A qualitative study on medication literacy among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
ObjectiveGuided by the medication literacy conceptual model, this study represents an interpretive exploration of medication literacy among patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) to provide evidence for strategies aimed at improving medication adherence.MethodsUsing purposive sampling, 18 patients were recruited from the respiratory department and outpatient clinics of a tertiary general hospital in Shanxi Province between March and July 2025. Data were collected via semi-structured interviews and analyzed using directed content analysis method.ResultsThe analysis yielded four primary themes: functional, communicative, and critical medication literacy, as well as medication numeracy. These findings indicate that medication literacy in COPD patients is influenced by multidimensional factors, highlighting the complex challenges and subjective barriers in both cognitive and behavioral domains.ConclusionThese findings suggest that future interventions could prioritize patient-centered, personalized nursing interventions tailored to these specific literacy deficits-particularly in numeracy and critical processing-to effectively enhance treatment adherence and quality of life for COPD patients.
