Patient Attitudes Toward Deprescribing Among Community-Dwelling Older Mainers
Background The excess use of medications has become an increasingly prevalent issue in health care. Deprescribing can be an important tool in combating polypharmacy. Objective To assess the attitudes of community-dwelling older persons in Maine toward their medications and the concept of deprescription. An additional aim of this research was to assess the association between the revised Patient Attitudes Toward Deprescribing Questionnaire (rPATDQ) domains by polypharmacy status. Methods Researchers conducted a cross-sectional study utilizing the rPATDQ. Authors recruited older Mainers via a longitudinal cohort study through the University of New England Center for Excellence in Aging in Health. Respondents were stratified by polypharmacy status (fewer than five medications, five or more medications). Results Total daily medications ranged from 1 to 30 (average of 8.6). Overall, 83.6% of respondents agreed/strongly agreed to the statement "If my doctor said it was possible, I would be willing to stop one or more of my regular medicines." 70.6% agreed/ strongly agreed to the statement "Overall, I am satisfied with my current medicines." Those with and without polypharmacy experienced low overall medication burden and a high belief in the appropriateness of their medications. There were no statistically significant differences between polypharmacy groups. Conclusion The results of this survey indicate that the factors affecting attitudes toward deprescribing are complex. While many indicated willingness to deprescribe at least one medication, there was a high degree of satisfaction with current medication regimens. This study highlights the need for further qualitative research to identify potential barriers to deprescribing.
