A Survey of Potentially Modifiable Patient-Level Factors Associated with Self-Report and Objectively Measured Adherence to Adjuvant Endocrine Therapies After Breast Cancer.
Despite the efficacy of adjuvant endocrine therapy (AET) in reducing breast cancer recurrence and mortality, suboptimal AET adherence is common and hence an important clinical issue among breast cancer survivors. Delineating potentially modifiable patient-level factors associated with AET adherence may support the development of successful adherence-enhancing interventions. ⋯ Side effects, reactions to side effects, and self-efficacy may represent modifiable targets through which AET adherence can be improved. Associations between potentially modifiable factors and adherence did not vary by AET type, despite distinct side-effect profiles.

Optimal Antihypertensive Medication Adherence Reduces the Effect of Ambient Temperature on Intracerebral Hemorrhage Occurrence: A Case-Crossover Study.
The role of antihypertensive medication adherence in reducing the effect of ambient temperature (TEM) on intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) pathogenesis is unclear. We aimed to study the influence of ambient TEM on the ICH occurrence in hypertensive patients with different medication adherence. ⋯ Our results indicate that OMA to antihypertensive drugs reduces the influence of ambient TEM on ICH occurrence in hypertensive patients.

Prevalence and Influencing Factors of Medical Dissatisfaction Experiences in Chinese Hospitals: A Cross-Sectional Study.
To explore the influencing factors of medical dissatisfaction experiences from the perspectives of patients, and provide corresponding strategies for its prevention. ⋯ Health education and media reports and social relationships, as antecedent variables, have an indirect effect on inducing the medical dissatisfaction experiences of patients. In addition, patients' social recognition was an intermediate variable in inducing the medical dissatisfaction of patients.

Exploring Patients' Attitudes Toward Deprescribing and Their Perception of Pharmacist Involvement in a European Country: A Cross-Sectional Study.
To explore how adult patients perceive deprescribing in a country with developing pharmaceutical care. ⋯ This study showed the patient's willingness for deprescription as well as their positive attitude towards pharmacists being involved in the process. Results favour transition to a patient-centred care and shared-decision making model.
