What this research studies
This research investigates the challenges faced by older adults with HIV in adhering to antiretroviral therapy (ART) when transitioning from community living to nursing homes. It aims to identify both personal and nursing home-related factors that influence adherence to ART during this transition. The study employs a mixed methods approach, combining quantitative analysis of Medicare and Medicaid claims data with qualitative interviews of nursing home residents to understand their experiences and perceptions regarding medication adherence. By examining these factors, the research seeks to uncover barriers and facilitators that could improve ART adherence in nursing home settings.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are older adults living with HIV who are transitioning into nursing home care.
Not a fit: Patients who are not transitioning to nursing home care or who do not have HIV may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved adherence to HIV medication among nursing home residents, enhancing their health outcomes and quality of life.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown that understanding patient experiences and barriers can significantly improve medication adherence, suggesting that this approach may yield valuable insights.
