Adhärenz zu oralen Tyrosinkinaseinhibitoren bei chronischer myeloischer Leukämie - Querschnittsstudie in einer universitären Spezialambulanz / Adherence to oral tyrosine kinase inhibitors in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia – a cross-sectional study in a university-based outpatient clinic

Csef, Eva-Johanna January 2018 (has links) (PDF)
Der orale Tyrosinkinaseinhibitor (TKI) Imatinib wurde 2002 zur Behandlung der chronischen myeloischen Leukämie (CML) zugelassen und ist als „targeted therapy“, die sich gegen das die Erkrankung in den meisten Fällen verursachende BCR/ABL1-Fusionsprotein richtet, als Meilenstein in der Therapie der CML zu sehen. Neben verschiedenen unerwünschten Arzneimittelwirkungen (UAW) stellt auch eine niedrige Rate der Adhärenz, also der Übereinstimmung des Patientenverhaltens mit den Empfehlungen der behandelnden Ärzte, ein entscheidendes Problemfeld im klinischen Einsatz von Imatinib dar. Zusätzlich zu persönlichen Eigenschaften des Patienten und speziellen Merkmalen der Erkrankung spielt hierbei unter anderem auch die Interaktion zwischen Arzt und Patient eine herausragende Rolle. Fälschlicherweise wird bei Patienten mit einer malignen Neoplasie prinzipiell von adhärentem Verhalten ausgegangen; mangelnde Patientenschulung oder Arzneimittelinteraktionen führen jedoch häufig zu Nonadhärenz mit zum Teil lebensbedrohlichen Folgen. So postuliert etwa die 2009 von Noens et al. veröffentlichte ADAGIO-Studie bei lediglich 14,2 % der Patienten unter TKI Therapie bei CML ein absolut adhärentes Verhalten. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich in diesem Kontext schwerpunktmäßig mit steuerbaren Einflussfaktoren wie Copingstrategien und dem Wissensstand der Patienten über die Therapie ihrer Erkrankung. Hierzu wurde bei 37 in einer universitären Spezialambulanz behandelten CML-Patienten (21 Männer und 16 Frauen mit einem mittleren Alter von 59 Jahren) zunächst mittels des „Basel Assessment of Adherence Scale with Immunosuppressive Medication“ (BAASIS) die Adhärenz unter Imatinib erhoben. Dabei ergab sich eine Adhärenzrate von 49 %, die niedrig, aber tendenziell höher als erwartet ausfiel. Bei einer moderateren Definition von adhärentem Verhalten zeigt sich sogar eine Adhärenzrate von 84 %. Eine Auswertung des „Freiburger Fragebogens zur Krankheitsverarbeitung“ im selben Patientenkollektiv verdeutlicht wie wichtig ein stabiles Arzt-Patienten-Verhältnis ist, auch wenn keine signifikante Korrelation zwischen positivem Coping und adhärentem Verhalten gezeigt werden konnte. Bisher in diesem Rahmen wenig erforscht ist die Angst vor einem Fortschreiten der Erkrankung, die mit dem Progredienzangst-Fragebogen von Herschbach erfasst werden kann. Von dieser Angst ist die Mehrheit der Studienteilnehmer betroffen (73 % mittleres Ausmaß, 16 % hohes Ausmaß an Progredienzangst). Vermutlich bedingt durch die kleine Stichprobengröße ließ sich auch hier keine signifkante Korrelation zur Adhärenz herstellen. Mit einem p-Wert von 0,003 zeigt sich jedoch ein statistisch signifikanter Zusammenhang zwischen maladaptiven Copingstrategien („Bagatellisierung und Wunschdenken“) und verstärkter Progredienzangst. Auch bei depressiven Verarbeitungsstrukturen lässt sich die Tendenz zu einer Korrelation erkennen (p-Wert 0,06). Neben einem Progress der Erkrankung ist die Angst vor unerwünschten Nebenwirkungen für Patienten von großer Bedeutung. Insbesondere bei den – selbst in der moderateren Auslegung des BAASIS – nonadhärenten Patienten zeigt sich eine signifikante Korrelation (p-Wert 0,023). Dadurch wird der Stellenwert einer guten Aufklärung und Schulung der Patienten deutlich, vor allem da Patienten ihr konkretes Wissen bezüglich Krankheit und Therapie oft zu überschätzen scheinen. Abschließend bleibt festzuhalten, dass eine Förderung adhärenten Verhaltens auch bei onkologischen Patienten von enormer Bedeutung ist. Besonders zu berücksichtigende Themen sind Verarbeitungsstrategien, der Umgang mit Ängsten sowie die Information und Schulung der Patienten. / The oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib was approved for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in 2002 and is said to be a milestone in the treatment of CML, as it is a targeted therapy that addresses the BCR/ABL1 fusion protein which causes the disease in most cases. Besides unwanted side effects a low rate of adherence, i.e. the correspondence of a patient’s behaviour with recommendations of the attending physicians, are important themes in the clinical use of imatinib. In addition to personal traits of the patient and special characteristics of the disease, the interaction between physician and patient plays an outstanding role. Misleadingly one tends to assume adherent behaviour in patients with a malignant neoplasia; a lack of patients’ education or drug interactions often lead to nonadherence with to some extent life-threatening consequences. Noens and colleagues postulate perfectly adherent behaviour regarding the TKI therapy only for 14.2 % of CML patients in their 2009 published ADAGIO study. In this context the present work deals mainly with modifiable parameters like coping strategies and the patients’ knowledge about the treatment of their disease. For this the adherence to imatinib was measured with the “Basel Assessment of Adherence Scale with Immunosuppressive Medication” (BAASIS) in 37 outpatients (21 men and 16 women with a mean age of 59 years) treated for CML. The result was an adherence rate of 49 %, which was low but tended to be higher than expected. Applying a more moderate definition of adherent behaviour we even got an adherence rate of 84 %. The analysis of the “Freiburg Questionnaire on Coping with Illness” among these patients makes clear how important a stable relationship between patient and physician is, even though no significant correlation between positive coping and adherent behaviour could be demonstrated. So far there is little research about the fear of progression, which can be assessed with the “Fear of Progression Questionnaire” by Herschbach. This fear affects the majority of the study’s participants (73 % moderate level, 16 % high level of fear of progression). Probably because of the small sample size no significant correlation to adherence could be shown also in this case. However with a p-value of 0.003 there was a statistically significant correlation between maladaptive coping strategies (“extenuation and wishful thinking”) and increased fear of progression. Also for depressive coping a tendency to association can be seen (p-value 0.06). Besides the progress of the disease the fear of unwanted side effects is of big importance to the patients. Particularly for the – even with the moderate interpretation of the BAASIS – nonadherent patients a significant correlation is shown (p-value 0.023). Thereby the value of good education and instructions becomes apparent, especially as patients seem to overestimate their precise knowledge about the disease and the treatment. It remains to be noted that encouragement to adherent behaviour is of enormous relevance also with oncological patients. In particular to consider are coping strategies, dealing with fears as well as the information and education of the patients.

Participant adherence to the Internet-based prevention program StudentBodies™ for eating disorders — A review

Beintner, Ina, Jacobi, Corinna, Taylor, C. Barr 14 July 2014 (has links) (PDF)
Study and treatment dropout and adherence represent particular challenges in studies on Internet-based interventions. However, systematic investigations of the relationship between study, intervention and patient characteristics, participation, and intervention outcomes in online-prevention are scarce. A review of participation in trials investigating a cognitive-behavioral, Internet-based, 8-week prevention program (StudentBodies™) for eating disorders, moderators of participation, and the impact of participation on the relationship of outcome moderators and outcomes was performed. Seven US and three German studies with a total of N = 1059 female participants were included. Two of the U.S. and one of the German trials explicitly addressed high risk samples in a selective prevention approach. Across studies, dropout rates ranged from 3% to 26%. The women who participated in the trials accessed on average between 49% and 83% of the assigned intervention content. None of the study characteristics (universal vs. selective prevention, incentives, country, participants' age) predicted adherence or study dropout. After adjusting for adherence, intervention outcomes (EDI Drive for Thinness and EDI Bulimia) were only moderated by participant's age, with smaller effects in one sample of adolescent girls. Adherence to StudentBodies™ proved to be high across a number of trials, settings and countries. These findings are promising, but it is likely that adherence will be distinctly lower in the general public than in research settings, and intervention effects will turn out smaller. However, the intervention is readily available at minimal cost per participant, and the public health impact may still be notable.
