背景
很少有人注意到患者对药物的看法，这种想法很可能与理解不坚持用药有关。
目标
这项定性研究旨在描述全科医生人群的药物观念和自我报告的服药依从性。
方法
对来自两个普通诊所的30名成年患者(参与者和非参与者)进行了半结构化访谈。
结果
从分析中得出的主要主题是：对药物的感知特性；对药物的取向，即患者对服药或不服药的总体偏好；以及药物的实际使用。数据显示，一方面，许多人认为服药是理所当然的，另一方面，患者对药物有许多恐惧和强烈的负面形象。
结论
对个别患者建议的治疗是否适当的任何评估都应包括对他或她的喜好、对药物的取向和社会背景的探索。
BACKGROUND
Little attention has been paid to patients' ideas about medicines and such ideas might well have relevance for understanding non-adherence to medication.
AIM
This qualitative study set out to describe the ideas about medicines and the self-reported adherence to medication of a general practice population.
METHOD
Semistructured interviews were conducted with 30 adult patients (attenders and non-attenders) from two general practices.
RESULTS
The main themes emerging from the analysis were: perceived properties of medicines; orientation towards medicines, that is, patients' general preference for taking or not taking medication; and actual usage of medicines. The data revealed that on the one hand much medicine taking was taken for granted and on the other hand that patients had many fears and powerful negative images of medicines.
CONCLUSION
Any assessment of the appropriateness of a proposed treatment for an individual patient should include an exploration of his or her preferences, orientation towards medicines and social context.
