The elderly are more likely to have chronic medical conditions that require multiple drug therapies. Purposes of this study are to reveal necessity of elderly patient education by pharmacists, and to induce appropriate policy. We carried out literature research. Taking several drugs together increases risk of drug interactions and adverse reactions. We suggest that pharmacists have the legal authority to monitor prescription for efficient drug management, pharmacovigilance system be efficiently operated, and medication education fee be provided to allow pharmacists give more time to the elderly.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze published studies on medication adherence in Korea. Methods: The studies were identified and data were collected from Oct. to Nov. 2014 through the RISS, KISS, NDSL, and Nanet websites. Key words including medication adherence and medication compliance were used. A total of 37 published studies were reviewed using criteria developed by researchers. Results: Studies published and associated with adherence have increased since 2010. Several instruments have be enused to date however, there is no critical standard regarding medication adherence. In addition, various interventions are available and have positive effects but the main concept is also deferent with adherence and compliance. Conclusion: There sults show that research related to adherence has actively increased. How ever there are various concepts, method sand standard. Therefore more studies are required in the future for development of a unified concept, methods and standards for adherence for future.

우리나라는 최근 의료기술의 발달로 고령화 사회에 진입하여 만성 질환을 가진 노인의 수가 증가하고 있다. 이에 건강보조식품과 만성질환의약품을 복합하여 복용하는 노인들의 약물부작용이 다수 발생하고 있다. 이러한 부작용을 해결하기위해 노인만성질환자들이 복용하는 의약품과 건강보조식품의 상호작용 양상을 알아보고 해결방안을 모색해야할 필요성이 있다. 본 연구는 현재 만성질환의약품과 건강보조식품의 부작용이 일어나고 있는 5가지를 지정하여 노인들이 쉽게 알아볼 수 있도록 표시해주는 그림문자를 개발하였다. 건강보조식품과 만성질환의약품간의 상호작용에 대한 적극적인 복약지도와 그림문자를 통해 만성질환 노인환자의 부작용 발생을 예방함으로써 보다 안전하고 효과적인 의약품 사용이 가능해 질 것으로 기대된다.

This study was to identify factors influencing drug compliance based on the subjects' interview regarding community pharmacy utilization for 2 weeks, in 2005 KNHANES. Good compliance was regarded as important factors in improving the effectiveness and minimizing adverse drug reaction, resulting in reducing the medical costs. 83% of total 11,208 pharmacy visits in 7,066 subjects showed good compliance. Good satisfaction for pharmacist's medication counseling (OR=2.23, 95% CI 1.92-2.58), higher out-of-pocket money (OR=1.32, 95% CI 1.14-1.54), and users of prescription drugs than non-prescription (OR=2.21, 95% CI 1.91-2.57) drugs were significant factors for better compliance. Disease of nervous system and mental and behavioral disorders showed lower drug compliance.

Medication adherence is a basic and important element in diabetes management, and it has been known the adherence rate should be keep over 80% to get positive result in diabetes management. In order to increase medication adherence, there have been smart phone apps that record medication, exercise, and diet. However, diabetes patients are generally over 50s, and most of them do not use smart phones. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a medication adherence help system that support both smart phone apps and feature phone SMS. Furthermore, we introduce system architecture for the system. Our work will help ICT-based diabetic management system developers to consider some issues for mobile based diabetic management systems..

Depressive disorder is a chronic disabling condition with recurrent episodes. Medication noncompliance is a significant problem for effective management of depressive disorder. However, compliance with antidepressant medication is poor. There are difficulties in assessing compliance accurately. Various methods for assessing compliance are in use. A patient's compliance with antidepressant may be affected by many factors including the clinical characteristics of depression, pharmacologic properties of antidepressants, patients' characteristics, accessibility treatment, and doctor-patient relationships. For enhancing the treatment compliance, psychotherapeutic considerations in patient-therapist relationship are needed.

It is common that geriatric patients are on several medications at the same time. With this situation on hand, this study has collected prescriptions of individual geriatric patient and investigated possible drug interactions. In order to minimize the drug interactions and protect those patients from adverse reactions of medication, the gradual implementation and management of the medication history of each individual patient, the establishment of medication counseling system on medicines particularly in need of obligatory advice, the use of an inspection system on drug interactions at the time of prescription, and the implementation of a patient monitoring system on the drugs with narrow margin of safety at hospitals.

The effects of characteristics of community pharmacists on consultation time for prescription (RX) and nonprescription drugs (nRX) were investigated. A crosssectional descriptive design was established with a self-administered anonymous mail survey. Response rate was 52%. Significant pharmacists' factors related to having less than 3 minutes consultation for RX were one's dispensing duties exceeding 50%, low satisfaction with one's own level of consultation, working at the pharmacies nearby clinics, or shorter duration of consultation time for nRX. Consultation promoting conditions should be built up for the provision of sufficient consultation.

전문의약품은 의약품안전사용서비스(DUR)를 이용하여 병원에서 처방받은 약에서 부작용이 나타났을 때 기록하고 다음에 약을 처방받을 때 부작용이 나타난 약과 비슷한 계열의 약은 처방받지 않는다. 하지만 일반의약품은 약 구매 기록조차 남지 않아 어떤 약을 언제 처방받았는지 모르고 부작용을 관리할 수 없어 불편함을 겪는다. 이 연구를 통해 제안하는 어플은 처방내역과 복약관리, 약 추천, 약국 찾기로 구성된다. 일반의약품을 처방받은 날짜와 시간, 증상, 효과, 부작용에 대하여 기록하며, 기록을 분석하여 증상에 대한 약을 추천함으로써 치료 효과를 높일 수 있다. 환자가 스스로 투약에 관심을 가지고 기록을 관리함으로써 환자가 주체가 되어 질병을 개선할 수 있다.

Objective: This study aimed to empirically evaluate the effectiveness of chronic disease management services utilizing ICT for patients with chronic illnesses. Methods: From May to December, 2023, 452 people who were diagnosed with hypertension and diabetes at 9 participating public health centers were provided with customized health care services for 24 weeks, and 15 performance indicators were analyzed to evaluate their effectiveness. Results: Health behavior indicators and health risk factors decreased before and after participation in the project, blood pressure control rate, hypertension and diabetes management rate, medication compliance, weight, BMI, BP, WC, FBG, and HDL-cholesterol improved(p<0.001). Service factors that influence the improvement of health behaviors included the number of activity monitor transmissions(p=0.049), confirmed concentrated consultations on physical activity(p=0.003) and nutrition(p=0.005), and the adherence to medication missions for hypertension(p=0.020). As for service factors influencing chronic disease management, the improvement in blood pressure regulation rate was due to the number of times the blood pressure monitor was linked(p=0.004), and the number of confirmed intensive consultations on physical activity(p=0.026), and nutrition(p=0.049); the improvement in hypertension control rate was due to the number of times the activity monitor and blood pressure monitor were linked(p<0.001), and the number of hypertension medication missions carried out (p=0.004); and the improvement in diabetes control rate was due to the number of times the blood pressure monitor(p=0.022) and blood sugar system were linked(p=0.017). Conclusion: Although this study has limitations as a comparative study before and after the service, it has proved that chronic disease management using ICT has a positive effect on improvement of health behavior indicator, reduction of health risk factors, hypertension, diabetes management index, weight, BMI, TG, BP, FBG improvement.
