TL;DR
Self-efficacy regarding the use of prescribed medication is related to compliance with this treatment and the relation between adherence to Sulphasalazine therapy and personal factors, environmental influences, demographic factors, disease-related factors, and barriers to compliance is analyzed.
Abstract
persons suffering recently developed, active RA, who cooperated in a randomized study on the effect of patient education. We analyzed the relation between adherence to Sulphasalazine therapy and personal factors, environmental influences, demographic factors, disease-related factors, and barriers to compliance. Moreover, a logistical regression analysis was performed on these factors, considering > or = 80% a high compliance, both with compliance as dependent factor. Only self-efficacy correlated with compliance (r = 0.58; P or = 80% adherence (P = 0.01). Self-efficacy regarding the use of prescribed medication is related to compliance with this treatment. Further study is needed to determine the test characteristics of self-efficacy as a predictor for compliance with medication.
