The importance of treatment adherence

The effectiveness of a treatment is determined by adherence to it (that is, the degree to which medical instructions are followed).

This depends on several factors:

·       Patient: cognitive and behavioral difficulties.

·       Illness: consider severity, progression, prognosis, symptoms, and new diagnoses.

·       Treatment: strategies to anticipate and manage side effects.

·       Social: integrating the family is essential.

·       Healthcare team: building a trusting relationship to express doubts and providing guidance in accessible language.
