“…The present study demonstrated that for chronically HCV-infected patients utilizing the second-generation DAAs; this experience represented the resolution of the virus-related whole-body issues, i.e., a solution to a disturbance in the phenomenal body [29,30].

Hepatitis C is a global public health problem, and the aim of this study was to understand the experiences of patients with hepatitis C using second-generation antivirals. In-depth interviews were conducted with ten outpatients, cognitively capable of reporting their experience, followed up at a university clinic. Field diaries kept during the interviews were also used. The researchers carried out a thematic analysis to identify the ways in which individuals experienced their medication; then, these ways were reorganized to encompass the essential structures of the experience. The patients experienced the use of DAAs as providing resolution and it was permeated by: the experience of time—stagnant time, waiting for medication and the cure; the experience of spaces, understood as necessary and imposed spaces; the experience of relationships with others, personified by the support provided by healthcare professionals; the experience of sexuality, when patients developed several coping strategies to deal with the challenges imposed by the treatment. To conclude, increasing the knowledge about the patients’ experiences can contribute to improve the healthcare model for hepatitis C, since several patients have severe hepatic impairment, and the eradication of the virus is only one of the stages of patients’ treatments.

Health systems in many countries are currently undergoing an evolution towards more person-centred care. However, an overview of the literature shows that there is little or no guidance available on how to apply person-centred care to pharmaceutical care and clinical pharmacy practices. In this paper we apply a model for person-centred care created by a national multidisciplinary research centre in Gothenburg, Sweden, to the clinical work tasks of outpatient and inpatient pharmacists and describe how pharmaceutical care can become more person-centred.

Adults with multiple chronic conditions (MCCs) often face difficulties with medication management, affecting their experiences of well-being and illness. The objective of this study was to identify and describe the occupational experiences of medication management and their impact on well-being and illness in adults living with MCCs. We used document analysis methods to analyze 134 illness narrative blog posts authored by 52 adults aged 18 and older with MCCs. Content and thematic analysis of their textual content was based on the Pan Occupational Paradigm. Medication management is enacted through the dimensions of doing, belonging, becoming, being, and knowing, in an interconnected, nonlinear manner, with a more notable impact on illness than well-being due to the complexities associated with medication management for MCCs. Occupational therapy practices for medication management should consider all occupational dimensions and their impact on health rather than focusing primarily on the performance of medication tasks and routines.
