Interventions/Control_1

In the intervention group, nurses use the "Nursing Support System for Medication Adherence in Older Adults" to perform an initial assessment within 3 days of admission. Based on the system's radar chart, nurses identify strengths and weaknesses in patients' medication self-management, provide individualized counseling, explain medication management strategies, offer motivational support, and, if necessary, provide guidance to family members. Reassessments and adjustments to the nursing plan are conducted regularly throughout the intervention period (2-8 weeks during hospitalization).

Interventions/Control_2

In the control group, the "Nursing Support System for Medication Adherence in Older Adults" will not be used, and usual nursing support for medication adherence will be provided.
