The aim of this study was to explore the compliance of epilepsy patients in the Phenobarbital Epilepsy Management Project in a rural area of China and its influencing factors, so as to provide the basis for further strategies. A retrospective study researching on the compliance of epilepsy patients in the Phenobarbital Epilepsy Management Project of Rural China was conducted. The Nan County, Hunan Province as a typical rural China was selected as the study site. We collected the compliance and other relative factors from 2017 to 2019 though the Phenobarbital Epilepsy Management Project data system. The good compliance patients in the Phenobarbital Epilepsy Management Project in a rural area of China were 98.99% (393/397); only 4 cases had poor compliance. The factors affecting the compliance of epilepsy patients were “adverse reactions of digestive tract symptoms,” “how the patient felt physically, mentally, or working and learning ability during this period," and “the ratio of the attack to the previous one.” The rate of good compliance among the epilepsy patients in the Phenobarbital Epilepsy Management Project in a rural area of China was high. More attention to education, patients’ psychology, and the curative effect of family members may improve the compliance of patients with epilepsy further.

“…Children are a unique and heterogeneous group of patientswhose body is responses to drugs are different from adults', and their medication adherence may depend entirely on others ( 9 ). Children's supervisor refers to the person in charge of children's medication in the family, including parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters, etc.…”

“…Children's supervisor refers to the person in charge of children's medication in the family, including parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters, etc. Numerous studies have identified factors influencing children's medication adherence, including the general sociological characteristics of supervisors' education level ( 10 ), family income ( 11 ), number of children ( 12 ), occupation ( 12 ), health belief ( 9 ), knowledge of diseases and drugs ( 9 ), belief and worry about the necessity of drugs ( 13 ), etc., For example, in families with non-only children, the family members may be unable to supervise the children's medication in time, which leads to poor adherence and difficulty in medication. Occupations of family members as manual laborers or free/full-time employment may easily lead to difficulties in children's medication use.…”

“…Caregivers think that their children take too many drugs, which will increase the risk of children suffering from long-term effects, such as drug addiction or losing efficacy. In a study for children with asthma, some caregivers think that the combination medication is too much for the children, so they only give the children controller medication when they have asthma symptoms, even though the prescription was suggested to use medication every day ( 9 ). Recently, a bibliometric study found that children's adherence to antibiotics, anti-asthma, and anti-epileptic drugs is being extensively studied ( 14 ).…”

ObjectiveTo explore the influence of parents on the medication adherence of their children.Study DesignA cross-sectional online investigation.MethodsA questionnaire with 41 questions was designed based on the health belief model (HBM) distributed and collected online in 28 cities around China through multi-stage stratified sampling. The reliability of the questionnaire was assessed with Cronbach's α coefficient and split-half reliability, and its validity was evaluated with exploratory factor analysis and content validity index. The structural equation model (SEM) was constructed to explore the relationship between the parents' health beliefs and their children's medication adherence. Subgroup analysis was conducted to study the differences between parents with different demographic characteristics (male and female, rural and urban).Results573 questionnaires were included for analysis, with an effective rate of 62.97%. The Cronbach'α coefficient of the questionnaire was 0.821 > 0.6, the split-half reliability was 0.651 > 0.6, the I-CVI of each dimension were >0.78, and the S-CVI/AVE (I-CVI average) was 0.95 > 0.9. The result of the questionnaire exploratory factor analysis met the standard. According to the SEM, self-efficacy (λ = 0.177), perceived susceptibility (λ = −0.244), and perceived severity (λ = 0.243) were direct influencing factors of children's medication adherence. In the subgroup analysis, the model established by each subgroup was consistent with the model established by the overall sample. The absolute values of females' perceived susceptibility, severity, and self-efficacy for their children's medication adherence path coefficients were higher than males'.ConclusionParents' perceived severity and self-efficacy may positively impact on their children's medication adherence, while parents' susceptibility to children's medication non-adherence may negatively impact on children's medication adherence. Objective constraints, perceived barriers, and benefits may in directly impact on children's medication adherence. Women's health beliefs appear to have a more significant impact on their children's medication adherence than men's. It may be an effective strategy to increase their children's medication adherence by improving parents' health beliefs. Medical staff should explain medication adherence knowledge to the parents of children, and inform the children of the possible consequences of non-adherence with medication, to improve the subjective perception of parents on the severity of children's non-adherence with medication, and improve parents' self-efficacy in rational medication for children. In addition, attention should be paid to the mental health of the parents, and more social and psychological support.

“…Medication adherence is a complex issue involving the patient, the caregivers and the multidisciplinary healthcare team (El‐Rachidi et al., 2017 ). Adherence to medication has known to be one of the primary determinants of treatment success in paediatric asthma (Foronda et al., 2020 ); however, low adherence affects children of ethnic minorities and low‐income families significantly, as poor socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with low adherence (Foronda, Muheriwa, et al., 2020 ). Additionally, literature has shown that factors such as daily hassles of life, stress and family conflict are barriers to medication adherence in children with asthma (Chappell, 2015 ).…”

Asthma is the most common long-term illness in children in the UnitedStates that affects 8.5% of all children (Miller et al., 2016). According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, asthma represented the most common and most expensive reason for potentially preventable hospital stays in children in 2017, with 53,900 hospital stays and $278.1 million in aggregate costs (McDermott & Jiang, 2020). Asthma is associated with high Emergency Department (ED) and Urgent Care Clinic (UCC) utilization in children-almost twice as many compared to adults (Pate et al., 2021). Research hasshown that avoidable ED visits for acute asthma are prevalent in children, which contributes to a heavy cost burden of paediatric asthma on governments, healthcare systems, and on patients and families (Beydon et al., 2016).Health disparities are an important factor to consider in paediatric asthma. Paediatric asthma is more prevalent among children from low-income families and among non-Hispanic Black children and those of Puerto Rican descent when compared to non-Hispanic White children (Zahran et al., 2018). Furthermore, health disparities are implicated in asthma-related ED visits and eventual hospitalizations. In low-income families, Black children were less likely to be
