The Source of Purchased Medications and Its Impact on Medication Mistakes and Hospitalizations.
Older adults self-administer prescribed medication regimens to treat chronic diseases, which can lead to mismanagement, medication-related harm, and hospitalization. Using the National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS) dataset, we examined the extent to which the medication source could impact the occurrence of self-reported medication mistakes and hospitalizations in community-dwelling adults aged ≥65 years who managed medications independently (N = 3,899). The majority (65%) picked up medications, 18% had medications delivered, and 17% used both methods. Compared to those picking up their medications, those using delivery only were less likely to have a hospital stay (odds ratio [OR] = 0.61, 95% confidence interval [CI] [0.51, 0.94]) but had no difference in odds of medication mistakes (OR = 1.13, 95% CI [0.57, 2.23]). Those using both methods were more likely to report hospital stays (OR = 1.43, 95% CI [1.11, 1.85]) and medication mistakes (OR = 1.65, 95% CI [1.00, 2.73]). Health care providers should consider medication source when assessing older adults' ability to safely self-manage medications. [Research in Gerontological Nursing, 15(2), 69-75.].
期刊介绍:
Research in Gerontological Nursing is a forum for disseminating peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary, cutting-edge gerontological nursing research and theory to investigators, educators, academicians, clinicians, and policymakers involved with older adults in all health care settings. The Journal accepts manuscripts reporting research, theory, integrative and systematic reviews, instrument development, and research methods with the aims of improving the wellness and quality of care of the older adult population. Theory papers should advance gerontological knowledge, and integrative reviews should provide an analysis of the state of the science and provide direction for future research.
