者,OR分别为:延迟天数1.3(0.9 - 2.0),日历2.4(1.5 - 3.8),饼状图2.9(1.8 - 4.6),字母等级1.7(1.1 - 2.6)。日历图最受青睐。
无论教育程度如何,依从性百分比是最不易理解的形式。
应使用日历来传达依从性信息。
