Area of Science:

  • Health behavior
  • Chronic illness management
  • Patient self-care

Background:

  • Patient compliance is a critical but complex aspect of chronic illness management.
  • Recent scientific and social changes highlight the need for patient involvement in self-care.
  • Existing research faces challenges in definition, measurement, and research design, leading to conflicting findings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review conceptual models of patient compliance.
  • To identify consistently reported factors influencing compliance.
  • To discuss management strategies for improving patient adherence.

Main Methods:

  • Review of five conceptual models of patient compliance.
  • Analysis of factors influencing adherence to medical advice.
  • Examination of educational and intervention strategies.

Main Results:

  • Few factors influencing compliance have been consistently identified.
  • Subtle patient attitudes, beliefs, and quality of life significantly impact outcomes.
  • Management approaches vary from passive supervision to complete patient autonomy.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding patient-specific factors is crucial for effective compliance strategies.
  • Multimodal interventions tailored to patient roles are essential for chronic illness self-care.
  • Further research is needed to resolve inconsistencies in compliance determinants.
