Key Findings

This review demonstrates that medication use remains a significant issue among older adults in OECD countries. Several studies have identified medication use issues in older adults, such as a high incidence of adverse drug events and nonadherence to medication, inappropriate medication, polypharmacy, a lack of deprescribing, medication beliefs, and a lack of knowledge and awareness about medication use. Despite these issues, there appears to be a lack of interventions for older adults' medication use problems, particularly at the primary care level.

Telemedicine is a viable option for assisting doctors and other care managers in providing effective care to hypertensive patients and optimizing their management. The available evidence supports its use in patients with difficult-to-treat hypertension or who are noncompliance with medication management. 

While families actively engaged in strategies to ensure safe medication management with older patients, communication about medication plans of care across transitions tended to be haphazard and disorganized, and there was a lack of shared decision-making between families and health professionals. 

This review demonstrates the variety and complexity of approaches tested to address HTN and DM in LMICs, as well as the elements of interventions that must be addressed in order to strengthen care delivery. Most studies provided little information about implementation processes, making replication difficult. 

Recommendations 

There is a need to have effective interventions in the primary care to address the issue of medication use problems.  

More scientific evidence is required to demonstrate the efficacy of telemedicine in other specific subgroups, in addition to effective blood pressure control.

More research is needed to assess the efficacy of these strategies in terms of medication outcomes, to facilitate shared decision making between families and health professionals, and to clarify medication plans of care across transitions.

Study designs and evaluation techniques must be modified to include process evaluations rather than just effectiveness or outcome evaluations. 

Explanation of How the Article Supports EBP/Capstone Project 

The study is important for the capstone project since it reveals that medication usage issues in older adults require a comprehensive approach and a collaborative effort from healthcare providers and healthcare institutions hence a successful effort in promoting medication adherence.

The study is important for the capstone project as it reveals about the importance of telemedicine as it allows patients and healthcare professionals to exchange medical data over the Internet. It is used to improve patients’ access to care and to provide effective remote healthcare services. This helps in the promotion of medication adherence at home.

The study is important for the capstone study as it reveals the role played by family members in the management of older patients’ medications.  

The study is important for the capstone project as it recommends some of the interventions to be in place to help in strengthening the delivery of healthcare.

Research Questions (Qualitative)/Hypothesis (Quantitative) 

What is the level of digital acceptance by the population?

What is the impact of video-based mHealth program for homebound older adults?

What are the perceived barriers to the HT medication adherence.  

What are the causes of medication non-adherence and the acceptability of support strategies for individuals with hypertension in Uganda? 

Purposes/Aim of Study 

To understand whether and how digital healthcare technologies are absorbed in Africa.

The goal of this study is to move away from the current reactive, cure-oriented approach and toward a preventive and health-promoting model, empowering homebound older adults to take an active role in their health, be responsive to their care needs, and thus improve their overall health.

To identify perceived barriers to adherence to HT medication in Dar es Salaam

This research had two objectives. First, the researchers wanted to know what factors help or hinder patients' efforts to stick to their hypertension medications at the start. Second, the purpose of this study was to investigate the acceptability and feasibility of adherence interventions for both providers and patients. 

Design (Type of Quantitative, or Type of Qualitative) 

Systematic review  

Pilot Randomized control trial

Qualitative study grounded theory principles.  

 Qualitative study performed to explore the beliefs of the participants concerning the medication non-adherence as the researcher examined the acceptability of support approaches validated in same context.

5 community centers.  

 Catchment areas of the two semi-urban clinic in Dar es Salam.

Study performed in a large, urban private hospital in Kampala, Uganda. Fifteen healthcare providers and forty-two patients were interviewed

Acceptance of the digital health technologies 

Video-based mHealth program for homebound older adults

Perspectives on adherence with hypertensive medications.

Looking into the causes of non-adherence and the acceptability of support approaches for individuals with hypertension.

The KIIs were written down, coded, and analyzed. For both KIIs and FGDs, coding was completed in a systematic manner with iterative review by a research team member, with consultation of a second member on any arbitrary statements.

The transcripts of the interviews were analyzed using the NVIVO software.

Key Findings

 Digital health technologies hold great promise for addressing major clinical and public health backlogs and strengthening Ethiopia's health systems. Although they are a relatively new phenomenon in Ethiopia, their potential to improve clinical and public health practices is clear.

The current study will contribute to the body of knowledge about using mHealth in conjunction with a health-social team to improve quality of life and self-care and meet the needs of these especially vulnerable older adults. 

Several context-specific measures will be required for effective management of hypertensive patients for medication adherence. These include policy measures addressing financial access, such as medication subsidies for the poor and easily accessible distribution systems for medication refills; physician measures to improve health provider counseling for patient-centered care; and patient-level strategies with medication adherence reminders in low-resource settings.

Participants made connections between these interventions and previously unknown non-adherence drivers, such as the absence of symptoms from untreated hypertension, fear of medication side effects, interest in traditional herbal medicine, and the importance of family and community support.
