“…Previous research has also found that health professionals are perceived to be an authoritative source of information on medicines, including NSAIDs, 208 especially among older people. 209 By contrast, users of vitamins, minerals, and other supplements reported that family and friends, rather than health professionals, were the single most influential source of information and advice, despite a willingness to discuss supplements with doctors; that the risks associated with these supplements were perceived to be comparatively limited, in return for some perceived benefit; and that the perceived effect of supplements could be both therapeutic and prophylactic. The risks and benefits associated with these supplements, in contrast to NSAIDs, were less exact, however: participants had a sense of 'feeling better', rather than reporting specific, symptom-based or condition-based outcomes.…”

HTA NIHR Health Technology Assessment programmeT he Health Technology Assessment (HTA) programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care. The research findings from the HTA programme directly influence decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC). HTA findings also help to improve the quality of clinical practice in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service'. The HTA programme is needs led in that it fills gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. There are three routes to the start of project...

“…Trust and the research process Like others who have studied older people, we found that they were relatively trusting and accepting of their general practitioners' advice and decisions about their health care. 20 In our study, the advice of general practitioners played an important role in the type of medication used. We also found a high level of trust in both the general practitioner and the trial process.…”

Objective To explore the factors that influence older people's decision making regarding use of topical or oral ibuprofen for their knee pain. Design Qualitative interview study nested within a randomised controlled trial and a patient preference study that compared advice to use oral or topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for knee pain in older people. Setting 11 general practices. Participants 30 people aged ≥50 with knee pain. Results Participants' decision making was influenced by their perceptions of the associated risk of adverse effects, presence of other illness, nature of their pain, advice received, and practicality. Although participants' understanding of how the medications worked was sometimes poor their decision making about the use of NSAIDs seemed logical and appropriate. Participants' model for treatment was to use topical NSAIDs for mild, local, and transient pain and oral NSAIDs for moderate to severe, generalised, and constant pain (in the absence of other more serious illness or risk of adverse effects). Participants showed marked tolerance and normalisation of adverse effects. Conclusion Participants had clear ideas about the appropriate use of oral and topical NSAIDs. Taking such views into account when prescribing may improve adherence, judgment of efficacy, and the doctor-patient relationship. Tolerance and normalisation of adverse effects in these patients indicate that closer monitoring of older people who use NSAIDs might be needed.

“…This measure was developed for this study and based on previous research on health care (e.g., Hervé, Mullet, & Sorum, 2004; Marcell & Halpern-Felsher, 2005; Wills & Moore, 1996). These scenarios included concerns with respect to physical health, psychological or mental health, and social health.…”

The current study examined whether dispositional gratitude predicts physical health among adults, and if so, whether this relationship occurs because grateful individuals lead healthier lives, either psychologically or physically. Specifically, we examined whether psychological health, healthy activities, and willingness to seek help for health concerns mediated the link between gratitude and self-reported physical health, as well as if these mediational pathways are moderated by age, in a broad sample of Swiss adults (N = 962, Mage = 52 years, age range: 19 to 84). Dispositional gratitude correlated positively with self-reported physical health, and this link was mediated by psychological health, healthy activities, and willingness to seek help for health concerns. However, the indirect effects for psychological health and healthy activities were stronger for older than younger adults. In other words, the mechanisms explaining why gratitude predicts health appear to differ across adulthood.
