Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to assess internal consistency, and test-retest method was used to evaluate the reliability of the tool.FindingsThe results of EFA and CFA confirmed the tool with three factors and 11 items. The R2 index in the above model was estimated at 0.99, indicating that 99% of the variation in medication adherence scores in research units was explained by GMAS with 11 items.

The most common symptoms on admission were fatigue (59.02%), dyspnea (52.68%), and cough (42.93%). In total, 80% of patients observed respiratory symptoms, primarily dyspnea, while 42.44% reported neurological symptoms, with sleep disturbance being the most common.
