    Effectiveness of educational intervention to improve adherence to oral medication in cancer patients
    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2020-10-11) Pedraza Ascue, Edith; Pedraza Ascue, Edith; Mori Castro, Jaime Alberto
    This work aims to systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of educational interventions to improve oral medication adherence in oncology patients. Recently, oral cancer agents are becoming increasingly part of treatment regimens, with many new agents only available in oral form. Of the 10 articles reviewed, 70% are systematic reviews, and 30% are of moderate quality. 100% indicate that educational interventions are effective in improving oral medication adherence in oncology patients. This evidence demonstrates how adherence to oral cancer treatments has been enhanced. Previously, patients had to visit specialized centers for medical-nursing support in medication administration, but now these treatments can be performed at home, nursing homes, etc. Additionally, oral cancer agents are often more manageable and convenient for patients. This paradigm shift in adherence to oral cancer treatments implies greater responsibility for healthcare teams and family support.
