Abstract

Introduction: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a highly prevalent condition; however, the treatment adherence among patients is not yet optimal, leading to prolonged treatment duration that significantly impacts health and may result in severe complications. Objectives: The study aims to achieve two objectives: 1) to determine the rate, level of adherence, and factors associated with non-adherence to treatment; and 2) to evaluate the outcomes of communication interventions to enhance treatment adherence in COPD patients at Ca Mau General Hospital from 2022 to 2023. Materials and methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study with combined analysis and non-concurrent intervention was conducted on 332 COPD patients. Results: Among the 332 study subjects, good adherence accounted for 6.9%, moderate adherence accounted for 12.7%, and poor adherence was the highest at 80.4%. Treatment adherence varied significantly based on education level, occupation, number of medications used, and knowledge of complications. Before the intervention, treatment adherence was observed in 65 cases (19.6%), while after the intervention, it increased to 260 cases (78.3%). The difference before and after the intervention was statistically significant with a p-value of <0.001. Conclusion: Treatment adherence depends on multiple factors; however, timely interventions using appropriate measures can significantly improve treatment adherence in COPD patients.
