Medication non-adherence is a major healthcare issue. This study shows that both thinking (cognitive) and feeling (affective) processes significantly influence medication adherence, supporting a dual-process framework.
Area of Science:
- Health Psychology
- Behavioral Medicine
- Patient Adherence Research
Background:
- Medication non-adherence contributes significantly to healthcare costs and hospitalizations.
- Understanding the psychological drivers of adherence is crucial for effective interventions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the role of affect in medication adherence.
- To propose and test a dual-process framework for medication adherence.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional study was conducted with 525 participants.
- The study examined both cognitive and affective factors influencing adherence.
Main Results:
- The proposed dual-process framework was supported by the data.
- Both cognitive and affective processes were found to play a significant role in medication adherence.
Conclusions:
- Affective factors are important determinants of medication adherence.
- A comprehensive understanding of adherence requires considering both reflective (cognitive) and impulsive (affective) processes.
