“…Study conducted on 256 Mexican American patients showed that good self-care associated with lower HbA1c levels [36][37][38], Study conducted in India showed that good practice associated with good glycaemic control [39] and similarly in Study conducted in Jimma university specialized hospital [40]. In study conducted in Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital revealed that 55.6% respondents were adhered to diabetes Self-Management practices [41,42].…”

Background: Diabetes self-care behaviour adherence is considered to be the cornerstone in diabetes care. Hence, the success of long-term maintenance therapy for diabetes depends largely on the patients' adherence with self-care behaviour. and data were collected by using interviewer administered questionnaires. The data were entered into EPI-DATA version 3.1, and analysed by Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 20.0. Descriptive statistics were used for most variables; a bivariate analysis was employed to determine the presence of association between adherence to self-care behaviour with other variables at P-value less than 0.05. Multi-variable logistic regression was performed to identify independent predictors of glycaemic control and self-care behaviour adherence. Results:One hundred ninty four type 2 diabetics were participated in this study and 99 (51.0%) were Females. Mean age of participants was 50.3(±13.2) years, and 41.2% had good self-care behaviour adherence. Above one half (57.2%) had diabetes duration less than five years, with mean duration of diabetes 5.02 ± 3.8 years. Conclusion:In our study area adherence to self-care behaviour of the study subjects were low. So strategies that can improve these discrepancies like provision of diabetes self-care education and counselling especially on importance of self-monitoring of blood glucose, physical activity and problem solving should be considered by responsible bodies.

“…Several studies have found age to be related to increased compliance (Sirey, Bruce, Alexopoulos, Perlick, Friedman, & Meyers, 2001;Kim et al, 2002;Senior, Marteau, & Weinman, 2004;Hertz, Unger, & Lustik, 2005). A few studies have found elderly patients to be more noncompliant than their younger counterparts (Benner, Glynn, Mogun, Neuman, Weinstein, & Avorn, 2002;Balbay,Annakkaya, Arbak, Bilgin, & Erbas, 2005).…”

“…Thus, we still need to identify factors that may explain why patients do not take their medications. Jin, Sklar, Min Sen Oh, & Chuen, 2008;Hertz, Unger, & Lustik, 2005;Yu, Nicol, Yu, & Ahn, 2005;Obisesan, Vargas, & Gillum, 2000;Yanos, 2001;Sherman et al, 2009;Billups, Malone, & Carter, 2000;Schmittdiel et al, 2009). For the Part D population, current studies assessing the effect of Part D on medication compliance have typically focused on patient OOP costs (Schmittdiel et al, 2009 Our primary research objective was to assess non-compliance among Medicare Part D recipients for eight therapeutic classes of cardiovascular medication classes: antianginals, antihypertensives, antiarrhythmics, antihyperlipidemics, beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, cardiotonics, and diuretics.…”

OBJECTIVES:(1) to assess non-compliance among Medicare Part D recipients for the cardiovascular medication classes; (2) to identify the probability of noncompliance for each medication class when controlling for the potential risk factors of age, gender, race/ethnic origin, census region, disease burden, dual eligibility enrollment status, Part D plan status, relative out-of-pocket (OOP) non-class costs, and relative OOP daily class costs.

Background: Non-adherence to diabetes care is a concern at Bishop Lavis Community Health Centre (BLCHC) as it results in many diabetes complications that could have been avoided. The aim was to explore the reasons for people with diabetes in the Bishop Lavis area being non-adherent to diabetes care. Methods:A qualitative study was undertaken. Focus groups and in-depth interviews were conducted with patients who had uncontrolled blood sugar and non-compliance. The framework method was used to analyse the data. Results:The main findings in this study were that the following had a negative impact on compliance with diabetes care: (1) poor knowledge of diabetes mellitus; (2) drug treatment barriers such as shift work and not knowing the importance of taking medication regularly; (3) lifestyle adjustment barriers: dietary barriers and lack of exercise; (4) staff and clinic visit problems, for example over-burdened public health-care facilities; and (5) poor support structures including support from family, the community and financially as well as poor infrastructure. Conclusion:The main findings in this study were consistent with many of the previous studies done on adherence, i.e. patient barriers, disease and drug-regime barriers and doctor-patient relationship barriers. However, in this poverty-stricken area these participants also face other constraints that influence their compliance behaviour. These include (1) over-burdened public health care facilities, (2) insufficient education, (3) poor support structures, (4) infrastructure that is not wheelchair-friendly, (5) unsafe communities, (6) low income and unemployment.
