The Effect of Self-Administration of Medication During Hospitalization on Patient's Self-Efficacy and Medication Adherence After Discharge.
The effect of self-administration of medication (SAM), in which capable hospitalized patients administer medication themselves on medication self-efficacy is inconclusive. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of SAM on medication self-efficacy, adherence and patient satisfaction. ⋯ In this orthopedic population with high medication self-efficacy scores at discharge, SAM did not affect patients' medication self-efficacy nor medication adherence after hospitalization. Most patients preferred SAM. Additional studies should focus on the effect of SAM in other patient populations.

Discriminating Low to High Adherent Type 2 Patients with Diabetes by Glycosylated Hemoglobin A1c, Eating Self-Efficacy and Other Psychosocial Determinants: Difference Between Patient and Physician Adherence Models.
Develop individual discriminant models using clinical and psychosocial variables for physicians and patients with diabetes based on their perceptions of patient adherence. ⋯ This research confirmed that patients and physicians perceived and judged patients' adherence behaviors differently. Physicians and patients associated different clinical and psychological factors with low and high adherence. Further research is recommended to clarify how the quality of the physician-patient as well as the patient-spouse relationship affect dietary efficacy and patient adherence. A randomized, controlled clinical trial approach is recommended to establish the effectiveness of interventions aiming to improve dietary self-efficacy on adherence outcomes.

Development of an Electronic Tool to Assess Patient Preferences in Geriatric Polypharmacy (PolyPref).
Medical decision-making in older adults with multiple chronic conditions and polypharmacy should include the individual patient's treatment preferences. We developed and pilot-tested an electronic instrument (PolyPref) to elicit patient preferences in geriatric polypharmacy. ⋯ Preference assessment with PolyPref was feasible in older adults with multiple chronic conditions and polypharmacy, offering a new strategy for the standardized evaluation of patient priorities in geriatric pharmacotherapy.

The Impact of Age and Sex Concordance Between Patients and Physicians on Medication Adherence: A Population-Based Study.
Age or sex concordance (same sex or same age range) may also be associated with medication adherence but was not fully investigated. We aim to quantify the impact of age and sex concordance on optimal adherence to statin medications. ⋯ Age and sex concordance were not statistically significant predictors of optimal statin adherence. However, a weak association was detected for sex concordance. Future studies should examine this factor in different health care settings.

Trust in the Doctor-Patient Relationship in Chinese Public Hospitals: Evidence for Hope.
Trust is an essential component in a successful health care relationship. Doctor-patient trust involves the subjects of both sides, including the direction of patients' trust in physicians (patients' perception) and physicians' trust in patients (physicians' perception). This study aims to assess the status quo and explore suggestions for improving trust between doctors and patients. ⋯ In spite of recent negative press reports, there remains a high degree of trust between patients and doctors in Beijing. Despite this, one should not be complacent. We need to explore the root cause of the trust between doctors and patients from a deeper perspective to promote better medical services to meet the health needs of patients.
