“…26,31 Reports on compliance or likelihood of adverse drug reactions have not found an association with advancing age. 7,[32][33][34] We found nonsignificant trends toward increased discrepancy in cases involving female pa- tients, in cases involving patients managed by cardiologists as compared with internists, and in cases in which there was participation of another physician in patient care. A long-term patient-physician relationship did not diminish the likelihood of medication discrepancy.…”

Background and Objectives: Saudi Arabia has one of the highest prevalence of diabetes. This study was conducted with the following objectives: (1) To study the socio-demographic profile of diabetic patients in Abha. (2) To find the sociodemographic determinants of compliance among diabetic patients in Abha. Material and Methods:A self administered questionnaire which had detailed the socio-demographic features and various aspects of compliance was used on a random sample of registered diabetics at two primary health care centres of Abha.Results: Most of the patients (70.4 percent) were between 40-60 years age. Most of the patients were men (about 60 percent) and Saudis. Majority of patients did not have a university education. Young patients (age<40) were more compliant with all aspects of management, except medication (23.8 percent). Women were significantly more compliant with exercise (49.7 percent), while men were significantly more compliant with follow up (81.1 percent). Saudi patients were significantly compliant with medication (79.2 percent), while non Saudis were compliant with exercise (62.9 percent). All single patients were diet compliant. Smokers were significantly less compliant with exercise. Patients with normal BMI were significantly more compliant with diet and exercise. Conclusion:Patients were found to be generally less compliant towards the regimen. Socio-demographic factors which were significantly associated with non compliance were age, gender, nationality, educational status, marital status, smoking status and BMI.

“…Improved treatment satisfaction of patients with chronic skin diseases contributes to better adherence to medical recommendations and improves the effectiveness of the therapy [10,21]. Medical adherence is the willingness and ability of the patient to follow recommended therapy and attend medical appointments when scheduled [28]. According to Lee and Maibach, the term non-adherence, also called non-compliance, refers to a failure to follow recommendations, application of wrong doses, making wrong breaks in the administration of a drug, improper dosage of a drug, missing doses and premature termination of the therapy [29].…”

Introduction. Atopic dermatitis is a frequent chronic skin disease in children. The major clinical manifestations include itching and dryness of the skin. The pathomechanism of skin changes results from an interaction of genetic and environmental factors as well as impairments of skin barrier function and immune response. Despite chronic treatment the disease is characterized by exacerbation and remission periods and lowers the quality of life of patients and their families. Objective. To evaluate treatment satisfaction in children with atopic dermatitis, identify components of medical care which contribute to treatment satisfaction, and evaluate the relationship between satisfaction and adherence to a doctor's recommendations. Material and methods. One hundred and nineteen children (6 months to 12 years old, mean age 4.9 years) with atopic dermatitis were enrolled in the study. The doctor performed physical examinations and history taking and filled in questionnaires evaluating the course and exacerbation of the disease, the type of administered therapy and diagnostics. The patients' parents completed two questionnaires: a questionnaire assessing satisfaction with the therapy (the type of recommended therapy, adherence to recommendations, contact with the doctor, obtained information, degree of psychological support, role of parents in taking decisions regarding the therapy) and a quality of life questionnaire. Results. The authors observed that 56% of parents were dissatisfied with the administered treatment, and 40% failed to adhere to at least one therapeutic recommendation. Parents of children with mild atopic dermatitis significantly more often stop using emollients. It was also observed that lack of treatment satisfaction in children with severe atopic dermatitis whose parents are insufficiently educated contributes to decreased adherence. The authors identified independent factors of lack of treatment satisfaction: failure to obtain enough psychological support (OR = 20.00), failure to obtain reliable information on the disease (OR = 5.91), failure to actively get engaged in the treatment procedure (OR = 5.31), dissatisfaction with the contact with the doctor (OR = 4.9), dissatisfaction with the diagnostics (OR = 4.93) and severe course of the disease (OR = 2.82). Conclusions. Elimination of risk factors of dissatisfaction with the treatment might potentially improve the adherence to chronic treatment in atopic dermatitis. atopic dermatitis, satisfaction with treatment. Wprowadzenie. Atopowe zapalenie skóry (AZS) jest częstą przewlekłą chorobą skóry u dzieci. Głównymi objawami klinicznymi są suchość skóry i świąd. Patomechanizm zmian skórnych jest wynikiem interakcji między czynnikami genetycznymi, środowiskowymi, zaburzeniami funkcjonowania bariery skórnej a odpowiedzią immunologiczną. Pomimo stosowania przewlekłego leczenia choroba przebiega z okresami zaostrzeń i remisji, obniża jakość życia pacjentów i ich rodzin. Cel pracy.
