Background and Objectives:
Dyslipidemia has significant risks for health, and the importance of medication adherence in the management and prevention of complications is emphasized. Patient beliefs about drug treatment may influence their adherence to treatment. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of investigating the relationship between the beliefs related to drug therapy and the level of adherence to the treatment of dyslipidemia patients.
Methods:
This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted in Hamedan's specialized endocrine clinic in the period of 2022-2023, in which 243 patients with dyslipidemia participated. After obtaining written informed consent, the patients were asked to fill in the demographic information checklist, medication adherence questionnaire, and medication beliefs. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26 software at a significance level of less than 5%.
Results:
Between the medication adherence of dyslipidemia patients and their beliefs about medication in general (P<0.001) as well as the subscales of people's beliefs about physicians methods for prescribing medication (P<0.001), patients' beliefs about harm Drug (P<0.001), worry about drug treatment (P=0.016) and also a positive and significant correlation was observed between general belief and medication adherence (P<0.001).
Conclusion:
Patients with dyslipidemia who have positive beliefs are more likely to take their medications as prescribed by the physician. Therefore, health care professionals, especially physicians and nurses, should assess patients' beliefs about their medications and provide them with accurate and relevant information and education. In this way, the motivation and confidence of patients in managing blood lipid disorders with drugs may increase.
