Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to assess medication adherence and some related factors of inflammatory bowel disease patients (IBD) at Hanoi Medical University Hospital. Methods: A cross-sectional study, applying convenient sampling method, selecting patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD) treated at Hanoi Medical University Hospital with ages ≥ 18 and time to take IBD medications for ≥ 1 month. Patients was excluded when they had mental problems. MARS-5 (Medication Adherence Report Scale – 5) was used to measure medication adherence, scores from 23 to 25 are defined as compliance. Results: Fifty-eight patients with UC and fifty-two patients with CD participated in the study. Most patients had a disease duration from less than 1 year to 3 years (68.2%) and were treated with 5-ASA derivatives. The medication adherence rate among the study participants was 59.1%. On univariate analysis, factors had significant association with medication adherence included subtype of IBD, disease duration of more than 3 years, using biologics, using parenteral/infusion medications, and receiving advice from nurse. On multivariate analysis, while adjusting for other factors, subjects receiving advice from nurse had a significantly higher chance of medication adherence. Conclusion: The rate of medication adherence of IBD patients is still low. Receiving advice from nurse can help improve medication adherence in IBD patients
