Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the experience of HIV+ patients with pharmaceutical care based on the ability-motivation-opportunity methodology. Method: Cross-sectional, unicentric study. The participants included were HIV+ patients attended during November-2016 and to whom the IEXPAC questionnaire was conducted. This validated questionnaire allows to know the experience of chronic patients about the health care they receive. Results: 91 patients were included. The overall mean score of the IEXPAC questionnaire was: 9.7 ± 0,3. The items that obtained higher scores were: respect lifestyle (9.9 ± 0.5); coordination to offer good care (9.9 ± 0.5); helping to continue treatment (9.9 ± 0.4); making sure that I take medication (9.9 ± 0.4); worried about well-being (9.9 ± 0.4). The points with the possibility of improvements included: worried about me when I get home after being in hospital (8.7 ± 1.2). Conclusions: The evaluation of the pharmaceutical care process based on the ability-motivation-opportunity model achieve a high level in each of the identified points of interaction.
