Medication adherence is poor among pediatric cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, with adolescents having one of the lowest adherence rates. We wanted to identify an adherence intervention that would be acceptable to CF adolescents and assess its feasibility. We surveyed 40 adolescents with CF and asked about barriers to and motivators for their own adherence and to generate ideas for potential adherence interventions. Since most of the respondents chose frequent spirometry at home and medication reminders for interventions, we selected 5 subjects, 10 to 14 years of age, with CF to test the feasibility of home spirometry and medication reminders in pediatric CF patients. This article summarizes the results of both the survey and the feasibility pilot study.
儿科囊性纤维化（CF）患者的药物依从性较差，青少年的依从率是最低的之一。我们希望确定一种CF青少年能够接受的依从性干预措施，并评估其可行性。我们对40名CF青少年进行了调查，询问他们自身依从性的障碍和动机，并征集潜在依从性干预措施的想法。由于大多数受访者选择在家中频繁进行肺活量测定和药物提醒作为干预措施，我们挑选了5名年龄在10至14岁的CF受试者，来测试在家中进行肺活量测定和药物提醒对儿科CF患者的可行性。本文总结了调查结果和可行性初步研究的结果。
