COMPLIANCE OF CHRONICALLY ILL PATIENTS BEFORE STARTING AN EDUCATIONAL PROCESS
Abstract
Background: One of the most important predispositions of successful treatment is the patient?s collaboration. The article is focused on problematical patient?s collaboration with healthcare professionals; the most frequent reasons of the patient?s lack of collaboration during the disorder period are described, and the possibility of the improvement of patient collaboration based on high quality and well planned education implementation is mentioned. The goal was to identify to what degree chronically ill patients observed the therapeutic (pharmacological) regimen. The criterion for being included in the study was to achieve at least 24 points of Mini Mental State Examination, the history of a chronic disease of 2 years and more, and the minimum age of 18 years. The study was performed using a questionnaire in 231 respondents. Results: The average age of the respondents was 69.3 years. 31.8 % of respondents proved an adequate awareness of the medicaments used (the knowledge of the medicament name, the dosage), 3.2 % of the respondents admitted that they had problems with taking out the medicament from the cover, 24.5 % mentioned that they occasionally modified the dose of medicaments, 32.1 % admitted that they sometimes forgot to take the prescribed drugs. Conclusions: Nonobservance of pharmacological treatment represents a serious nationwide problem resulting in the increased cost of patient treatment, and it can negatively affect the quality of patient lives. Education can be one of factors which can positively influence patient compliance.
