Managing medication in very old age: A qualitative study among Faroese nonagenarians

In addition to personal strategies, ADD services helped the participants manage medications in daily living. However, user involvement and regular counselling with their doctors appeared to be insufficient and, in some cases, absent. This study points to the necessity of strengthening user involvement by providing sufficient and regular counselling about medication between healthcare providers and people of very old age.

Abstract

In addition to personal strategies, ADD services helped the participants manage medications in daily living. However, user involvement and regular counselling with their doctors appeared to be insufficient and, in some cases, absent. This study points to the necessity of strengthening user involvement by providing sufficient and regular counselling about medication between healthcare providers and people of very old age.
