Abstract
CANTILLANA-SUAREZ, María de Gracia; MANZANO-GARCIA, Mercedes; ROBUSTILLO-CORTES, María de las Aguas and MORILLO-VERDUGO, Ramón. Evaluation of HIV+ patients experience with pharmaceutical care based on AMO-methodology. Farm Hosp. [online]. 2018, vol.42, n.5, pp.200-203. ISSN 2171-8695. https://dx.doi.org/10.7399/fh.10947.
Objective:
To evaluate the experience of HIV+ patients with pharmaceutical care based on the ability-motivation-opportunity methodology.
Method:
Cross-sectional, unicentric study. The participants included were HIV+ patients attended during November-2016 and to whom the IEXPAC questionnaire was conducted. This validated questionnaire allows to know the experience of chronic patients about the health care they receive.
Results:
91 patients were included. The overall mean score of the IEXPAC questionnaire was: 9.7 ± 0,3. The items that obtained higher scores were: respect lifestyle (9.9 ± 0.5); coordination to offer good care (9.9 ± 0.5); helping to continue treatment (9.9 ± 0.4); making sure that I take medication (9.9 ± 0.4); worried about well-being (9.9 ± 0.4). The points with the possibility of improvements included: worried about me when I get home after being in hospital (8.7 ± 1.2).
Conclusions:
The evaluation of the pharmaceutical care process based on the ability-motivation-opportunity model achieve a high level in each of the identified points of interaction.
