Abstract

Background Adherence to CF treatments is poor, which can lead to negative health outcomes. The objective of our study was to qualitatively investigate the barriers and facilitators of self-management among older adolescents and adults with CF.Methods Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted, audio-taped, transcribed verbatim and coded to identify common themes.Results Twenty-five patients were interviewed. Four broad themes were identified: Barriers to Self-Management (e.g., treatment burden (identified by 64% of patients), accidental or purposeful forgetting (60%), no perceived benefit (56%)), Facilitators of Self-Management (e.g., CF clinic visits (76%), social support (68%), perceived benefit (68%)), Substitution of Alternative Approaches to Conventional Management (36%) and Planned Non-adherence (32%).Conclusions Older adolescents and adults with CF identified many barriers and facilitators of adherence that may be amenable to self-management counseling strategies, particularly the use of health feedback.

  • Although forgetting is often understood to be 'unintentional' non-adherence, it may be given as a reason to justify 'intentional' non-adherence (Arden 2019; Drabble 2019; George 2010), in a more socially acceptable way (Drabble 2019).

  • Previous studies have commonly reported reasons for non-adherence including being too busy, forgetting, and treatment burden.

    “Previous studies have attempted to understand the factors influencing adherence to treatments in people with CF, and commonly reported reasons include being too busy or not having the time to take treatments, forgetting to take a treatment, and the level of treatment burden (Bregnballe 2011;Dziuban 2010;George 2010;Modi 2006a;Sawicki 2015).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
