“…The study reported here aimed to explore older people's adherence behaviour using the theoretical domains framework (TDF) as the underpinning model of theoretical determinants of behaviour. The TDF acts as a theoretical lens through which key determinants (ie theoretical domains) of the target behaviour (ie medication adherence) can be identified for targeting with a behaviour change intervention . Key theoretical domains can then be mapped to appropriate behaviour change techniques (BCTs) .…”

BackgroundMedication adherence is vital to ensuring optimal patient outcomes, particularly amongst multimorbid older people prescribed multiple medications. Interventions targeting adherence often lack a theoretical underpinning and this may impact on effectiveness. The theoretical domains framework (TDF) of behaviour can aid intervention development by systematically identifying key determinants of medication adherence.ObjectivesThis study aimed to (i) identify determinants (barriers, facilitators) of adherence to multiple medications from older people's perspectives; (ii) identify key domains to target for behaviour change; and (iii) map key domains to intervention components [behaviour change techniques (BCTs)] that could be delivered in an intervention by community pharmacists.MethodFocus groups were conducted with older people (>65 years) receiving ≥4 medications. Questions explored the 12 domains of the TDF (eg “Knowledge,” “Emotion”). Data were analysed using the framework method and content analysis. Identification of key domains and mapping to intervention components (BCTs) followed established methods.ResultsSeven focus groups were convened (50 participants). A wide range of determinants were identified as barriers (eg forgetfulness, prioritization of medications) and facilitators (eg social support, personalized routines) of adherence to multiple medications. Eight domains were identified as key targets for behaviour change (eg “Social influences,” “Memory, attention and decision processes,” “Motivation and goals”) and mapped to 11 intervention components (BCTs) to include in an intervention [eg “Social support or encouragement (general),” “Self‐monitoring of the behaviour,” “Goal‐setting (behaviour)”].ConclusionThis study used a theoretical underpinning to identify potential intervention components (BCTs). Future work will incorporate the selected BCTs into an intervention that will undergo feasibility testing in community pharmacies.

“…For this study to constitute credibility, trustworthy, dependability, conformability, transferability initiatives like taking data from different layers of work force, members check, data display, detail presentation of data in rich description, maintain audit trail and compare congruity with other studies are taken (Merriam, 2002;Morrow, 2005;Miles, Huberman, & Saldaña, 2014). Moreover, in linking the pieces of findings with exiting knowledge, the open system theory is applied as theoretical lens (Stewart & Klein, 2016).…”

Like many other parts of the globe, in Malaysia, construction industry has a vital support to the national economy, even though statistics indicates that, at the same time, it is an extremely risky profession due to high accident rate. In addition, current evidences suggest that, in general, safety in Sarawak construction industries lack attention. As, human behavior is regarded as the principal component that contributes to accidents in this industry, this study intends to explore existing barriers in development and maintaining safety performance behavior as well as possible coping strategies. A qualitative analysis of in-depth interview (N=4) among different levels of professions within industries in Kuching, Sarawak reveals that, price sensitive subcontracting, short-term projects, irregular cash flow, dependency on larger companies, less managerial and supervisory engagement, and priority on progress alone create obstacles for safety behavior. On the other hand, possibly, the challenges can be managed through integration of safety into contracts as compliance, associated disbursement, and introducing incentives. Keywords: Construction industry in Sarawak; safety performance behavior
