“…It should be noted that TRA has a long history of use in both health and nonmedical‐care‐related phenomena, including smoking [45], drinking [46], contraceptive use [47], exercise behavior [48], voting [49], and wearing seat belts [50]. There have also been some applications of TRA to the issue of medical compliance [51–53]. Although it is not necessary to invoke TRA to justify the assessment of patient satisfaction with medication, TRA leads to several important concepts that can be translated into research on satisfaction with medication.…”

“…Of 3000 women surveyed between the ages of 20 and 60 years, almost half had experienced painful urination, but only 10% had sought care from their primary care provider (13). The Health Belief Model (22) suggests that a patient's perceptions of illness severity, susceptibility, risks/costs and benefits all play a role in their decision regarding whether or not to seek care (23). Not seeking care may suggest that women do not perceive dysuria to be severe, that they do not know treatment is available, or that they perceive the risk/cost of seeking care to outweigh the benefits of treatment.…”

Differences in physician and patient perceptions of uncomplicated UTI symptom severity: understanding the communication gap

Uncomplicated urinary tract infection (uUTI) is the most common bacterial infection encountered in clinical practice but evaluation and treatment of the illness vary considerably among physicians. The literature suggests that there is often a gap in the perception of symptom severity between physician and patient, a gap that may be a result of the different models they use to explain and manage disease, a result of misinformation or misconceptions about uUTIs, or a result of poor patient-physician communication. This gap in perceptions about uUTI may lead to poor patient care, decreased quality of life and increased antibiotic resistance. Good communication between patient and physician has been shown to result in improved health outcomes. Several approaches to improving communication during consultations have been described in the literature. Physician and patient education and their agreement about any disease, including uUTI can be expected to improve treatment compliance and reduce the incidence of recurrence of such infections. Future work should focus on improvement of communication during clinical consultations to encourage appropriate bidirectional sharing of clinical and patient information. Further research about behavioural risk factors for uUTI may allow evidence-based information to be used in educational programmes.

“…Under certain disease conditions, some of the components of the Health Belief Model do help in the understanding of compliance. However, the entire model has not been supported empirically (79). In response, researchers attempted to improve the model by adding more components.…”

SUMMARYThis article reviews the major topic areas of compliance research. Much of the research in the area has focused on measurement, extent, and determinants of non-compliance. Research on the effectiveness of educational and behavioural strategies to improve compliance suggests the need to combine them. While some authors have attempted to model compliance or medication-taking behaviours, these models cannot be applied widely.After decades of compliance research, very little consistent information is available, except that people do not take their medications as prescribed. The methodological rigour of compliance studies may partially contribute to this situation. Methodological flaws have included design features and study execution. In addition, researchers have proceeded with studies without regard to a theoretical framework.Many have argued that much of the existing compliance literature also lacks conceptual rigour. Although we know that people do not take their medications consistently, we do not know specifically why they have done so. One reason for this lack of understanding is that compliance research has been dominated by the perspective of the health professional. To better understand medicationtaking behaviour, researchers need to examine the patient's perspective. Consequently, future research needs to investigate a patient's decisionmaking process and the reasons for those decisions.
