An Intervention to Promote Medication Understanding and Use Self-Efficacy: Design of Video Narratives for Aging Patients at Risk of Recurrent Stroke (Preprint)

Abstract

Background and Objectives: The debilitating effects of recurrent stroke among aging patients have urged researchers to explore medication adherence among these patients. Video narratives built upon Health Belief Model (HBM) constructs have displayed potential impact on medication adherence adding a plus-point to patient education efforts. However, its effect on medication understanding and use self-efficacy have not been tested. The researchers believed that culturally sensitive video narratives which catered specific niche would reveal a personalized impact on medication adherence. This study aimed to develop and validate video narratives for this purpose.
