NURS 6630 Week 3: Concepts in Assessing Medication Adherence and Strategies to Mitigate Non-Adherence

NURS 6630 Week 3: Concepts in Assessing Medication Adherence and Strategies to Mitigate Non-Adherence NURS 6630 Week 3: Concepts in Assessing Medication Adherence and Strategies to Mitigate Non-AdherencePoor adherence to psychiatric treatments is a widespread clinical problem that negatively impacts rates of treatment response and remission. While empirically-supported treatments are available for many psychiatric disorders, these treatments are not universally effective. Patients commonly face difficulties in taking prescribed psychotropic medications or attending psychotherapy sessions as recommended, and therefore may not achieve optimal outcomes.—Traeger, L., Brennan, M. M., & Herman, J. B. (2016, p. 20)This week, you will explore how medication adherence can impact a patient’s success with treatment. You will examine the epidemiology of adherence, the impact of non-adherence from a clinical and economic viewpoint, risk factors for non-adherence, assessing adherence, and integrating adherence into a treatment plan. You will also complete a Quiz to test your understanding of this module’s content.ORDER A PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPER HEREReference:Traeger, L., Brennan, M. M., & Herman, J. B. (2016). Treatment adherence.
