“…In support of a flexible approach to medicine-taking, a study on the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs found that an adaptable approach that involved varying the dose according to the presence of symptoms was less likely to result in hospital admission for upper gastrointestinal bleeding than was rigid compliance to prescribed doses. 200,201 …”

Declared competing interests of authors: Nicky Britten and Catherine Pope have both run workshops using some material from this research. Some have charged attendance fees and generated a small surplus which was paid to their universities. They have not received any personal payment for these workshops. Catherine Pope also co-authored a textbook entitled Synthesising qualitative and quantitative health evidence: a guide to methods, which contains material about metaethnography and cites the research on which this report is based. Pandora Pound was training to be an acupuncturist while also conducting this research and currently practises as an acupuncturist.

“…3 Several studies have shown that patients who are well informed about side effects have a reduced risk of experiencing serious side effects, because they react when symptoms first show. 8 In addition, well-informed rheumatoid arthritis patients have better symptomatic control with less pain and a higher overall quality of care. 3 This suggests that patient education is a central issue in NSAID treatment.…”

“…This is important considering that approximately one third of all ulcer bleeding in older people is attributed to NSAIDs (Haslock, 1990). Herxheimer (1998) suggests 'uncomprehending adherence' is potentially dangerous citing Wynne and Long (1996). They i nterviewed 50 c onsecutive patients (experimental group: EG) taking four commonly used NSAIDs who had been admitted to hospital with a gastrointestinal bleed.…”

Drug therapy plays a major role in the management of many rheumatic diseases and is particularly important in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) because of the significant rates of morbidity and mortality (Pincus, 1995). Understanding of the pathogenesis of RA has led to the development of new and more effective drugs (Emery et al., 1999), but the ultimate efficacy of any drug therapy depends upon the patient's decision to take it. There is widespread agreement that many people with rheumatic disease do not adhere to their medication regimens (Deyo et al., 1981; Belcon et al., 1984; Pullar et al., 1988; Hill et al., 2001). Research has demonstrated that 50% of women taking hormone replacement therapy for the prevention of osteoporosis discontinue treatment after a year (Fordham, 2000) and similar rates of discontinuation are found in other chronic diseases (Haynes et al., 1996, 2000). This is bewildering as, in asymptomatic illnesses such as hypertension and diabetes, the expectation is that levels of adherence would be lower than in diseases where pain and stiffness are present. The picture becomes even more confusing when we consider the findings from a recent multi-country study of RA, which found no association between adherence and disease severity, nor with the treatment prescribed (Viller et al., 1999). In chronic disease poor adherence is commonplace. The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes this and has recently stated that 'poor adherence to treatment of chronic diseases is a worldwide problem of striking magnitude' and cites adherence to long-term therapy for chronic illnesses in developed countries averaging just 50% (WHO, 2003). The first part of this two part review focuses on adherence with drug therapy, and the second part discusses different methods of measuring it.
