The prevalence, types, and impact of DRPs on patients' activities of daily living (ADL) and the medication involved are unknown. Insight is needed for targeted interventions.

AbstractObjectives Patients on oral anticancer therapy regularly experience medication-related problems (MRPs), potentially leading to non-adherence and medication waste. Most studies reporting these experiences have cross-sectional designs. The aim of our study was to explore patient reported MRPs, adherence and waste of oral anticancer medication over time.

DiscussionThis study showed that a smart temperature logger was able to increase significantly the proportion of participants who stored their bDMARDs correctly. Furthermore, participants stored bDMARDs significantly longer within the recommended temperature range of 2–8°C using the intervention when compared with baseline. Most of this improvement was found in a shift from storage between 8–15°C to between 2–8°C. Technology acceptance was scored as moderate.
