Identifying the influence of the sequential mediating effects of distress and perception was important in understanding the pathway between medication adherence and glycaemic control. This suggests the importance of a team-based approach to address these mediators and thus improve glycaemic control. Poor glycaemic control was also found to be associated with higher direct medical costs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
