“…9,10 Hand et al found that asthmatic patients adhered well to recommended treatment when the treatment regimen made sense to them and when they felt they had the ability to succeed at the regimen. 11 In addition, a significant association was found between patients’ illness perception and osteoarthritis patients’ decisions to seek medical help and adherence to medical advice. 12…”

“…The self-regulatory model 8 is proving a useful model in assessing specific health beliefs and how they influence medication-taking behaviour. [9][10][11][12] The self-regulatory model proposes that healthrelated behaviour is strongly influenced by ideas around certain themes (termed illness representations). There are five themes: identity, time-line, cause, consequences and cure/control.…”

Patient compliance in hypertension: role of illness perceptions and treatment beliefs

Despite many years of study, questions remain about why patients do or do not take medicines and what can be done to change their behaviour. Hypertension is poorly controlled in the UK and poor compliance is one possible reason for this. Recent questionnaires based on the self-regulatory model have been successfully used to assess illness perceptions and beliefs about medicines. This study was designed to describe hypertensive patients' beliefs about their illness and medication using the self-regulatory model and investigate whether these beliefs influence compliance with antihypertensive medication. We recruited 514 patients from our secondary care population. These patients were asked to complete a questionnaire that included the Beliefs about Medicines and Illness Perception Questionnaires. A case note review was also undertaken. Analysis shows that patients who believe in the necessity of medication are more likely to be compliant (odds ratio (OR)) 3.06 (95% CI 1.74-5.38), Po0.001). Other important predictive factors in this population are age ), Po0.001), emotional response to illness (OR 0.65 (0.47-0.90), P ¼ 0.01) and belief in personal ability to control illness (OR 0.59 (0.40-0.89), P ¼ 0.01). Beliefs about illness and about medicines are interconnected; aspects that are not directly related to compliance influence it indirectly. The self-regulatory model is useful in assessing patients health beliefs. Beliefs about specific medications and about hypertension are predictive of compliance. Information about health beliefs is important in achieving concordance and may be a target for intervention to improve compliance.

“…Theory of planned behavior proposes that the patients' acts (shows compliance) as his/her intention secondary to its benefits like improvement in health. 18 Counseling the patients regarding health benefits and long term outcomes of blood pressure control may improve compliance to antihypertensive therapy. Psychological aspects of compliance should be studied extensively to counteract accordingly.…”

Objectives: The objective of this study is to factors associated with compliance to antihypertensive therapy in patients visiting tertiary care hospital. Study Design: Cross-Sectional study. Setting: (Dow Institute of Cardiology) Cardiology Department, Dow OJHA Campus and Karachi Institute of Heart Diseases (KIHD), Karachi. Period: July, 2019 to Dec, 2019. Material & Method: Over a period of 6 months participants were evaluated for their compliance to therapy. Data was collected using a questionnaire which consisted of sociodemographic profile, type of treatment regimen, compliance to medication and lifestyle changes. Compliance of all participants was calculated and factors associated with low compliance were pointed out. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 20. Results: A total of 271 patients visiting the hospital’s outpatient department matched the inclusion criteria of this study. Among them there were 69.3% (n=188) were males and 30.6% (n=83) females. Around 83% patients were married, while the rest were unmarried or divorced. Patients in our study had age range of 38-84 years with mean age of 49.5 + 11.7 years. Approximately 52.7% (n=143) patients were addicted to smoking, 15.4% (n=42) patients were addicted to alcohol. Our study showed that 47.6% (n=129) hypertensive patients were highly compliant to treatment, whereas 20.6% (n=56) were moderately compliant and 31.7% (n=86) patients were not compliant to the treatment. Only 39.4% of the patients were carrying out lifestyle modifications along with antihypertensive treatment. Conclusion: Compliance to antihypertensive therapy is of prime importance to decrease morbidity and mortality as complication to hypertension. Factors associated with non-compliance to antihypertensive therapy should be studied and possible interventions should be taken to increase adherence.
