    High patient compliance with medication advice was observed in an urban general practice. The doctor-patient relationship appears to be the primary factor influencing adherence to prescriptions.

    Area of Science:

    • General Practice
    • Pharmacology
    • Patient Adherence

    Background:

    • Medication adherence is crucial for treatment efficacy.
    • Previous studies identified various factors influencing patient compliance.
    • The impact of the doctor-patient relationship on adherence requires further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess medication-taking behavior in a general practice setting.
    • To identify factors influencing patient compliance with prescribed medications.
    • To explore the role of the doctor-patient relationship in medication adherence.

    Main Methods:

    • A random sample of 521 patients from an urban general practice was surveyed.
    • Patients who received prescriptions were investigated for their adherence to medication advice.

  • Statistical analysis was performed to identify factors associated with compliance.

    • Main Results:

    • A very high degree of patient compliance with medication advice was achieved.
    • Previously reported factors influencing adherence showed minimal impact in this cohort.
    • A strong positive correlation was found between the doctor-patient relationship and compliance.

    Conclusions:

    • The doctor-patient relationship is a significant determinant of medication adherence.
    • Effective communication and trust in general practice settings can enhance patient compliance.
    • Future interventions should focus on strengthening the doctor-patient relationship to improve health outcomes.
