The authors of the article raise the issue of compliance, which in translation from English means the patient's willingness to follow the doctor's prescriptions, including pharmacotherapy recommendations. It is noted that compliance reflects the degree of patient involvement in the treatment process and depends on a number of factors, including motivation, level of awareness about the disease, psycho-emotional state, and social conditions.
An important aspect highlighted by the authors is the need for a trusting interaction between the doctor and the patient, as well as the significance of educational programs aimed at increasing the level of medical literacy among the population.
During the study, specialized questionnaires and scales were used. Various practical methods were also applied to enhance treatment adherence, such as individual consultations, reminders, and visual materials (photos, slides, videos). In some cases, information was transmitted to patients via messengers.
The authors emphasize an interdisciplinary approach, highlighting the need for collaboration between medical and psychological specialists. The paper also discusses how adherence to medical recommendations affects the effectiveness of treatment and the economic aspects of therapy.
In conclusion, the study emphasizes that compliance is a critically important element of successful treatment and requires a comprehensive approach that includes both psychological and educational measures, as well as organizational efforts.
