“…In contrast, the findings of Dabaghian's study show an inverse relationship between drug complexity and MA [10]. This finding can be due to the attitude and opinion of the patients under study towards medication treatment, who consider the high prescription of drugs by the doctor as an effective indicator of recovery [33]. Therefore, the high level of MA in people with more drug complexity can be justified by this issue.…”

Introduction: Medication adherence plays an important role in preventing the worsening of cardiovascular disease. Some factors associated with medication adherence are still unknown. Objective: This study aimed to determine the factors related to medication adherence in patients with coronary artery disease. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was performed on 367 cardiovascular patients by consecutive sampling. The patients were referred to the specialized cardiology clinic in Rasht City, Iran, from January 2019 to June 2020. A data collection form and questionnaires of cardiac anxiety, anxiety depression and stress, and medication adherence were used. The obtained data were analyzed by the Chi-square test, Fisher exact test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Mann-Whitney U test, and logistic regression model. The significance level was considered less than 0.05. Results: Most samples were men (61.85%). The mean ± SD age of the samples was 59.9 ± 10.9 years. About 20.7% had high adherence, and 78.75% had moderate adherence. Factors related to medication adherence included employment or being retired (OR=4.0, 95%CI; 1-16.6, P=0.054), income level (OR= 5.1, 95%CI; 1.6-16.6, P=0.007), supplemental insurance (OR= 0.217, 95%CI; 0.07-0.66, P=0.007), living alone (OR= 10.187, 95%CI;1.980-52.404, P=0.005), living with spouse and children (OR= 3.776, 95%CI; 1.580-9.023, P=0.054), history of hyperlipidemia (OR= 3.2, 95%CI; 1.2-8.4, P=0.019), history of stent implantation (OR= 2.9 95%CI; 1.2-7, P=0.016), depression (OR=0.74, 95%CI; 0.66-0.83, P=0.0001), anxiety (OR= 1.3, 95%CI; 1.1-1.4, P=0.0001), avoidance (OR=0.69, 95%CI; 0.56-0.86, P=0.0001), attention (OR= 1.5, 95%CI; 1.2-1.8, P=0.0001), and medication complexity (OR= 2.7, 95%CI; 1-6.8, P=0.04). Conclusion: According to the identified related factors, it may be possible to decline anxiety and depression symptoms by improving the related factors and follow-up of care programs. As a result, cardiovascular patients are helped by preventing readmission, cardiac event, and mortality.

Introduction Diabetes is becoming an increasingly common condition across the world including Brunei Darussalam. Bruneian population, although is relatively small, represents a miniature urban community of neighbouring Southeast Asian countries as they share similar dietary and ethnicity patterns. Thus, it would be valuable to examine the findings of studies conducted among Bruneians. This study aimed to identify and review research related to the practice of patients with DM in Brunei Darussalam in order to identify associated factors influencing diabetic medication knowledge and adherence. Methods This narrative review analyzed literature related to DM and its therapy in Brunei Darussalam. Other issues consisting of knowledge and adherence related to DM were also explored. Databases (Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar) were used to search literature published up to May 2022. Search terms “diabetes mellitus”, “Brunei” combined using Boolean operator were used. Results and Discussion Conducting appropriate studies in Brunei Darussalam can benefit the government and policymakers to implement effective measures and programmes to combat the diabetes epidemic. Despite the government’s efforts, additional relevant stakeholders must be included in order to work together and engage in these initiatives in order to increase diabetes awareness, give people the power to make healthy decisions, and ultimately reduce the prevalence of diabetes in Brunei Darussalam. Patients’ medication knowledge proficiency plays a main component of ensuring appropriate and safe use of medication prescribed to them. Conclusion Relatively poor medication knowledge and inappropriate diabetes-related practices were observed in studies conducted in Brunei Darussalam. However, no study has been done which directly measures both medication awareness and compliance among Brunei Darussalam T2DM patients. Future studies can focus on the relation between these two factors in different geographical locations of the world that are characterized by different diabetes-related practices and culture.

Nonadherence to antihypertensives is prevalent and is associated with poorer health outcomes. This study aimed to identify psychological factors associated with adherence in patients taking antihypertensives as these are potentially modifiable, and can, therefore, inform the development of effective interventions to increase adherence. PubMed, EMBASE and PsychINFO were searched to identify studies that tested for significant associations between psychological domains and adherence to antihypertensives. The domains reported were categorized according to the Theoretical Domains Framework. The quality of included studies was evaluated using the National Institute for Clinical Excellence critical appraisal of questionnaire checklist. Thirty-one studies were included. Concerns about medicines (a subdomain of 'beliefs about consequences') and 'beliefs about capabilities' consistently showed association with adherence in over five studies. Healthcare professionals should actively ask patients if they have any concerns about their antihypertensives and their belief in their ability to control their blood pressure through taking antihypertensives.
