Abstract
- Aims: To explore the experience and feelings associated with the endocrine therapy treatment trajectory in women with breast cancer and what affects medication taking behaviour.<br />Design: Qualitative systematic review.<br />Data Sources: Qualitative studies were extracted from PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO from inception of each database until February 2019.<br />Review Methods: The systematic search method SPIDER (sample, phenomenon of interest, design, evaluation, research type) was used. Thematic synthesis of the qualitative data was used.<br />Results: A total of 478 were identified in the initial search. Only 17 articles met inclusion criteria and were included in this review. Five analytical themes and 17 descriptive subthemes were identified.<br />Conclusions: The systematic review highlights knowledge, balancing the scales, self-efficacy and support influence medication taking behaviour to women with breast cancer.<br />Impact: The medication taking behaviour of breast cancer women can be classified into four types: acceptance/persistence, bearing/suffering, hesitation/adjustment, refusing/abandoning. The four types can switch from one to another. Medication taking behaviour is affected by knowledge, balancing the scales, self-efficacy, and support. The medical institutions, communities, and families can gain knowledge of the treatment experiences of women to better understand medication taking behaviour and those at risk for non-adherence. Women wanted different types and amounts of information. Healthcare providers should be aware of patient preferences and take targeted interventions to help them receive treatment.<br /> (© 2019 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.)
