Abstract

Background: Assess the impact of medication adherence on quality of life (QOL) in patients with type 2 diabetes in different setting and societies, can be considered as a great clinical importance. Therefore, this study was designed for evaluation of association between medication adherence in patients with type 2 diabetes with their QOL.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 279 diabetic type 2 positive cases referred to Endocrinology clinic in Hamadan City at the first six months of 2020. The short-form health survey SF-36 and MMAS-8 questionnaire was used for assessing health related QOL and medication adherence of patients, respectively. Correlations between each QOL domain with medication adherence were tested with Pearson's r coefficient.Results: Among investigated patients, 154 (55.2%) of them were male and vast majority were urban dweller (91.07%). The number of 101 patients (36.07%) had high treatment adherence. We found a significant and positive correlation between medication adherence and domains of emotional wellbeing, social functioning, general health and total score of QOL (P>0.05). While there was a significant negative correlation between medication adherence and role limitations due to physical health (r=-0.14, P=0.02).Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, diabetic patients with poor QOL may have less medication adherence, then such patients should be integrated e.g. in self-care education programs and reinforcement interventions to improve QOL and medication adherence.

2型糖尿病患者药物依从性与生活质量的关系:一项横断面研究

背景:评估不同环境和社会条件下2型糖尿病患者药物依从性对生活质量(QOL)的影响，具有重要的临床意义。因此，本研究旨在评估2型糖尿病患者药物依从性与其生活质量之间的关系。方法:对2020年上半年在哈马丹市内分泌科门诊就诊的279例2型糖尿病阳性患者进行横断面研究。采用健康问卷SF-36和MMAS-8分别评估患者的健康相关生活质量和药物依从性。采用Pearson’s r系数检验各生活质量域与药物依从性的相关性。结果:调查患者中男性154例(55.2%)，绝大多数为城镇居民(91.07%)。101例患者治疗依从性高，占36.07%。我们发现药物依从性与情绪健康、社会功能、一般健康和生活质量总分呈显著正相关(P>0.05)。而药物依从性与身体健康导致的角色限制之间存在显著的负相关(r=-0.14, P=0.02)。结论:根据本研究结果，糖尿病患者生活质量较差的患者可能存在服药依从性较低的情况，应结合自我保健教育和强化干预等措施提高患者的生活质量和服药依从性。
