Abstract
Patients diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) often undergo concurrent temozolomide and radiation therapy. Antineoplastic medication nonadherence continues to be an issue for patients with cancer. This quality improvement project aimed to institute an evidence-based standardized educational tool for patients with GBM undergoing concurrent temozolomide and radiation therapy. To assess medication adherence, patients completed the Brief Adherence Rating Scale at the end of the last radiation therapy visit. Patients and providers completed satisfaction surveys. Data analysis from the administered Brief Adherence Rating Scale demonstrated a mean of 99.3% (N = 13) medication adherence among participants. Median medication adherence was demonstrated to be 100%, with scores ranging from 93% to 100%.
