Currently, regular adherence to guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) for heart failure can lead to the reversal of heart failure, even when complete abstinence of methamphetamine is not maintained. However, adhering to GDMT is challenging for patients with MethHF since they experience comorbidities including housing and financial instability, co-occurring mental illness, and reduced social support among others. This quality improvement project utilized the Model for Improvement framework to evaluate patient perceptions of barriers to medication adherence in those with MethHF at a heart failure clinic in the Portland metro area. 000042720 540__ $$fPublic Domain 000042720 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000042720 650__ $$aHeart Failure$$019939 000042720 650__ $$aSubstance-Related Disorders$$032029 000042720 650__ $$aMedication Adherence$$038180 000042720 6531_ $$amethamphetamine-associated heart failure 000042720 6531_ $$amethamphetamine-associated cardiomyopathy 000042720 691__ $$aSchool of Nursing$$041370 000042720 7001_ $$aLee, Christine$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000042720 8564_ $$940b27ba6-84e8-4569-a81e-55e9c14272f1$$s718027$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/42720/files/Lee.Christine.2024.pdf 000042720 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:42720$$pstudent-work 000042720 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations 000042720 981__ $$aPublished$$b2024-03-06
