Patient medication-related behaviourAutori: Alina Proca*, Iulian Proca** Rezumat: La nivel international se fac eforturi considerabile pentru a pune pe piata noi medicamente care sa imbunatateasca calitatea si durata vietii. Un factor esential dar greu de controlat este disponibilitatea pacientilor pentru a-si administra aceste medicamente. Evaluarea comportamentelor legate de sanatate este dificila si nici o metoda de masurare a compliantei nu este unanim acceptata. Se pot insa identifica factorii de risc pentru complianta scazuta, incercandu- se ulterior formularea unor metode de ameliorare a acesteia. Cuvinte cheie: complianta pacintului, HIV, hipertensiune, varsta. Abstract:
No effort is spared by the scientific and medical communities to develop yet more highly efficient medications for improving the quality and prolonging the duration of life. However, one crucial factor is out of their control, namely patients’ ability and/or willingness to take the prescribed drugs. Evaluating health-related behaviour is particularly challenging, so much so that although several methods for doing it are described, none is generally accepted. Following the identification of risk factors for low adherence to medication, related methods for improving it may be proposed Key words: Patient Non-Adherence, Patient Compliance, HIV, hypertension, aged.
