Patient Participation in Medication Safety for Noncommunicable Diseases: A Qualitative Study of General Practitioners, Pharmacists, and Outpatients' Perspectives in Beijing.
Our study aimed to explore the current status of patient participation in medication safety from the perspectives of general practitioners (GPs), pharmacists, and outpatients in Beijing, China. ⋯ This exploratory study contributes to our initial understanding of patient participation in medication safety.

Does All Social Support Work? Examining the Mechanisms of Patient-Reported Symptom Interference after Esophagectomy Affecting Life Satisfaction.

Of these, resilience may be more critical in terms of the utilization of social resources than family support.
