Abstract: (1695 Views)
Non-adherence to treatment is a major worldwide concern for healthcare providers. This is especially important in chronic diseases where patients have to follow the prescribed treatment for a long time. Adherence to the treatment of patients with chronic diseases in developed countries is at an average of 50%, and this rate is lower in developing countries. Despite many studies on non-adherence to treatment, it has remained an unresolved issue for the past four decades. On the other hand, commonly used interventions and practices have not successfully improved adherence to prescribed treatments in patients with chronic diseases. Moreover, the available theories of adherence have little explanatory power to justify this issue.
