What you'll learn
After completing this course, health professionals will be able to:
Identify seven difficulties in empirically defining and measuring adherence in behavioral research in this domain.
Describe seven methods of measuring adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART).
Recognize three common barriers (medical and psychological) to adherence to ART.
Summarize five evidence-based intervention strategies to support adherence to ART.
Course description
Ensuring adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) is pivotal in the management of HIV patients, as consistent medication intake not only ensures the health and longevity of the patient but also plays a role in preventing further transmission. While the pharmacological aspects of HIV management are widely covered in medical curricula, there's an evident gap in training healthcare professionals to effectively nurture adherence behaviors among patients. This course delves deep into the multifaceted challenges of ART adherence, equipping participants with evidence-based strategies and interventions to foster improved medication adherence. Emphasizing a holistic and patient-centered approach, the course bridges the intersection of clinical knowledge, behavioral science, and real-world application to drive better patient outcomes.

Verified reviewI really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
