Analysis of current status and influencing factors of participation in medication safety behaviors among older adult patients with chronic co-morbidities: based on the COM-B model

Chinese older adult patients with chronic disease comorbidity demonstrate moderate participation in medication safety behaviors. Education level, drug concerns, disease knowledge level, health literacy, medication belief, family function, and social network are key determinants influencing medication safety behaviors among this population. The COM-B model provides a framework for explaining low participation in medication safety behaviors among older adult patients with chronic disease comorbidities and guides the development of targeted health intervention strategies.
