Effects of Telephone-Based Brief Motivational Interviewing on Self-Management, Medication Adherence, and Glycemic Control in Patients with Uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in a Rural Community in Thailand.
Owing to the increased prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and the high proportion of patients with uncontrolled T2DM, effective interventions for disease management are needed. ⋯ An intervention combining telephone-based brief MI with usual care significantly increased self-management, medication adherence, and glycemic control (ie, FBS) after 4 weeks, whereas usual care only significantly increased self-management. Phone-based brief MI may be an effective way for healthcare providers to remotely enhance patients' self-management and glycemic control, thus reducing barriers related to time and geographic location.

Developing a Culturally Appropriate Tool to Support Self-Care in Migrants with Type 2 Diabetes - A Co-Design Study.
Migrants, especially from the Middle East, experience poorer health outcomes and face greater difficulties in accessing healthcare compared to native populations and there is a need for culturally appropriate education for this vulnerable group. The purpose of this study is to describe the process of developing a culturally appropriate tool to support self-care in migrants with type 2 diabetes. ⋯ The Co-design process led to several important insights and experiences related to the importance of diverse cultural backgrounds. When conducting a Co-design study with end-users as stakeholders, it is significant that the stakeholders have a diverse background in experiences, both as patients as well as those who deliver or implement the health service. In this study it was of great importance to include patients with diverse backgrounds regarding; gender, age, health literacy, occupation, years living in Sweden and duration of diabetes.

Evaluation of the Knowledge and Attitude of Adolescents Regarding the HPV Infection, HPV Vaccination and Cervical Cancer in a Region from the Northwest of Romania.
In Romania, after reaching the age of 18, teenage girls can make an informed decision about vaccination. The aim of the study was to evaluate both knowledge and attitudes related to HPV infection, HPV vaccination, cervical cancer, as well as intentions, reservations, reasons that could influence the decision related to vaccination. ⋯ Alongside interventions targeting parents and health-care professionals, it is necessary to improve the level of knowledge of adolescents about HPV infection, HPV vaccination and cervical cancer, by organizing information campaigns in schools, campaigns in which professionals in the field should be involved, but also by implementing education programs addressed to them.

Barriers and Facilitators of Adherence to Oral Anticancer Medications Among Women with Breast Cancer: A Qualitative Study.
Despite the life-saving benefits of oral anticancer medications (OAMs) to women with breast cancer (BC), adherence remains suboptimal and, in many cases, not well documented. The study examined barriers and facilitators of adherence to OAMs among women receiving BC treatment in Nigeria. ⋯ Barriers and facilitators to OAM adherence are multidimensional. The study findings highlight the potential benefit of a multifaceted intervention (such as patient education and monitoring or strategies promoting cost-containment and side effects management) to optimize adherence. Therefore, our findings may inform the designing and evaluating of context-specific adherence measures and multifaceted intervention strategies targeting key barriers and approaches that enable adherence to enhance patient outcomes.

A Predictive Model for Identifying Low Medication Adherence Among Patients with Cirrhosis.
This study aims to identify the novel risk predictors of low medication adherence of cirrhosis patients in a large cohort and construct an applicable predictive model to provide clinicians with a simple and precise personalized prediction tool. ⋯ This study identified predictive factors regarding low medication adherence among patients with cirrhosis, and a predictive nomogram was constructed. This model could help clinicians identify patients with a high risk of low medication adherence and intervention measures can be taken in time.
