Medications are a critical form of treatment for patients with PH. This study aims to explore the experiences of patients with PH undergoing polypharmacy, thereby providing a more concrete foundation for formulating targeted intervention measures.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Methods A purposive sampling method was used to select 13 PH patients treated in a grade III hospital in Zhejiang Province from December 2023 to February 2024 as the research subjects. This study is a descriptive qualitative research design, where the patients were interviewed face-to-face in a semi-structured manner. The data were analyzed, summarized and extracted using the traditional content analysis method.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results There were five themes and ten sub-themes surrounding the polypharmacy experiences of the PH patients: (1) Negative emotional experience of multidrug use, including lack of disease-related medication knowledge and insufficient ability to obtain medication information; (2) Complex physical testing of multiple drugs, including adverse reactions and complex dose titration; (3) Economic burden; (4) Coping difficulties, including insufficient drug safety, excessive reliance on medical personnel, and lack of opportunities for deep participation; (5) Desire for supports, including professional and social support, as well as those from family, colleagues and classmates.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusion Disease, treatment, psychological factors, and social customs affect PH patients\u2019 drug use post-diagnosis, with varying experiences and degrees. Healthcare providers must offer tailored care and practical strategies for managing multiple drug use, considering patients\u2019 unique experiences and needs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.12968\/hmed.2024.0392","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,9]],"date-time":"2024-12-09T09:19:07Z","timestamp":1733735947000},"page":"1-17","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Qualitative Study on the Experiences of Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension Undergoing Polypharmacy"],"prefix":"10.31083","volume":"85","author":[{"given":"Yundan","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing, Zhejiang Chinese Medical University, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Run","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing, Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yiyu","family":"Zhuang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing, Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"16242","reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpainsymman.2019.11.023"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7326\/0003-4819-115-5-343"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1183\/13993003.02148-2018"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S2213-2600(15)00543-3"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1164\/rccm.202012-4350ED"},{"key":"B6","first-page":"255","volume":"16","author":"Lambert VA","year":"2012","journal-title":"Pacific Rim International Journal of Nursing Research"},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.37765\/ajmc.2021.88609"},{"key":"B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/10742484211006531"},{"key":"B9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00152192-200511000-00014"},{"key":"B10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S2213-2600(23)00259-X"},{"key":"B11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2022.4402"},{"key":"B12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/13645579.2018.1454643"},{"key":"B13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2013.10.029"},{"key":"B14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/pul2.12003"},{"key":"B16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2147\/PPA.S404287"},{"key":"B17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1378\/chest.10-2327"}],"container-title":["British Journal of Hospital Medicine"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.magonlinelibrary.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.12968\/hmed.2024.0392","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,6]],"date-time":"2026-02-06T10:00:54Z","timestamp":1770372054000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.imrpress.com\/journal\/BJHM\/85\/12\/10.12968\/hmed.2024.0392"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,30]]},"references-count":16,"journal-issue":{"issue":"12","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,30]]}},"alternative-id":["10.12968\/hmed.2024.0392"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.12968\/hmed.2024.0392","relation":{},"ISSN":["1750-8460","1759-7390"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1750-8460","type":"print"},{"value":"1759-7390","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,30]]}}}
