Psychotropic Medication Use in the Pediatric Cancer Population

Ward, Mary Whitney 11 November 2010 (has links)
Psychotropic medications commonly used with children have been associated with side effects significant enough to warrant warnings from the Food and Drug Administration. The risks of these side effects are potentially increased in children who are long-term survivors of childhood cancer because of damage to the heart and central nervous system (CNS) due to chemotherapy and radiation therapy. There are few empirical studies addressing whether children treated for cancer have greater exposure to psychotropic medications than the general population, the reasons for use of psychotropic medications in cancer survivors, or whether risks associated with cancer treatment are considered when psychotropic medications are used. The specific aims of this study were: (1) to examine the prevalence of psychotropic medication use among children treated for cancer, (2) to obtain descriptive data regarding variables associated with medication usage, and (3) to develop a model to predict which children are likely to be prescribed psychotropic medication. A cross-sectional sample of 69 children, ages two to 17 years, who were undergoing treatment or had successfully completed treatment for leukemia/lymphoma, central nervous system (CNS) tumors, or other non-CNS related cancers were recruited. Caregivers completed measures of psychosocial functioning, medication use, and developmental history. Medical history was also obtained. Results indicated that 15% of subjects were taking psychotropic medication, specifically stimulants and antidepressants. The Classification and Regression Trees (CART) algorithm was used to develop a predictive model. Results indicated gender, age, and presence of school difficulty explained a total of 46% of the variance in psychotropic medication use in the pediatric cancer population; children treated for cancer who were male, age 10 or older and had reported school difficulty were more likely to be prescribed psychotropic medication. No cancer variables were found to influence psychotropic medication use. Several limitations likely influenced results including limited sample size, inclusion of multiple diseases in the non-CNS involved solid tumor diagnosis group, and recruitment limited to three sites. Results indicate a need for continuous examination of psychotropic medication use and possible side effects in the childhood cancer population.

The interrelationship between spirituality and psychiatric medication use : a hermeneutic phenomenological study

Vanderpot, Lynne Esther January 2015 (has links)
This thesis explores the perceived relationship between spirituality and psychiatric medication use in individuals living with severe mental health problems. The biological approach to mental health treatment is the dominant paradigm of care across the Western world, which justifies the use of psychopharmacology as a first-line therapy. In the last 30 years, the steady rise in the use of prescription medications has generated much debate and controversy. Historically, much of what we know about psychiatric medication comes from professionals and experts. Comparatively little is known about the perspectives of service users. There is also strong evidence to suggest that religion and spirituality are playing a growing role in addressing mental health problems. Both spirituality and psychiatric medication are known to mediate the processes of wellness and recovery, yet it is not well understood how their interactions may impact upon recovery. The intention of this thesis was to explore this unknown area. The methodology used in this thesis was hermeneutic phenomenology. A purposive sample of twenty people who self-identified as spiritual and/or religious, and were or had in the past taken psychiatric medication participated. Data were collected via in-depth, unstructured interviews, and analysed using a modified approach, based on the works of other researchers. The key finding in this study is that people experienced a multiplicity of interactions between spirituality and psychiatric medication which significantly impacted treatment outcomes, in both positive and negative ways. The overall findings of this research highlights the need for greater awareness of spirituality as a nonpharmacological factor which can impact upon drug treatment outcomes.

Intervention to improve the level of documentation of antipsychotic related adverse drug reactions

Purcell, Gregory Mark January 2014 (has links)
Antipsychotic drugs are the mainstay of treatment for psychotic disorders according to the Standard Treatment Guidelines (2012). However, these drugs are associated with multiple severe adverse drug reactions. In order to limit the effect of adverse drug reactions on patient care, documentation is necessary. Documentation of adverse drug reactions entails recording the reaction experienced, as well as supplementary information. Proper documentation can prevent future occurrences of the same or similar adverse drug reactions. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of an educational intervention targeting increasing documentation of the adverse effects of antipsychotic drugs. The objectives of the study were: to determine the pre-intervention extent and frequency of documentation of antipsychotic-related adverse drug reactions in the patient medical record; to implement an intervention aimed at educating the relevant healthcare professionals, focusing on the adverse drug reactions of antipsychotic drugs and how to record or document these reactions; to assess the post-intervention extent and frequency of documentation of antipsychotic-related adverse drug reactions in the patient medical record; and to assess the attitude of healthcare providers towards the documentation of antipsychotic related adverse drug reactions before and after the intervention.
