From Compliance to Adherence in Diabetes Self-Care: Examining the Role of Patient’s Potential for Mindful Non-Adherence and Physician-Patient Communication

Abstract

Purpose: To examine the roles of patient mindful non-adherence and physician-patient communication as important factors that facilitate an understanding of the relationship between compliance and adherence in diabetes management.
Design: A cross-sectional survey
Setting: Online data collection
Subjects: 365 respondents at least 18 years of age and currently in treatment for diabetes
Measures: We measured patients’ compliance, adherence, mindfulness, and perceptions about physician-patient communication, as well as their demographic characteristics.
Analysis: A moderated mediation analysis was conducted to examine the conditioned indirect effect of compliance on adherence.
Results: The direct effect of compliance on adherence was positive and significant (β = .378, SE = .073, p < .05, BootCI [.234, .521]), but the compliance-adherence association was also partially mediated by patient’s potential for mindful non-adherence. A higher level of compliance increased potential for mindful non-adherence (β = .716, SE = .082, p < .05, BootCI [.555, .876]), and, in turn, the increased potential for mindful non-adherence reduced adherence (β = -.107, SE = .045, p < .05, BootCI [-.196, -.018]). This detrimental mediating effect of potential for mindful non-adherence was contingent on the perceived quality of physician-patient communication (index = .076, SE = .038, 95% BootCI [.003, .153]), indicating that the positive perception significantly reduced the negative mediating effect of potential for mindful non-adherence on adherence.


Adherence to Treatment of Cardiac Patients: Approaches to Assessment, Ways to Increase and Prognostic Value

“…Сложившееся к началу текущего столетия терминологическое многообразие, описывающее отношение пациента к исполнению медицинских предписаний, впоследствии продолжало расширяться, как за счет введения в оборот синонимов, так и за счет придания определениям смысловых www.jscientia.org нюансов. С другой стороны, во многих источниках термины комплаенс, приверженность и близкие к ним стали использоваться как взаимозаменяемые синонимы [1,[9][10][11].…”

Predicting Treatment Plan Adherence Based on Mindfulness and Self-efficacy Beliefs in Patients with Chronic Pain

“…Soyoon & Ekaterina (19) argue that when patients effectively engage in self-care behaviors, they can better connect with their bodies. Mindfulness brings awareness to the present moment and bodily sensations, including both pleasant and unpleasant feelings, through meditation practices or physical awareness.…”

Patient-centered care in diabetes care-concepts, relationships and practice

“…In diabetes care, goal setting is generally conducted by physicians who collaborate with patients to set short-term and specific goals[ 58 ], such as diet-related goals[ 59 ], and feedback is also provided by physicians. Patients and doctors are usually involved in established partnerships and collaborations[ 60 ]. Evidence has shown that a patient-empowerment approach using collaborative goal setting improves A1C[ 61 ].…”
