TL;DR
One of the main barriers to the effectiveness of interventions in osteoarthritis is adherence to treatment interventions and advice, and, although information is available from other diseases, little is known about the relative contribution of these factors in adherence in OA.
Abstract
One of the main barriers to the effectiveness of interventions in osteoarthritis (OA) is adherence to treatment interventions and advice. Estimates suggest that adherence to any intervention in OA is between 50 and 95% but many of these estimates are derived from clinical trials and the real levels in clinical practice may be much lower. The factors influencing adherence are complex and multifactorial and, although information is available from other diseases, little is known about the relative contribution of these factors in adherence to treatment in OA. Few interventions to improve adherence have been evaluated in OA, and such studies would be limited by the lack of an accurate method for assessing adherence.

Data from this cross-sectional study were consistent with the hypothesis that many patients engage in an implicit cost-benefit analysis in which beliefs about the necessity of their medication are weighed against concerns about the potential adverse effects of taking it and that these beliefs are related to medication adherence.

Social Science & MedicineThe meaning of medications: Another look at compliance
813 Citations1985Peter Conrad
It is argued that from a patient's perspective the issue is more one of self-regulation than compliance, and what appears to be noncompliance from a medical perspective may actually be a form of asserting control over one's disorder.
