    Area of Science:

    • Medical adherence research
    • Patient-physician relationship dynamics
    • Health psychology

    Background:

    • Noncompliance prevalence is frequently underestimated in clinical practice.
    • Physicians' roles in influencing patient compliance are not fully recognized.
    • Physicians often prioritize patient education over direct compliance responsibility.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the underestimated prevalence of noncompliance.
    • To emphasize the physician's dual role in promoting and inhibiting patient compliance.
    • To introduce the concept of disease denial/rationalization syndrome as a barrier.

    Main Methods:

    • Qualitative analysis of physician attitudes towards patient compliance.
    • Exploration of physician-patient communication strategies.
    • Identification of factors influencing compliance.

    Main Results:

    • Physicians acknowledge patient education but avoid compliance responsibility.
    • Disease denial/rationalization syndrome is identified as emotional resistance to treatment.
    • Physician's active inquiry into compliance significantly impacts adherence.

    Conclusions:

    • Improving patient compliance requires recognizing and addressing physician-influenced factors.
    • Tactful and flexible compliance-gaining strategies are essential.
    • Further research into physician-patient dynamics is needed to enhance treatment outcomes.
