Abstract: (524 Views)
Background and Objective: Medication adherence is an important modifiable factor influencing the control of type 2 diabetes. The serious complications of diabetes affect various aspects of a person's life, leading to negative impacts on the individual's quality of life (QOL). The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between medication adherence and QOL in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, 229 patients with type 2 diabetes enrolled in comprehensive urban health centers affiliated to Babol University of Medical Sciences were selected using convenience sampling. Three questionnaires were used to collect data: demographics, medication adherence rating scale (MARS), and QOL. The data were analyzed using SPSS 26.
Findings: The mean and standard deviation of the patients' age was 50.18 ± 10.01. The mean score of medication adherence was 4.97 ± 1.62. The results showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between the score of medication adherence and QOL (P=0.001).
Conclusion: Given the significant relationship between medication adherence and QOL, it is suggested that a step be taken to improve the QOL of these patients by educating patients and trying to increase medication adherence.
