Patient-Focused Adherence
By: Robyn Woidtke, MSN-Ed, RN, RPSGT, CCSH, FAAST
Each patient’s experience is different! Our lived lives, backgrounds, cultural influences, trust and distrust in the medical system, social determinants of health, age, and gender. This is the short list. It is virtually impossible to capture the enormity of the variety of patients who pass through the sleep center doors to obtain treatment for their condition. Whether it is sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome, narcolepsy, or insomnia, sometimes, the journey to get to the specialist is daunting. I recently came across an article that proposes an approach to helping patients adhere to medications. It struck me that this might be adopted in our field.
