Abstract

Purpose: Individuals with mental illness experience higher mortality rates compared to those without mental illness. Medication adherence is essential for improving health outcomes; however, it remains a persistent challenge among this population. The current review examines the components, delivery methods, and modalities of patient education interventions to assess their impact on medication adherence among individuals with mental illness.

Method: A comprehensive literature search across three major databases identified five relevant studies.

Results: Three key themes emerged: (1) Patient Education Enhances Medication Adherence, (2) Disease Insight is a Critical Determinant of Adherence Behaviors, and (3) Specific Intervention Elements Influence Treatment Outcomes.

Conclusion: Findings suggest that multi-modal education delivery is the most effective approach for improving adherence. However, further research is needed to establish the most effective evidence-based educational strategies. [Journal of Psychosocial Nursing and Mental Health Services, xx(xx), xx-xx.].

患者教育促进精神疾病患者的药物依从性：一项综合综述。

目的：与没有精神疾病的人相比，精神疾病患者的死亡率更高。药物依从性对于改善健康结果至关重要；然而，这仍然是这一群体面临的一个持续挑战。本综述考察了患者教育干预措施的组成部分、实施方法和模式，以评估其对精神疾病患者服药依从性的影响。方法：在三个主要数据库中进行综合文献检索，确定了五个相关研究。结果：出现了三个关键主题：(1)患者教育提高药物依从性；(2)疾病洞察力是依从性行为的关键决定因素；(3)特定干预因素影响治疗结果。结论：研究结果表明，多模式教育是提高依从性的最有效方法。然而，要建立最有效的循证教育策略，还需要进一步的研究。[社会心理护理与精神卫生服务杂志，xx(xx), xx-xx.]
