  1. Medication Adherence in Heart Failure University of Central Florida Tessa Dillon

  2. Background Description • Heart failure is a cardiac dysfunction that limits tissue perfusion • Medical management includes • Medication therapy and daily weights • Dietary and fluid restrictions • Noncompliance is factor in hospital readmission rates over 40% (Hodges, 2009) • Education performed in hospitals is not adequate

  3. Statement of Clinical Problem • Patients with heart failure have complex medication regimens, with high incidence of readmission related to exacerbation of symptoms. • Nursing assessment and education protocols must be implemented to increase medication adherence and reduce readmission rates.

  4. Significance • American Heart Association states • the risk of HF for men and women over age 80 is 20% • a 40-year-old man has a lifetime risk of one in five for developing HF (Lloyd-Jones et al., 2009) • Estimated direct and indirect costs approximately $37.2 billion (Lloyd-Jones et al.) • Studies show improved medication adherence and quality of life because of: • assessing barriers • identifying self-care deficits • applying evidence based treatment guidelines (Kirk, 2007; Kfoury et al., 2008; MacInnes, 2008; Wu, Moser, Chung, & Lennie, 2008; )

  5. Specific Aims • Medication adherence practices improved through education and self-evaluation • Efficacy expectancies • to influence patient’s medication adherence • goal of increasing compliance • Outcomes expected • decrease in readmission rates • better medication adherence

  6. Theory • from Bandura’s social cognitive theory • self-efficacy is an element of self-reflection • offers a link between a person’s actions and their perceptions of self (Jeng & Braun, 1994) • middle range theory used to assist patients to optimal autonomous health • two main concepts of this theory, efficacy expectation and outcome expectations (Bandura, 2004) • Self-management a system to promote lifestyle changes necessary to reduce symptoms of disease (Bandura)

  7. Application of Theory • Patients require close monitoring and adjustment of medications to maintain health • Nurses improve adherence and quality of life • education programs • assessing for barriers • assess the readiness of the client and/or their family • provide appropriate teaching • Appropriate referrals to home health agencies • that early patient support boosts patients’ confidence (Rogers & Schott, 2008)

  8. Summary and Conclusion • Hospital readmission for acute failure linked to medication compliance • Research supports increase adherence to restrictions and medication regime related to reduction in mortality and morbidity • Self-efficacy theory uses the knowledge patients will influence their care with decisions they make • Nursing education protocols based on self-efficacy • increase compliance, • lead to improvements in quality of life for patients • reduce strain on the healthcare system • improve outcomes for patients living with heart failure.
