Journal Title: Indonesian Journal of Clinical Pharmacy - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Long-term adherence is affected by the patient behavior to medicine administration, diet management, and/ or life-style changes as the result of the patients’ concordance to the health-providers’ recommendations. Therapy persistence is defined as the medication sustainability of the patients or the duration without discontinue of the therapy. Patients’ medication adherence is affected by health care system, patients, socioeconomics, therapies, and disease condition factors. This article aimed to evaluate the studies on medication adherence including the definition, prevalence, affecting factors, intervention to increase adherence, and the outcome therapy due to adherence. Purposive method was performed to select the articles from reliable journal database and websites. The result showed that there was inconsistent result of nonpharmacological intervention to enhance the medication adherence; the effect of adherence on therapeutic outcome was found from no and mild effect to intense effect. Though the effect of adherence on therapeutic outcome was inconsistent, efforts to increase adherence should be implemented to ensure that the patients get appropriate administration of the medicine. Medication adherence improved prognosis among hypertensive patients, meanwhile nonadherence increased the patients’ mortality rate, hospital admission, and cost of therapy.
