Patient Experience Evaluation of the CMO-Based Pharmaceutical Care Model vs Usual Care in People Living with HIV

To compare patient experience in a real-life population of people living with HIV (PLWH) who received pharmaceutical care (PC) based on the Capacity-Motivation-Opportunity (CMO) model versus the traditional model. Prospective cohort study in PLWH receiving either CMO-based PC or traditional PC in Spain between October 2019 and June 2021 (24 weeks), performed by the pharmacy department of 14 Spanish hospitals. Participants were adult patients with a clinical diagnosis of HIV treated with antiretrovirals who had been monitored in the participating hospital pharmacies for >1 year. Patient experience (IEXPAC questionnaire), clinical outcomes (cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, glycated haemoglobin, and blood pressure), adherence to treatment, virologic control and patient satisfaction were determined. Patient experience in the CMO group at week 24 was significantly better (7.6 vs 6.9) than in the traditional group, with a higher mean improvement. Adherence was better in the CMO group, particularly with regard to concomitant medications (53.2% to 91.7%,
