Patient Behavior When Prescribed Non-Affordable Drugs in University Hospitals of Alexandria, Egypt

This study investigates the impact of drug costs on patient behavior, specifically cost-related non-adherence (CRN), and the role of better Doctor-Patient Interaction (DPI) in minimizing it. The study aims to identify cost-reducing strategies, examine factors affecting CRN prevalence, and pinpoint the best DPI methods that minimize CRN.

  2. 528 Agenda

  3. 528 Study Aims 1 1 To Identify cost-reducing strategies, including Cost related non adherence (CRN). To Understand how are these strategies employed by chronically-ill patients presenting to Alexandria University Hospitals. 2 3 3 To Examinefactors affecting prevalence of CRN. To Exploreimpact of better Doctor Patient Interaction (DPI) on CRN. 4 To Pinpoint the best DPI methods that minimized CRN. 5

  4. 528 Problem Statement (1/3) • Inadequate doctor–patient interaction regarding drug costs (DPI) is a major factor in CRN. We investigate the impact of drug costs on patients’ behavior, most notably CRN, and DPI’s role in minimizing it. • Increasing drug costs is a constant challenge to health care delivery, and patients respond in turn by employing various cost-reducing strategies. Cost-related non-adherence (CRN) is the main strategy described • A careful analysis of these factors should allow better interventional recommendations tailored to each community. 1.
