Main Results:

  • Enhanced patient education, simplified dosing schedules, and improved healthcare accessibility can improve adherence.
  • Stronger provider-patient relationships and trust can mitigate cost-related non-adherence.
  • Screening for adherence predictors and addressing modifiable risk factors like depression and stress are beneficial.

Conclusions:

  • Medication non-adherence in patients is multifactorial.
  • Individualized, multi-dimensional strategies combining various interventions are necessary.
  • Educational interventions involving patients and families can significantly improve adherence.
