MS Injection Anxiety Program: FREE DOWNLOAD FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA- SAN FRANCISCO
"....Our research has found that up to 50% of people who are prescribed
medications requiring intramuscular injection are unable to self-inject because of their injection anxiety.
This means that other people must be trained to perform the injection (e.g., a family member), or the person must go to a clinic to obtain the injections.
We found that people who were not able to self-inject due to injection anxiety were much more likely to discontinue taking the medication.
We have therefore developed a brief model of counseling to teach people to
overcome their injection anxiety and learn to self inject. An initial pilot of
our self-injection counseling program showed that it was highly successful
in teaching people to self-inject. We are currently completing a trial of the
intervention that will more definitively test whether or not this program is
effective at teaching self-injection.
Workbook and Manual:
The manual and workbook are copyrighted. We make them available to
patients and counselors free of charge. To read them you will need Adobe
Acrobat Reader. If you need a copy of Acrobat Reader, go to the Adobe
website and follow the instructions to download Acrobat Reader free of
charge.
