“…Moreover, no association to HbA1c was found. Analogous to our results, in a study done in Nigeria in 2015, demographic data showed that only sex had a signi cant relationship with medication adherence, and no signi cant association was found among other factors [47].…”

Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between blood groups and personality types, and medication adherence in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods 302 patients with T2DM were considered in the study. Their sociodemographic information and medical history were recorded. Type D personality and medical adherence were checked using DS-14 and MMAS-8 questionnaires, respectively. Blood samples were obtained from the patients to determine the types of ABO blood groups, HbA1c, fasting blood sugar and lipid profile. Results No significant association was found between the patients' characteristics including demographic and laboratory information and medical adherence to treatment. However, a significant difference in medical adherence was observed between patients with type D personality; According to logistic regression model, patients with type D (OR: 6.23, (95%CI: 2.34–16.55, P < 0.001) had better adherence to medication, while the blood groups was not associated with medical adherence to treatment. Conclusion Type D personality cannot impair medical adherence in these patients. There was an association between type D personality and the ABO blood group, but the ABO blood group was not related to medical adherence.

“…Além disso, estiveram todos de acordo com o que a literatura vem afirmando, sobre os fatores mais adaptativos da personalidade estarem relacionados ao comportamento de adesão e enfrentamento das doenças crônicas (Christensen et al, 2002;Axelsson et. al., 2011;Adeniran et al, 2015;Costa et al, 2018).…”

“…Já o estudo de Adeniran et al (2015) com pacientes portadores de Diabetes Mellitus, constatou que os traços de personalidade podem influenciar a adesão ao tratamento, e principalmente aqueles com alta pontuação no fator Neuroticismo, que demonstram dificuldades em aderir aos recursos terapêuticos. Na mesma direção, Axelsson, Brink, Lundgren e Lötvall (2011) verificaram que em pacientes com doença crônica a baixa adesão também estava relacionada com uma maior pontuação em Neuroticismo e menor em Realização.…”

São diversas as variáveis que interferem no tratamento de doenças graves e crônicas, sendo uma delas a personalidade. Assim, o presente estudo teve como objetivo identificar os traços de personalidade relacionados com comportamento de adesão ao tratamento de saúde em grupos hemodíalitico e oncológico. Participaram da pesquisa 50 pacientes, sendo 68% mulheres, com média de idade de 53,64 anos (DP=15,37), em que 30 estavam em tratamento hemodilítico e 20 em tratamento oncológico. Foram aplicados um Questionário Socioeconômico, um Questionário de Autoavaliação da Adesão ao Tratamento de Saúde e os Marcadores Reduzidos para Avaliação da Personalidade. Nos resultados foi possível verificar que traços de personalidade como Socialização e Conscienciosidade se correlacionam positivamente ao comportamento de adesão em ambos os grupos. Com esses dados é possível verificar que considerar a personalidade de cada paciente é importante para auxiliá-lo no processo de enfrentamento e na adesão do tratamento fornecido.

“…Illness related factors like side effects of medications, beliefs about the illness, treatments complexity and lack of insight are barriers to medication adherence (11). The beliefs about medication which influence non adherence are moderated by specific personality traits (12). Personality trait can predict healthcare utilization as well as health outcomes (13).In Italy neuroticism and conscientiousness were the most personality traits associated with psychotropic medication non adherence.…”

BackgroundMental illnesses, like other chronic illnesses, require medications for both immediate, short term and long term treatment. Medication adherence is the first and most important factor for better treatment outcome. Non-adherence to psychotropic medications is associated with relapse, readmission, and early death. The beliefs about medication which influence non-adherence to medications are moderated by specific personality traits. Sociodemographic and clinical factors can also influence non-adherence psychotropic medications. Non-adherence to psychotropic medications is high in Africa but there is paucity of published studies on the level of psychotropic medication non-adherence and associated personality traits in Uganda.AimTo determine the prevalence of psychotropic medication non-adherence and associated personality traits among people with mental illness attending Kampala International University Teaching Hospital (KIU-TH) and Jinja Regional Referral Hospital (JRRH).MethodsThis study employed a hospital-based cross-sectional design. 396 adult patients suffering from mental illness were collected from KIU-TH and JRRH outpatient clinics. Medication adherence was assessed using Medication Adherence Rating Scale (MARS) while personality traits were assessed by the short form of Big Five Inventory (Ten Items Personality Inventory). We first assessed sociodemographic and clinical factors influencing psychotropic medication non-adherence in our study (confounders). A questionnaire with sociodemographic and clinical information was also used. Logistic regression was used to assess personality traits and other factors associated with psychotropic medication non-adherence.ResultsThe majority of the study participants were males (59.1%), from rural areas (74.2%), with secondary educational level (47.5%) and unemployed (44.9%). The prevalence of psychotropic medication was 46.21%. Poor family support (aOR= 6.915, CI=3.679-12.998, P<0.001), belief in witchcraft/sorcery (aOR=2.959, CI=1.488-5.884, P=0.002), experiencing side effects (aOR=2.257, CI=1.326-3.843, P=0.003), and substance use (aOR=4.174, CI=2.121-8.214, P<0.001) were factors significantly associated with psychotropic medication non-adherence. The personality traits significantly associated with psychotropic medication non-adherence after controlling for the confounders were neuroticism (aOR=7.424, CI=3.890-14.168, P<0.001) and agreeableness (aOR=0.062, CI=0.024-0.160, P<0.001).ConclusionMedication non-adherence was high. Non-adherent patients were more likely to have predominant neuroticism personality traits. Medication non-adherence was shown to be less common in individuals with agreeableness personality traits. Other factors associated with psychotropic medication non-adherence were poor social support, witchcraft beliefs, presence of side effects and substance use. Reinforced psycho-education should be given to patients with high risk of being non-adherent to psychotropic medications.
