Patients' Attitudes and Experiences of Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs in Rheumatoid Arthritis and Spondyloarthritis: A Qualitative Synthesis
Objective.Nonadherence to disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDS) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and spondy-loarthritis (SpA) results in increased disease activity and symptoms and poorer quality of life. We aimed to describepatients’ attitudes and experiences of DMARDs in RA and SpA to inform strategies to improve medication adherence.Methods.Databases (MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, and CINAHL) were searched to January 2016. Thematic synthesiswas used to analyze the findings.Results.From 56 studies involving 1,383 adult patients (RA [n=1,149], SpA [n=191], not specified [n=43]), we identified 6themes (with subthemes): intensifying disease identity (severity of sudden pharmacotherapy, signifying deteriorating health,daunting lifelong therapy), distressing uncertainties and consequences (poisoning the body, doubting efficacy, conflictingand confusing advice, prognostic uncertainty with changingtreatment regimens), powerful social influences (swayed byothers’ experiences, partnering with physicians, maintaining roles, confidence in comprehensive and ongoing care, valuingpeer support), privilege and right of access to biologic agents (expensive medications must be better, right to receive a biologicagent, fearing dispossession), maintaining control (complete ownership of decision, taking extreme risks, minimizing life-style intrusion), and negotiating treatment expectations (miraculous recovery, mediocre benefit, reaching the end of the line).Conclusion.Patients perceive DMARDs as strong medications with alarming side effects that intensify their disease iden-tity. Trust and confidence in medical care, positive experiences with DMARDS among other patients, and an expectationthat medications will help maintain participation in life can motivate patients to use DMARDs. Creating a supportive envi-ronment for patients to voice their concerns may improve treatment satisfaction, adherence, and health outcomes
