“…This study explored therapeutic adherence and the factors contributing to the adherence of diabetic patients in Jazan region. Non adherence with medication in this study was similar to the earlier finding in Egypt [7], Palestine [10], France [4], Poland [14] and Saudi Arabia [11] In Palestine study, non-compliance was divided into two categories ( 51.4 % poor compliance and 6.5 % noncompliance ) [10]. In France the non-compliance was divided into two categories also (49% medium adherence and 12% poor adherence ) [4].…”

“…Female patients were found by some researchers to have better adherence [15] while some studies suggested otherwise [16]. In addition, some studies could not find a relationship between gender and adherence to medication, this difference may be due to geographical variation in their education, and social factors [7].…”

“…A third type is the appointment non-adherence in which the patient fails to show up at the clinics for the scheduled check up. The consequences of medication non-adherence may not only be dangerous for patient's health, but also dramatically increase the financial costs of public health services [7] [8] There are several methods are used to measure therapeutic adherence. Indirect methods, like self reports and interviews with patient, are the simplest and most common methods for measuring medication adherence (Girerd et al) .…”

Int. J. A dv. Res. 5(1), 966-974Background: Although adherence to prescribed medications is a key dimension of healthcare quality, there is no information about the magnitude of compliance of the diabetic patients in Jazan region of Saudi Arabia. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to measure the rate of adherence and the factors contributing to compliance among the diabetic patients in Jazan region.Methods: A total of 273 Type 2 diabetic patients who fulfill the inclusion criteria were recruited in the study. Adherence to the treatment was evaluated during patients' attending to the usual appointment in the randomly selected Primary Health Care centers and Diabetic Centers in Jazan region. The medication adherence was assessed during a personal interview using the 8-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8).Results:Twenty Three Percent of patients reported good medication adherence, 38.8 % medium adherence and 37.6 % poor medication adherence. The factors significantly associated with adherence in univariate analysis were socio-demographic factors: residence ( p = 0.02) and distance from the health care center ( p = 0.023 ); disease and health care related factors: Regularly attending to the appointments (p= 0.038) and HbA1c >8 ( p= 0.06 ).Conclusion: The findings indicate that there is a high rate of non-compliance among the diabetes patients in Jazan region of Saudi Arabia and there is a definite need for improvement in the healthcare system, health education, and training of diabetic patients.

INTRODUCTIONEpilepsy affects 70 million people worldwide.(1) Long-term antiepileptic drug (AED) administration remains the mainstay of epilepsy treatment. In up to 67% of patients with epilepsy (PWE), AEDs effectively eliminate or reduce the frequency of seizures.(2) Medication adherence refers to the extent to which a patient's behaviour corresponds with the recommendations of a health professional. Medication adherence is usually better when there is greater patient involvement in the treatment choice, as well as cooperation and mutual agreement between the health provider and the patient.(2) Nonadherence rates among PWE are reported to be 30%-50%.(3) It is well established that patients with suboptimal adherence levels are more likely to have seizures that are associated with increased number of hospital admissions and healthcare costs.(4) Factors influencing adherence to AEDs have been described; these include patient-, treatment-and health system-related factors.(5) The promotion of medication adherence is considered to be an important component of pharmaceutical care practice. Several methods have been used to measure therapeutic adherence, including self-report, pill count, appointment attendance, medication refill history, blood or urine drug levels and drug diary.(6) Indirect methods, such as self-reports and patient interviews, are the simplest and most common methods used for measuring medication adherence. (7,8) To date, most of the studies conducted to evaluate AED adherence among PWE did not account for the influence of a wide range of variables (e.g. demographic, disease and treatment patterns). There are not many studies in the Indian literature that examine the factors that influence AED adherence. Identifying the factors associated with AED adherence would allow the development of strategies to improve adherence. Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate the pattern and extent of AED adherence among PWE and to identify the factors that influence adherence. METHODSThis cross-sectional study was conducted by the Division of Clinical Pharmacology at the outpatient and inpatient clinics of the Department of Neurology, St John's Medical College and Hospital, Bangalore, India, over a period of 1.5 years (January 2012 to July 2013). Ethical approval was obtained from the institution's Ethical Review Board. Patients aged ≥ 18 years who were receiving AED treatment were eligible for inclusion in the study. Only those who gave their consent for participation were enrolled. Pregnant or lactating women and patients with comorbidities were excluded from the study.Data was collected using a specially designed case record form that included items on demographic/family history, seizure history, duration of epilepsy, AEDs prescribed and occurrence of
