dc.description.abstract | Approximately half of the patients taking medication for hypertension have
problems following the prescribed regime to the extent that they do not derive
optimal clinical benefit. Prior to this study, there was little data on adherence in
the Arabian Gulf region and there was no Arabic language instrument for
measuring self-reported adherence. This thesis describes the design and validation of an Arabic / English self-reporting
measure for medication adherence. This instrument was used to study
the concurrent and predictive validity of the self-reported adherence measure,
changes in self-reported adherence and to compare the doctor and patient
perspectives on adherence. | |
