The study purpose was to use the theory of planned behavior to understand factors influencing South Asian consumers’ intention to seek pharmacist-provided medication therapy management services (MTMS). Specific objectives were to assess effects of attitude, subjective norm (SN), perceived behavioral control (PBC), and socio-demographics on South Asian consumers’ intention to seek MTMS. Participants who were ≥18 years of age, of South Asian origin, with a previous visit to a pharmacy in the US for a health-related reason, and with ability to read and comprehend English were recruited from independent pharmacies in New York City. Responses were obtained through a self-administered survey. Descriptive statistics were performed, and multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to assess the study objective. SPSS was used for data analyses. Out of 140 responses, 133 were usable. Mean scores (standard deviation) were 4.04 (0.97) for attitude, 3.77 (0.91) for SN, 3.75 (0.93) for PBC, and 3.96 (0.94) for intention. The model explains 80.8% of variance and is a significant predictor of intention, F (14,118) = 35.488, p < 0.05. While attitude (β = 0.723, p < 0.05) and PBC (β = 0.148, p < 0.05) were significant predictors of intention, SN (β = 0.064, p = 0.395) was not. None of the socio-demographics were significant predictors of intention. Strategies to make South Asians seek MTMS should focus on creating positive attitudes and removing barriers in seeking MTMS.
本研究旨在运用计划行为理论了解南亚消费者寻求药师提供的药物治疗管理服务意向的影响因素。具体目的是评估态度、主观规范(SN)、感知行为控制(PBC)和社会人口统计学对南亚消费者寻求MTMS意愿的影响。参与者年龄≥18岁，南亚裔，之前因健康相关原因访问过美国药店，具有阅读和理解英语的能力，从纽约市的独立药店招募。回答是通过自我管理的调查获得的。采用描述性统计和多元线性回归分析来评估研究目的。采用SPSS软件进行数据分析。在140个回答中，133个是可用的。态度的平均得分为4.04分(0.97分)，SN的平均得分为3.77分(0.91分)，PBC的平均得分为3.75分(0.93分)，intention的平均得分为3.96分(0.94分)。该模型解释了80.8%的方差，是意向的显著预测因子，F (14118) = 35.488, p < 0.05。态度(β = 0.723, p < 0.05)和PBC (β = 0.148, p < 0.05)是意向的显著预测因子，SN (β = 0.064, p = 0.395)不是意向的显著预测因子。没有一个社会人口统计学是意向的显著预测因子。使南亚人寻求MTMS的战略应侧重于创造积极的态度和消除寻求MTMS的障碍。

Background: With 30-day Medicare readmission rates reaching 20%, a heightened focus has been placed on improving the transition process from hospital to home. For many institutions, this charge has identified medication-use safety as an area where pharmacists are well-positioned to improve outcomes by reducing medication therapy problems (MTPs). Methods: This system-wide (425 bed community hospital plus 18 primary care clinics) prospective study recruited inpatient and ambulatory pharmacists to provide comprehensive medication management before and after hospital discharge. The results analyzed were the success rate and timing of the inpatient to ambulatory pharmacist handoff, as well as the number, type, and severity of MTPs resolved in both settings. Results: Of the 105 eligible patients who received a pharmacist evaluation before discharge, 61 (58%) received follow-up with an ambulatory pharmacist an average of 2.88 days after discharge (range 1–8 days). An average of 5 and 1.4 MTPs per patient were identified and resolved in the inpatient vs. ambulatory setting, respectively. Although average MTP severity ratings were higher in the inpatient setting, the highest severity rating was seen most frequently in the ambulatory setting. Conclusions: In the transition from hospital to home, pharmacist evaluation in both the inpatient and ambulatory settings are necessary to resolve medication therapy problems.
