ABSTRACT

Objective:

The objective of this review was to identify the practice, education and research of pharmacists in Sweden in regard to adherence to treatment.

Methods:

Medline was searched up to the end of February 2008. In addition to the Medline search performed, other available sources were also used to identify relevant articles.

Results:

No adherence-specific programs have been implemented in Swedish pharmacies. No adherence-specific courses are provided in Swedish Universities educating pharmacists. The adherence-related research has so far mainly focused on refill non-adherence, primary non-adherence and patient reported non-adherence and readiness to treatment.

Conclusions:

Adherence-related practice and education of pharmacists will probably change due to the deregulation of the pharmacy market that will take place in the near future in Sweden. Research on adherence will need to be strengthened in the sense that it has so far not been guided by adherence-related theoretical frameworks, despite the fact that there are several theories to hand that try to explain adherence (AU)
RESUMEN

Objetivo:

El objetivo de esta revisión fue identificar la práctica, educación e investigación de los farmacéuticos en Suecia en relación a la adherencia al tratamiento.

Métodos:

Se buscó en Medline a finales de febrero de 2008. Además de la búsqueda en Medline, se utilizaron otras fuentes disponibles para identificar artículos relevantes.

Resultados:

No se han implantado programas específicos de adherencia en las farmacias suecas. No se han proporcionado cursos específicos en las universidades suecas para educar a los farmacéuticos. La investigación relacionada con adherencia ha estado fundamentalmente centrada en no cumplimiento de las repeticiones de medicamentos, no cumplimiento primario y incumplimiento comunicado por el paciente y disponibilidad al tratamiento.

Conclusiones:

La práctica y la educación de farmacéuticos relacionadas con la adherencia probablemente cambien debido a la desregulación del mercado farmacéutico que tendrá lugar en Suecia en un futuro cercano. La investigación en adherencia necesitará ser reforzada ya que no se ha basado en marcos teóricos de adherencia cumplimiento, a pesar de que existen varias las teorías que intentan explicar el incumplimiento (AU)
