The Medication Experience: A Concept Analysis

This is a concept analysis of the medication experience with a focus on how it applies to the pharmaceutical care practice framework used by pharmacist practitioners. The medication experience is a vital component of pharmaceutical care practice and of patient-centered care. Although the experience of taking medication has been studied across disciplines for decades, a concept analysis of the medication experience is lacking. Rodgers’ evolutionary concept analysis method was utilized. Ovid Medline, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Sociological Abstracts and Google Scholar databases, references and hand searches were used to compile an international dataset of 66 papers published from 1982 to 2020. As a result of the available literature, the medication experience is defined as one of ambivalence and vulnerability in which the patient is actively engaged in an ongoing process or negotiation, which is pragmatic to the ways in which they live and experience life, contextualized and nuanced within the social construction of their individual realities. The concept of medication experience is an important addition to the scientific literature. The definition of medication experience from the perspective of the patient will help to better explain the concept for future research and theory development to move the discipline of pharmaceutical care practice forward.

“…The HOME-Q was developed to facilitate patient disclosure of their home medication experience issues and practices, such that responses could lead to discussions and problem-solving with the pharmacist and prescribers when necessary [ 23 ]. The revised version, HOME-Qv2, used in this study included items designed to uncover home medication experience issues, concerns, and best practices which may not yet have been adopted to expand the scope of information available to the pharmacist about their patient’s medication experience for providing guidance, education, and recommendations.…”

“…Additionally, even when asked, patients may provide socially desirable responses or avoid engaging with a pharmacist that they may not be familiar with [ 21 ], or comfortable sharing their beliefs and experiences with [ 22 ]. As pharmacies are busy and patients have a range of concerns, the Home Medication Experience Questionnaire (HOME-Q) was developed and piloted to provide patients with an opportunity to share their medication experiences for the pharmacist to use in the medication monitoring process [ 23 , 24 ]. The HOME-Q is not intended as a risk assessment tool, but rather to identify medication experience issues that may warrant a discussion with a pharmacist who may be able to offer education or engage in other problem-solving approaches.…”

The Home Medication Experience Questionnaire (HOME-Qv2) was developed to identify patient medication experience issues for pharmacist intervention. The study objectives were to (1) evaluate patient responses to the HOME-Qv2 medication experience questionnaire and (2) describe recommendations made by pharmacists in response to the identified medication experience issues and adoption of recommendations. The study sample was comprised of older adults, 55 years and above, who have one or more chronic illnesses for which they routinely take 4+ prescription medications. The HOME-Qv2 was administered to patients and a pharmacist made recommendations based on the responses. At 3 months, the research team followed up with participants via telephone, during which the HOME-Qv2 was again administered and participants shared their adoption of recommendations. Twenty-four patients completed the questionnaire, and twenty-one were available for follow-up. At 3 months, there was a significant decrease in patient self-reported HOME-Qv2 medication experience issues. There were 31 interventions/recommendations provided by the pharmacists, and 64.5% reported adopted. The HOME-Qv2 appears to facilitate patient disclosure of medication experience issues and informed targeted pharmacist recommendations.

“…The authors describe it as "a practice concept that serves to understand patients' experiences" and "medication-taking behaviors in order to meet his or her medication-related needs". Of note, several tools and measurements have been developed to quantitatively capture and assess patients' experience with medications and intervene with a systematic and structured approach [20][21][22]. As a key step in maximizing patient care and medication optimization through patient-centered PGx services, understanding elements of patient experience and medication experience that may contribute to PGx intervention development and implementation is essential.…”

As healthcare continues to embrace the concept of person- and patient-centered care, pharmacogenomics, patient experience, and medication experience will continue to play an increasingly important role in care delivery. This review highlights the intersection between these concepts and provides considerations for patient-centered medication and pharmacogenomic experiences. Elements at the patient, provider, and system level can be considered in the discussion, supporting the use of pharmacogenomics, with components of the patient and medication experience contributing to the mitigation of barriers surrounding patient use and the valuation of pharmacogenomic testing.
