Path analysis of medication adherence in schizophrenia patients based on the extended theory of planned behavior: A cross-sectional study
Background
Medication adherence is a significant challenge among community-dwelling patients with schizophrenia. Understanding the influencing factors through the lens of behavioral theory can provide valuable guidance for designing effective interventions to improve medication adherence.
Objectives
This study aimed to identify the factors associated with medication adherence and the underlying mechanisms, based on the extended Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), among community-dwelling patients with schizophrenia in China.
Methods
Medication adherence was measured using the seven-day recall method. Medication attitudes were assessed using the Drug Attitude Inventory-10-Item Version, perceived behavioral control was measured with the Self-Efficacy for Appropriate Medication Use Scale, and subjective norms, intention, and supervision were evaluated using self-developed items. Path analysis was conducted to test the hypotheses based on the extended TPB.
Results
A total of 468 community-dwelling patients with schizophrenia were surveyed, and 81.20 % of them demonstrated adherent. Intention (standardized effect: 0.897) and supervision (standardized effect: 0.084) were directly associated with medication adherence. Attitude (standardized effect: 0.268, computed as 0.299 × 0.897), subjective norms (standardized effect: 0.283, computed as 0.316 × 0.897), and perceived behavioral control (standardized effect: 0.187, computed as 0.208 × 0.897) were indirectly associated with medication adherence through intention.
Conclusion
The extended TPB is a suitable model for predicting medication adherence among community-dwelling patients with schizophrenia in China. It provides a robust framework for designing interventions targeting attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and supervision to enhance medication adherence.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Psychosomatic Research is a multidisciplinary research journal covering all aspects of the relationships between psychology and medicine. The scope is broad and ranges from basic human biological and psychological research to evaluations of treatment and services. Papers will normally be concerned with illness or patients rather than studies of healthy populations. Studies concerning special populations, such as the elderly and children and adolescents, are welcome. In addition to peer-reviewed original papers, the journal publishes editorials, reviews, and other papers related to the journal''s aims.
