Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of treatment adherence and associated characteristics in outpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. A total of 208 type 2 diabetic outpatients at Trung Vuong Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City were interviewed using a structured questionnaire on several aspects of treatment adherence. Adherence was 68.3% for medication use, 44.7% for physical activity, 38% for nutrition, and 16.3% for glycaemic control. During the COVID-19 pandemic, 84.1% of patients were reported with negatively affected treatment adherence. Factors associated with treatment adherence included employment status, age groups, accommodation, level of academic, status of economic and duration of treatment, and the time of diagnosis. Because treatment adherence rates are still low, there is a need to develop counselling and support measures for type 2 diabetic patients in order to boost treatment adherence.
