Conclusion
This study could inform clinicians and stakeholder on the impediments
and enablers for deprescribing decisions among HCPs. The deprescribing
practice seems to depend on the type of HCPs, and with their education
level and experience. Treatment specific deprescribing guidelines and
algorithms, multidisciplinary collaboration and continuous education
development should be sought to guide HCPs for evidence-based
deprescribing decision process. Pharmacists-led medication review could
lessen potentially inappropriate medication. Future studies should focus
on impediments and enablers to deprescribing specific to the context in
Ethiopia. Further interventions studies are needed with
multidisciplinary approach.
