Prescription medication management by both healthcare providers and patients describe struggles not to inflict harm and encourage safe use in the context of culture and social relationships. Risk vs benefit assessments conducted in these contexts are essential for understanding how medication-taking decisions are made. Qualitatively-based Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) are critical to understanding how medication pathways are navigated by both healthcare providers and patients seeking relief from maladies. Qualitative PROs have the potential to improve understanding of social and cultural factors that impact patient decision making whether to take a drug at all and would also serve to support developing models of patient-centered care.
医疗服务提供者和患者都在努力描述处方药管理，既要避免造成伤害，又要在文化和社会关系背景下鼓励安全使用。在这些背景下进行的风险与效益评估对于理解药物使用决策的制定至关重要。基于定性的患者报告结局（PROs）对于理解医疗服务提供者和患者在寻求疾病缓解的过程中如何选择药物途径至关重要。定性的 PROs 有可能提高对影响患者决策是否使用药物的社会和文化因素的理解，也有助于支持发展以患者为中心的护理模式。
