Integration of Medication Management Into Occupational Therapy Practice. / Jaclyn K. Schwartz in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 71/4 (2017)

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 71/4 (2017) . - 7pp. Titre : Integration of Medication Management Into Occupational Therapy Practice. Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jaclyn K. Schwartz, Auteur ; Roger O. Smith, Auteur Année de publication : 2017 Article en page(s) : 7pp. Langues : Américain (ame) Résumé : Occupational therapy practitioners enable clients to improve performance in everyday occupations. As health care reform precipitates changes across health care service organizations, occupational therapy professionals must seize the opportunity to apply their unique skills and perspective to meet the changing needs of clients and other stakeholders. In this article, we explore the role and distinct value of occupational therapy practitioners in one area of changing need: medication management. We find that occupational therapy practitioners have unique skills that complement the factors affecting medication nonadherence and evidence-based interventions. With reforms to research, teaching, and practice, occupational therapy practitioners can better integrate medication management into regular evaluation and treatment, thereby contributing to broader patient outcomes defined by the Affordable Care Act.

Intervention Promoting Medication Adherence: A Randomized, Phase I, Small-N Study / Jaclyn K. Schwartz in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 70/6 (Novembre-décembre 2016)

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 70/6 (Novembre-décembre 2016) . - p. 7006240010p1-7006240010p11 Titre : Intervention Promoting Medication Adherence: A Randomized, Phase I, Small-N Study Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jaclyn K. Schwartz ; Roger O. Smith Année de publication : 2016 Article en page(s) : p. 7006240010p1-7006240010p11 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : medication adherence  standard of care  chronic disease Résumé : OBJECTIVE. Many people with chronic health conditions fail to take their medications as prescribed, resulting in declines in health and function. The purpose of this study was to perform a Phase I feasibility study to understand whether an integrated occupational therapy intervention could help people with chronic health conditions improve their adherence to medications. METHOD. Using a small-N design, we report single-subject analyses of the medication adherence of 11 participants before and after either an occupational therapy intervention or a standard care intervention. We used a multiple baseline approach with intersubject replication and blinding. RESULTS. The occupational therapy intervention was found to decrease performance variability and to increase medication adherence rates in some people with chronic conditions. CONCLUSION. These findings suggest that an occupational therapy intervention can improve medication adherence in people with chronic health conditions. The intervention tested in this study is feasible and would benefit from further research.
