Medication Lists and Brown Bag Reviews: Potential Positive and Negative Impacts on XXXX Beliefs about Their Medicine.

@entity1 @entity6542 @entity2383
Introduction. Medication lists and @entity2383 ( @entity2383 ) including "brown bag reviews" (BBR) are important instruments for medication safety. The aim of this study was to explore whether @entity1 ' use of a medication list is associated with their beliefs about their medicine and their memory of @entity2383 . Methods. Baseline data of 344 @entity1 enrolled into the "Polypharmacy in Multimorbid @entity1 study" were analysed. Linear regression models were calculated for the "specific necessity subscale" (SNS) and the "specific concerns subscale" ( @entity6542 ) of the German "Beliefs About Medicine Questionnaire," including self-developed variables assessing @entity1 ' use of a medication list, their memory of @entity2383 , and sociodemographic data. Results. 62.8% (n = 216) remembered an appointment for @entity2383 and 32.0% (n = 110) BBR. The SNS correlated positively with regular receipt of a medication list (b = 0.286, p < 0.01) and negatively with memory of a BBR (b = -0.268; p < 0.01). The @entity6542 correlated positively with memory of a BBR (b = 0.160, p = 0.02) and negatively with the comprehensiveness of the mediation list (b = -0.224; p < 0.01). Conclusions. A comprehensive medication list may reduce @entity1 ' concerns and increase the perceived necessity of their medication. A potential negative impact of BBR on @entity1 ' beliefs about their medicine should be considered and quality standards for @entity2383 developed.
