EVALUATION OF TREATMENT ADHERENCE OF PATIENTS WITH RECURRENT BLEEDING ULCERATIVE COLITIS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Research objective: To evaluate the treatment adherence of patients with recurrent bleeding ulcerative colitis at Hanoi Medical University Hospital and factors affecting the patient’s compliance rate. Methods: descriptive longitudinal follow-up, retrospective combined prospective study. Results: a study on 40 patients with recurrent bleeding ulcerative colitis at Hanoi Medical University Hospital. The rate of adherence to drug use reached 57.5%, non-adherence to drug use accounted for 42.5%. Causes of non-adherence to medication use: self-discontinuation in the absence of stool disorders (55%) and side effects (52.5%). Factors that significantly influence patient adherence to medication use such as education level, number of years of illness, number of medications, frequency of medication use, adverse reactions, knowledge of the disease, and especially relationship doctor-patient relationship. Conclusion: The effectiveness of the treatment depends on both the effect of the drug and the patient’s adherence to the treatment regimen. Therefore, it is very important to control the patient’s adherence to medication.
