Communication networks of medication management in an ambulatory care setting
Systems approaches in healthcare address complexities of care related to medication safety. Adverse drug events can be prevented by communication between providers. Thus, methods that depict the structures and processes of communications are foundational for prevention efforts. Social network analysis is a methodology applied in healthcare settings to describe and quantify communication patterns. Knowledge of the structures and processes surrounding medication management communications will be useful to explain and intervene on related quality or safety outcomes.

Integration of clinical pharmacy services into the Brazlian health system using Problematization with Marques Arc
Clinical pharmacy services (CPS) have been evolving worldwide. However, it is estimated that CPS are not yet integrated into the Brazilian healthcare system. Thus, the objective of this study is to identify factors that influence the integration of CPS into the healthcare system and propose strategies for this integration.

Educational intervention to enhance adherence to short-term use of antibiotics
Non-adherence to short-term antibiotics is considered to be one of the factors leading to medicines wastage, and this can increase misuse of medicine taking, promote antibiotic resistance and cause environmental pollution. Interventions developed to enhance adherence to short-term antibiotics should be easily implementable into daily practice. No studies utilising Normalization Process Theory to develop interventions aiming to enhance adherence to antibiotics were identified. (Source: Research in Social and Administrative Pharmacy)

How patients should be counseled on adverse drug reactions: Avoiding the nocebo effect
In clinical practice we are required to inform patients of medication response rates and adverse drug reactions.1 Providing information about treatment for patients if not done properly could yield adverse consequences, even if it is entirely out of well meaning to improve the outcome of treatment. This phenomenon is namely the “nocebo effect”2 which is not rare in psychiatry. It even has a negative impact on the relationship between doctors and patients.

Beliefs influencing community pharmacists' interventions with chronic kidney disease patients: A theory-based qualitative study
Drug-related problems (DRPs) are highly prevalent in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Community pharmacists are ideally positioned to manage these DRPs. However, little is known about the factors influencing their interventions with CKD patients. (Source: Research in Social and Administrative Pharmacy)

Modifiable risk factors for prescription medicine sharing behaviours
Depending on the circumstances, non-recreational, prescription medicine sharing can have positive or negative consequences. An online survey of adults was conducted to examine the extent and underlying behavioural factors predicting prescription medicine sharing behaviours. Using principal component analysis and multivariate regression analysis, several modifiable risk factors for medicine lending and borrowing behaviours were identified. The findings expand the current knowledge of medicine sharing predictors and can be used to inform the development of interventions to address problems associated with medicine sharing pr...

Modifiable risk factors for medicine sharing behaviours
Prescription medicine sharing has been defined as giving one's own medicine to someone else (lending) or taking someone else's medicine (borrowing). Medicines can be shared for non-medical purposes (recreational sharing or drug abuse) or for their intended therapeutic benefits (non-recreational sharing, e.g. sharing antibiotics to self-treat); the latter is the focus of this research. Limited research evidence is available about modifiable risk factors for non-recreational sharing and addressing this issue was the main aim of this research.
