Abstract

A prospective, controlled, crossover study on drug compliance was initiated in 22 elderly patients from a geriatric clinic. Half of the patients received their pills from a commercially prepared calendar mealtime blister-pak; the remaining patients received their medication from standard pill bottles. At the end of three months the two groups were crossed over. Pill count and issuance of a new drug supply were done monthly to assess compliance. It was found that the average noncompliance index was significantly decreased (9.17 to 2.04) with the blister-pak packaging system. The relationship of age, Folstein mini-mental status, overcompliance, frequency of dosing interval, and living situation were also explored.

摘要

一项针对22名老年病诊所老年患者的药物依从性前瞻性、对照、交叉研究启动。一半患者从商业制备的按用餐时间排列的日历式泡罩包装中获取药丸；其余患者从标准药瓶中获取药物。三个月结束时，两组进行交叉。每月进行药丸计数并发放新药供应以评估依从性。结果发现，使用泡罩包装系统时，平均不依从指数显著降低（从9.17降至2.04）。还探讨了年龄、福尔斯坦简易精神状态、过度依从、给药间隔频率和生活状况之间的关系。
