Abstract

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes is a common non-communicable disease and a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. This study aims to analyze the use of medications and assess treatment adherence among outpatient type 2 diabetes patients at Tam Bình Health Center, Vĩnh Long Province, in 2025. Objectives: 1) To survey the situation of medication use for treating type 2 diabetes. 2) To determine the rate of adherence to treatment among type 2 diabetes. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 300 patients aged 18 and older who are receiving outpatient treatment for type 2 diabetes at Tam Bình Health Center, Vĩnh Long Province. Results: The study found that the most commonly used medication for type 2 diabetes was Metformin (42.33%), followed by Sulfonylurea (37.67%), Thiazolidinediones (11.33%), DPP-4 inhibitors (4.67%), and Incretin mimetics (4%). The majority of patients (62.67%) used fewer than 3 types of medications, with 96% using oral medications. Regarding treatment adherence, only 28% of patients adhered to their prescribed treatment, while 72% did not, indicating a significant challenge in managing type 2 diabetes. Statistically significant factors influencing adherence included education level (higher adherence with higher education) and comorbid conditions, particularly lipid metabolism disorders. Conclusions: The adherence rate to medication treatment for type 2 diabetes was only 28%, with a high proportion of non-adherence (72%). Recommendations include: 1) Conducting prospective studies to clearly assess the impact of non-adherence on patient health. 2) Strengthening health education and awareness programs to improve treatment adherence.
