Abstract

Medication management is a complex task, in which unintentional errors can have serious adverse effects. Occupational therapy practitioners can play a preventive role in this process but currently are limited in their involvement. Therefore, this qualitative study sought to better understand occupational therapy practitioners' current practices in medication management and thereby determine specific ways to increase the occupational therapy practitioner role. Twenty participants were interviewed, and verbatim transcripts were analyzed using the six-step process by Kiger and Varpio (2020). Three major themes emerged: (1) educational needs of occupational therapists, (2) educational needs of the client/caregiver, and (3) practitioner desire for standardization. Some practitioners are adept in their engagement in medication management, but there is a need for more didactic training and increased continuing education on medication management to promote the important role of occupational therapy in medication management.

了解药物管理教育的必要性:一项定性分析。
药物管理是一项复杂的任务,其中无意的错误可能会产生严重的不良影响。职业治疗从业者可以在这一过程中发挥预防作用,但目前他们的参与有限。因此,本定性研究旨在更好地了解职业治疗从业者目前在药物管理方面的做法,从而确定提高职业治疗从业者作用的具体方法。对20名参与者进行了访谈,并使用Kiger和Varpio(2020)的六步流程对逐字记录进行了分析。出现了三个主要主题:(1)职业治疗师的教育需求,(2)来访者/照顾者的教育需求,以及(3)从业者对标准化的渴望。一些从业人员在从事药物管理方面很熟练,但需要更多的教学培训和药物管理方面的继续教育,以促进职业治疗在药物管理中的重要作用。
