Colleagues with the Minnesota Northstar Geriatrics Workforce Enhancement Program (GWEP) released an innovative self-paced digital training module with animated case scenarios to help care teams, patients and families confidently self-manage medications. (https://mngwep.nexusipe.org/toolkits/effective-medication) A feasibility study was then designed to: 1) Determine if older persons perceive that use of the 4-step process in this training module can help them successfully manage their medications, and 2) Gather preliminary data to assess consistency of the Minnesota Medication Self-Efficacy checklist. (https://mngwep.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/2022-06/Self-Efficacy%20Checklist.pdf) Presenters will review results from the focus group feasibility study and engage webinar participants in a discussion of strategies and solutions for older adults to use effective self-management to gain confidence in the use of medications.
