Abstract

Pharmaceutical care is a concept that involves identifying, solving and preventing drug-related problems, such as drug interactions, with regards to a patient's drug therapy. Cancer patients are at high risk of drug interactions due to the complex pharmacological profiles and narrow therapeutic indices of anticancer drugs. Furthermore, these patients tend to consume complementary and alternative medicines, thus predisposing them to a risk of herb-drug interactions. This can impact their adherence to anticancer therapies. Various factors are involved in medication non-adherence, such as the cost of medications and patients' beliefs about the value of their treatments. There is a need to understand the impact of non-adherence and optimize intervention strategies from a macro-, meso-, and micro-level. Chapter 1 introduces the concept of pharmaceutical care and the impact of oncology drug interactions and medication non-adherence in patients with cancer. The chapter will also provide an insight to the factors influencing medication adherence and the intervention strategies that have targeted non-adherence.

药学护理和药物依从性导论

药学保健是一个概念，涉及识别、解决和预防与药物有关的问题，如药物相互作用，涉及到患者的药物治疗。由于抗癌药物的药理特征复杂，治疗指标狭窄，癌症患者存在药物相互作用的高风险。此外，这些患者倾向于服用补充和替代药物，从而使他们容易受到草药相互作用的风险。这可能会影响他们对抗癌治疗的坚持。药物不依从性涉及各种因素，例如药物的成本和患者对其治疗价值的信念。有必要从宏观、中观和微观层面了解不依从的影响并优化干预策略。第1章介绍了药学服务的概念以及肿瘤药物相互作用和药物依从性对癌症患者的影响。本章还将提供对影响药物依从性的因素和针对不依从性的干预策略的见解。
