Abstract:
Objective To explore the latent class and influencing factors of medication literacy in patients with coronary heart disease after PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention), and provide guidance for precise intervention.
Methods A total of 260 patients with coronary heart disease after PCI in a Grade-A hospital in Anhui Province from July 2023 to January 2024 were selected by convenience sampling method. The patients were investigated using the general data questionnaire, drug literacy scale and medication error scale. Mplus8.3 was used for potential category analysis, and SPSS26.0 was used to explore the influencing factors of different drug literacy categories.
Results The medication literacy of patients after PCI could be divided into the low medication literacy type (23.5%), medium medication literacy type (48.5%) and high medication literacy type (28.0%). The influencing factors of medication literacy included the education level, family history of CHD, number of hospitalizations due to CHD and medication errors (P < 0.05).
Conclusions The medication literacy of patients after PCI can be divided into three categories. Medical staff should identify the drug cognition level of patients early, and give individualized medication guidance to improve the medication literacy level of patients and treatment outcome.
