    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Pharmacology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Medication compliance (MC) is crucial for effective pediatric treatment.
    • Understanding factors influencing MC in diverse populations is essential for improving health outcomes.
    • Previous research has identified various determinants of MC, but context-specific data is needed.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate medication compliance (MC) in a pediatric outpatient population.
    • To identify specific factors influencing MC among children attending Conwest Jain Clinic Group of Hospitals.
    • To analyze the impact of socioeconomic and demographic variables on pediatric MC.

    Main Methods:

    • A cross-sectional study was conducted on 1,004 children of various ages and sexes.
    • Medication compliance was categorized into total, partial, poor, and excessive.

  • Data on acute/chronic illness, age, sex, community, income, parental education/occupation, family size, medicine form, and quantity were collected.

    • Main Results:

    • Only community, father's occupation, and medicine form significantly influenced medication compliance.
    • No single factor consistently determined MC across all participants.
    • Poverty and negligence were identified as critical factors impacting MC.

    Conclusions:

    • Pediatric medication compliance is multifactorial, with socioeconomic and logistical elements being key.
    • Targeted interventions addressing poverty and parental negligence are necessary to improve MC.
    • Healthcare providers should consider community, parental occupation, and medicine formulation when assessing pediatric adherence.
