“…This difference of more than 10% could be a consequence of the distinct characteristics of the samples. In the present study, for example, there was a higher number of married people, with more than eight years of education and who belonged to the A and B economic levels, which positively affects the adherence process ( 2 , 9 ) . However, the predominance of people who did not adhere to the drug therapy in others studies that used the Morisky-Green-Levine and Batalla tests ( 7 , 15 ) and manual count of pills ( 16 ) is lower than that found in this study, approximately 30% ( 7 , 15 - 16 ) .…”

“…Therefore, one of the main duties of nurses when providing care to patients with SAH and their families in the primary healthcare is to seek prevention of illnesses and promoting health. Thus, during the nursing appointments and the Hiperdia groups, professionals should perform health education actions, encouraging the supported self-care, so that people, families and groups can develop skills that enable them to act consciously in relation to changeable risk factors, among them the adherence to drug therapy ( 2 ) .…”

“…One of the main causes of the negative effects caused by SAH is the non-adherence to hypertensive treatment, as well as the late diagnosis and the prolonged asymptomatic course of the disease, which resulted in the development of studies in the area ( 2 - 5 ) . Estimates point out that the degree of the non-adherence to the treatments of Chronic Diseases (CD) worldwide ranges from 25% to 50% ( 6 ) .…”

Objectivesto identify the degree of knowledge of people with hypertension concerning the disease and to verify the factors associated with the non-adherence to anti-hypertensive drug therapy.MethodCross sectional study, involving 422 people. Data collection took place at their homes, between December 2011 and March 2012, through interviews using the following instruments: Medication Adherence Questionnaire (MAQ-Q), Medication Regimen Complexity Index (MRCI) and a guide with questions related to sociodemographic profile, satisfaction with healthcare service and knowledge about the disease.Results42.6% did not adhere to the drug therapy and 17.7% had poor knowledge about the disease. Factors associated with the non-adherence were: complex drug therapy, poor knowledge about the disease and dissatisfaction with the healthcare service.ConclusionThe findings reinforce that the complex drug therapy prescriptions, little knowledge about the disease and dissatisfaction with the healthcare service have influence on the process of non-adherence to anti-hypertensive drug therapy.

“…They may not have adhered to treatment because of rapid improvement in symptoms, the long distance between their homes and the health unit, or because they do not consider malaria as a disease that merits concern. Adherence to treatment is a complex phenomenon that involves multidimensional issues in terms of physical, psychological, socio-environmental, and cultural aspects [34]. Adherence may be affected by the patient´s motivation or trust in treatment, access to free medication and its short duration scheme, as well as a good relationship with health professionals and appropriate guidelines concerning drugs and their effects that they offer.…”

Introduction: Malaria remains an important public health problem despite recent scientific breakthroughs regarding knowledge about malaria and treatment strategies. The objective of this study was to analyze malaria patients' knowledge about the disease, its treatment and prevention, linking it to drug treatment adherence. Methodology: A descriptive, cross-sectional, epidemiological survey study was conducted in the district of Três Fronteiras-MT. The study included 618 individuals who were interviewed and examined for Plasmodium infection. Of the 52 patients diagnosed with malaria, 27 were visited at home for an interview about malaria knowledge and treatment adherence. Treatment adherence was evaluated by self-reports and drug conference. Results: A total of 18 patients had satisfactory knowledge (66.6%) and 9 were evaluated as having unsatisfactory knowledge (33.4%) about malaria. Of the 27 malaria patients, 21 (77.8%) reported having taken all the medication as prescribed, in the correct period of time and dosage, and had no medication tablets remaining. The majority (72.2%) of patients who had satisfactory knowledge, as well as the majority (88.8%) of those who had unsatisfactory knowledge, adhered to the malaria treatment. Conclusions: This study revealed a high proportion of patients with satisfactory prior knowledge about malaria and revealed that this knowledge was not related to disease treatment adherence. These results have implications for planning strategies for malaria control in the region and could contribute to the reduction in the cases of non-adherence to malaria treatment.
