“…Sherbourne and her colleagues (1992) hypothesized that patients who are in poor health might adhere less because they may feel frustrated and hopeless and they may come to believe that their behaviours have no effect on their health. As previous studies have shown, patients who believe in the benefits of their treatment and who believe that their behaviours can have positive outcomes tend to adhere more to doctors' recommendations (Becker, 1977, DiMatteo, 1994DiMatteo et al, 1994;Horne & Weinman, 1999).…”

“…It appears that cognitive factors are better predictors of adherence than personal characteristics (Mann, Ponieman, Leventhal, & Halm, 2009). It has been shown that patients who believe that the treatment can have some benefits (Foster, Smith, Bosnic-Anticevich, Usherwood, Sawyer, Rand, & Reddel, 2011;Horne & Weinman, 1999), a disease can have serious consequences (DiMatteo, Haskard & Williams, 2007;Stafford, Jackson & Berk, 2008), they are susceptible to a disease (Becker, 1977), they have the ability to carry out the prescribed treatment regimen (Brus, van de Laar, Taal, Rasker & Wiegman, 1999;Dilorio et al, 2009), and those who have a positive attitude toward the treatment (Miller, Wikoff, Hiatt, 1992) and have more knowledge about diseases or health in general (Gellad, Grenard, & Marcum, 2011) adhere more to doctors' prescribed treatment regimens.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate factors related to patients' adherence to prescribed medications and recommended lifestyle changes. Two hundred and ninety-eight adults from a northern Canadian community filled out a questionnaire. Several intriguing findings emerged: (a) Adherence to lifestyle changes and participants' age presented a U-shape relationship; (b) Those who perceived themselves to be in poor health were less likely than those in good health to adhere to lifestyle changes; (c) Barriers such as the severe winter weather, lack of transportation, and cost of medications contributed negatively to adherence; and (d) If doctors provided sufficient information on the benefits and use of the prescribed medications and the proposed lifestyle changes and if patients reported trusting their doctors, they tended to adhere more. Physicians can play an important role in promoting adherence among patients. Community health workers should make efforts in reducing barriers that interfere with patient adherence.

“…Becker (1977Becker ( , 1990 proposed the Health Belief Model (HBM), which posits that personal cognitions influence healthcare behaviors. The HBM is predictive of healthcare behaviors in late adolescents (for review, see Janz & Becker, 1984;Reyna & Farley, 2006) and has been identified as a model for health promotion and behavior change that is developmentally appropriate for application to adolescents (Pan American Health Organization, 2005).…”

Late adolescence and early adulthood is a time when people establish many of their life-style behaviors. Thus, in order to promote optimal health, it is important to identify factors predictive of young adults' healthcare behavior. This study evaluated the relationship between measures of childhood healthcare experience, healthcare attitudes, and optimism with young adults' healthcare behavior in a sample of college students (n = 100). Results suggested that prior healthcare experience, attitudes about healthcare, and optimism are associated with current healthcare behavior. In addition, the relation between childhood healthcare experience and current healthcare behavior was moderated by optimism, such that those who reported both more negative childhood healthcare experiences and low levels of optimism reported the least adaptive healthcare behaviors and those who reported the most positive childhood healthcare experience and the highest levels of optimism reported the most adaptive healthcare behavior.
