Abstract

Over the years, psychotropic drugs have been prescribed for symptoms of anxiety and/or insomnia. Elderly women are especially at risk of chronic use and ensuing side-effects. We examined psychosocial processes associated with long-term psychotropic drug use. We conducted in-depth interviews with 21 frail elderly women in a home care program and 14 of their primary caregivers. Results yielded a descriptive model of chronic use that takes into account antecedents of use, initial and subsequent prescription processes, individual contextual circumstances, the effect of the social context, and the women's cognitive strategies employed to make prolonged use coherent with their self-image.

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.
