    • Understanding the root causes of this noncompliance is crucial for improving patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the application of cognitive dissonance theory in understanding patient noncompliance.
    • To examine how the perceptual properties of medications influence patient adherence.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of recent research and empirical evidence on medication noncompliance.
