          Abstract

          RESUMEN Fundamentos: La satisfacción con la medicación constituye una medida centrada en el paciente que ayuda a predecir la continuidad del tratamiento, su uso correcto y el cumplimiento terapéutico. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la satisfacción con el tratamiento (ST) de sujetos con hipertensión arterial (HTA), así como averiguar si el tipo de tratamiento, el estado de salud y las características personales guardan relación con el nivel de satisfacción. Sujetos y métodos: Se elaboró un estudio observacional de carácter transversal, realizado en el ámbito de la farmacia comunitaria. Fueron evaluados 484 consumidores de medicación antihipertensiva (tasa de respuesta del 81,6%). La ST fue evaluada mediante el Treatment Satisfaction with Medicines Questionnaire. Otras variables fueron la presión arterial (PA), los fármacos antihipertensivos, los efectos adversos, otros medicamentos, la comorbilidad, la salud autopercibida, el cumplimiento y las características personales. En el análisis estadístico se utilizaron pruebas de comparación de medias y de correlación para comprobar asociaciones entre el nivel de ST y las diferentes variables, considerando un nivel de significación de p<0,05. Así mismo, se construyó un modelo de regresión lineal múltiple para identificar las variables asociadas, evitando posibles factores de confusión. Resultados: En un rango entre 0 y 100, el valor medio de ST fue de 79,9 (DE=12,9; IC 95%=78,8-81,0). Se observó una débil correlación entre la puntuación en salud percibida y la ST (r=0,145; p=0,001). La ST fue superior en los sujetos con PA controlada (82,1 ±12,1 DE frente a 77,5 ±13,3 DE; p<0,001), en los tratados durante más de 5 años (83,5 ±12,8 DE frente a 78,5 ±12,6 DE; p<0,001), en los sujetos sin efectos adversos (82,5 ±11,6 DE frente a 68,7 ±11,9 DE; p<0,001) y en las clases sociales inferiores (81,2 ±12,8 DE frente a 78,5 ±12,8 DE; p=0,02). Fue inferior en los incumplidores con el tratamiento (73,2 ±12,9 frente a 82,1 ±12,1; p<0,001). Conclusiones: El nivel de ST es aceptable, a pesar del insuficiente control de las cifras de PA y a la elevada proporción de incumplimiento. La satisfacción está condicionada tanto por la efectividad como por la adherencia terapéutica, aunque también intervienen el estado de salud, el tratamiento y las características personales.

          ABSTRACT Background: Medication satisfaction is a patient-centered measure that helps predict the continuity of treatment, correct use and therapeutic compliance. The objective has been to evaluate the satisfaction with the treatment (ST) of subjects with arterial hypertension (HT) and find out if the type of treatment, the state of health and the personal characteristics are related to the satisfaction. Methods: Observational cross-sectional study conducted in the community pharmacy field. A total of 484 users of antihypertensive medication were evaluated (response rate: 81.6%). The ST was evaluated through the Treatment Satisfaction with Medicines. In the statistical analysis, means comparison and correlation tests were used to verify the existence of associations between the ST level and the different variables, considering a significance level of p<0.05. Likewise, a multiple linear regression model was constructed to identify the associated variables avoiding possible confounding factors. Results: In a range of 0-100 the mean ST value was 79.9 (SD=12.9, 95% CI= 78.8-81.0). A weak correlation was observed between perceived health score and ST (r= 0.145, p=0.001). ST was higher in subjects with controlled BP (82.1 ±12.1 SD vs 77.5 ±13.3 SD, p<0.001), in treated subjects over 5 years (83.5 ±12.8 SD vs 78.5 ±12.6 SD; p<0.001), in subjects without adverse effects (82.5 ±11.6 SD vs 68.7 ±11.9 SD; p<0.001) and in lower social classes (81.2 ±12.8 SD vs 78.5 ±12.8 SD, p=0.02). It was lower in the non-compliers with the treatment (73.2 ±12.9 vs 82.1 ±12.1, p<0.001). Conclusions: The ST level is acceptable, despite insufficient BP control and the high rate of noncompliance. Satisfaction is conditioned both by effectiveness and by therapeutic adherence, although health status, treatment and personal characteristics also intervene.

          Validation of a general measure of treatment satisfaction, the Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM), using a national panel study of chronic disease

          Background The objective of this study was to develop and psychometrically evaluate a general measure of patients' satisfaction with medication, the Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM). Methods The content and format of 55 initial questions were based on a formal conceptual framework, an extensive literature review, and the input from three patient focus groups. Patient interviews were used to select the most relevant questions for further evaluation (n = 31). The psychometric performance of items and resulting TSQM scales were examined using eight diverse patient groups (arthritis, asthma, major depression, type I diabetes, high cholesterol, hypertension, migraine, and psoriasis) recruited from a national longitudinal panel study of chronic illness (n = 567). Participants were then randomized to complete the test items using one of two alternate scaling methods (Visual Analogue vs. Likert-type). Results A factor analysis (principal component extraction with varimax rotation) of specific items revealed three factors (Eigenvalues > 1.7) explaining 75.6% of the total variance; namely Side effects (4 items, 28.4%, Cronbach's Alpha = .87), Effectiveness (3 items, 24.1%, Cronbach's Alpha = .85), and Convenience (3 items, 23.1%, Cronbach's Alpha = .87). A second factor analysis of more generally worded items yielded a Global Satisfaction scale (3 items, Eigenvalue = 2.3, 79.1%, Cronbach's Alpha = .85). The final four scales possessed good psychometric properties, with the Likert-type scaling method performing better than the VAS approach. Significant differences were found on the TSQM by the route of medication administration (oral, injectable, topical, inhalable), level of illness severity, and length of time on medication. Regression analyses using the TSQM scales accounted for 40–60% of variation in patients' ratings of their likelihood to persist with their current medication. Conclusion The TSQM is a psychometrically sound and valid measure of the major dimensions of patients' satisfaction with medication. Preliminary evidence suggests that the TSQM may also be a good predictor of patients' medication adherence across different types of medication and patient populations.

            Validation of an abbreviated Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM-9) among patients on antihypertensive medications

            Background The 14-item Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM) Version 1.4 is a reliable and valid instrument to assess patients' satisfaction with medication, providing scores on four scales – side effects, effectiveness, convenience and global satisfaction. In naturalistic studies, administering the TSQM with the side effects domain could provoke the physician to assess the presence or absence of adverse events in a way that is clinically atypical, carrying the potential to interfere with routine medical care. As a result, an abbreviated 9-item TSQM (TSQM-9), derived from the TSQM Version 1.4 but without the five items of the side effects domain was created. In this study, an interactive voice response system (IVRS)-administered TSQM-9 was psychometrically evaluated among patients taking antihypertensive medication. Methods A total of 3,387 subjects were invited to participate in the study from an online panel who self-reported taking a prescribed antihypertensive medication. The subjects were asked to complete the IVRS-administered TSQM-9 at the start of the study, along with the modified Morisky scale, and again within 7 to 14 days. Standard psychometric analyses were conducted; including Cronbach's alpha, intraclass correlation coefficients, structural equation modeling, Spearman correlation coefficients and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Results A total of 396 subjects completed all the study procedures. Approximately 50% subjects were male with a good racial/ethnic mix: 58.3% white, 18.9% black, 17.7% Hispanic and 5.1% either Asian or other. There was evidence of construct validity of the TSQM-9 based on the structural equation modeling findings of the observed data fitting the Decisional Balance Model of Treatment Satisfaction even without the side effects domain. TSQM-9 domains had high internal consistency as evident from Cronbach's alpha values of 0.84 and greater. TSQM-9 domains also demonstrated good test-retest reliability with high intraclass correlation coefficients exceeding 0.70. As expected, the TSQM-9 domains were able to differentiate between individuals who were low, medium and high compliers of medication, with moderate to high effect sizes. There was evidence of convergent validity with significant correlations with the medication adherence scale. Conclusion The IVRS-administered TSQM-9 was found to be a reliable and valid measure to assess treatment satisfaction in naturalistic study designs, in which there is potential that the administration of the side effects domain of the TSQM would interfere with routine clinical care.
