Various ways of understanding compliance: a psychiatrist’s view
Journal Title: Archives of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy - Year 2011, Vol 13, Issue 3
Abstract
The notion of compliance is commonly considered to be synonymous to the degree to which a patient correctly follows medical advice. Nowadays this definition is criticised for being a remnant of a paternalistic tradition in the relations between physicians and their patients. The authors discuss the contemporary views on the issue of compliance (seen either as the element of patient-practitioner interaction, self-care behaviour, as a cognitive-motivational process, or as an ideology), and highlight possible implications of those views for psychiatric practice.
