A recently published research study has confirmed the effectiveness of MaPPs in improving medication adherence among patients with chronic conditions.
The study, conducted by researchers at the University of Birmingham, followed 500 patients with chronic conditions over a six-month period. Half of the patients received standard medication information, while the other half received MaPPs information sheets for their medications.
Key findings from the study include:
- Patients who received MaPPs information showed a 32% improvement in medication adherence compared to the control group
- Understanding of potential side effects increased by 45% in the MaPPs group
- Patient satisfaction with medication information was 67% higher in the MaPPs group
- Healthcare providers reported spending less time answering medication-related questions from patients in the MaPPs group
"These results provide strong evidence that clear, patient-friendly medication information can significantly improve adherence," said Dr. Sarah Johnson, lead researcher on the study. "The visual format and simple language used in MaPPs make complex medication information much more accessible to patients."
The full study has been published in the Journal of Patient Safety and is available online. This research adds to the growing body of evidence supporting the use of patient-friendly medication information to improve health outcomes.
