I’m compiling a concise research study on polypharmacy and medication safety in aged-care settings, with a sharp focus on medication adherence. I only need a basic, desk-based review that draws exclusively from published journal articles. Scope • Locate and screen recent, peer-reviewed articles (preferably from the last 5-7 years) on medication adherence in elderly residents of nursing homes or similar aged-care facilities. • Extract key findings on prevalence, common barriers, and practical strategies that have improved adherence within this population. • Summarise insights into a well-structured report of roughly 1,500–2,000 words. • Include sections for Introduction, Search Strategy, Results, Discussion, and Practical Recommendations, followed by an APA 7 reference list. Acceptance Criteria • I’m commissioning a detailed literature review research study on Polypharmacy in older adults living in aged-care facilities. The goal is to understand how polypharmacy affects day-to-day medication use and to generate practical recommendations that improve medication safety. Scope and key tasks • Conduct a concise literature review pinpointing current knowledge gaps around polypharmacy and adherence in residential aged care. • Design an observational study protocol, including inclusion/exclusion criteria, sampling strategy, data-collection timeline, and methods for tracking real-world medication-taking behaviour. • Develop all study instruments (e.g., chart-review templates, observation checklists) and an accompanying data dictionary. • Prepare an ethics-ready submission package that addresses consent, privacy, and resident wellbeing. • Deliver a clear, publication-ready report that presents findings, interprets implications for medication safety, and outlines actionable recommendations for aged-care staff and pharmacists. 3-5 Articles Covered In The Project. A short, accurate literature review that meets these points is all I’m after—no fieldwork or interviews required.
