The Washington State POLST (physician orders for life- sustaining treatment) program was developed during the early 1990s in an effort to honor patients’ end-of-life treatment plans, specifically, to prevent emergency medicine technicians and emergency room personnel from administering excessive, harmful emergency medical treatment. Consequently, unlike advance directives and living wills, a POLST provides legal authority for emergency medical personnel not to initiate CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). POLST documents are designed to be universal and portable, regardless of the particular health care setting, and their directives must be followed as standing physician orders. Since then, the department, in conjunction with the state medical association, composed the POLST in use today. However, these two bodies extended the legislature’s intent beyond defining patient wishes for resuscitation during emergency medical treatment. Had the document remained limited to the legislature’s original, narrow focus, many of the problems we now encounter with POLST would not occur.

BackgroundThe depth and breadth of problems related to depressive symptomatology and optimal treatment outcomes, including medication treatment adherence, have long been documented in the literature. Missing are clear explanations as to what factors and patient characteristics may account for lack of medication treatment adherence.ObjectivesThe two objectives of the current study were to examine the predictive strength of depression, patient characteristics, and patient attachment style regarding medication treatment adherence and to consider the extent to which attachment styles mediate the relation between depression and medication treatment adherence.MethodParticipants in the present study were 237 racially diverse American primary care patients with a diagnosis of hypertension who were participants in a clinical trial. Depression, patient characteristics, attachment style, and medication treatment adherence were assessed.ResultsPartly consistent with our four hypotheses, the following results were found: (a) Black American, younger, never married, and poorer patients had lower medication treatment adherence (b) depression was significantly associated with lower self-reported medication adherence; (c) insecure–dismissing attachment style was related to lower medication adherence; and (d) insecure–dismissing attachment style mediates the relation between depression and medication treatment adherence by exacerbating the negative association.ConclusionPhysicians and other primary care providers should consider how depressive symptomatology, patient characteristics, and attachment style may inform the treatment plans they put forward and the extent to which patients may adhere to those treatment plans.
