Application of Course Knowledge

Overview of the Study

Purpose:

In the US, between 50% and 80% of youngsters do not take their medications as

prescribed (Ralph et al., 2023). The study will establish if digital adherence monitoring and

motivational interviewing are superior to educational-based intervention in promoting

medication adherence among pediatric transplant recipients over six months.

Study Design:

The study utilizes a quantitative RCT design to allow the intervention and control groups

to be assessed equivalently based on objectified data.

Ethics Review:

The study was approved by an institutional review board (IRB) to ascertain compliance

with ethical requirements, that is, informed consent, confidentiality of the patients, and the safety

of the children participants.

Description of the Study

Research Question or Hypothesis:

The study postulates that e-adherence monitoring combined with motivational

interviewing will result in significantly higher levels of medication adherence than that produced

using traditional education-based strategies.

Study Aims:

Page 6 of 8 - Integrity Submission Submission ID trn:oi[Link]4520

The study aims to quantify the improvement in adherence, determine adherence barriers,

and assess patient and caregiver participation in adherence programs.

Sampling Technique, Sample Size, and Characteristics:

A randomized sampling method was applied to allocate pediatric transplant patients to

intervention and control groups. The sample was 200 patients aged 5-18 on post-transplant

medication regimens.

Major Variables Studied

Independent Variable:

The intervention included digital adherence monitoring and motivational interviewing.

Dependent Variables:

Rates of medication adherence were assessed by electronic monitoring and self-report

adherence questionnaires.

Data Analysis and Statistics:

Statistical analysis was performed via t-tests and ANOVA in order to compare the groups'

adherence rates to each other. Statistical significance used p < 0.05.

Untoward Events:

There were no serious adverse events. There were minor technical difficulties with the

tracking system.

Application to Practice

The research implies that electronic adherence monitoring with motivational interviewing

is effective in medication adherence. In practice, the strategy enhances patient outcomes, avoids

transplant rejection, and achieves long-term health. It may be within limited resources or patient

factors if relevant outcomes are not achieved.
