Assessment of Medication Adherence in Ccu Admitted Patients
Official Summary
This study aims to assess medication adherence and the appropriateness of prescribed medications among patients admitted to the Coronary Care Unit (CCU). The study will use the Medication Appropriateness Index (MAI) to evaluate the suitability of prescribed medications and the Beliefs about Medicines Questionnaire (BMQ) to assess patients' beliefs and perceptions regarding their medications. Understanding medication adherence and related beliefs may help identify factors associated with inappropriate medication use and non-adherence in hospitalized cardiac patients. The findings of this study may contribute to improving medication management and patient care in the CCU setting.
