摘要
目的:调查尼日利亚埃基蒂州某教学医院内科门诊高血压患者的治疗满意度和药物依从性。材料与方法:采用定量研究策略,采用描述性和横断面研究设计。采用系统抽样方法,选取270名参与者;数据收集采用结构化问卷。采用8项Morisky药物依从性量表评估药物依从性,采用14项药物治疗满意度问卷评估治疗满意度。结果:研究结果显示,大多数(73.7%)的研究对象对高血压有良好的了解,44.4%的研究对象对治疗有良好的满意度。受试者社会人口学特征关联检验显示,年龄(χ2 = 23.773, P = 0.003)和职业(χ2 = 21.251, P = 0.019)与治疗满意度显著相关。参与者的药物依从性水平相对较差(50.4%)。受教育程度(χ2 = 23.914, P = 0.001)和月收入(χ2 = 10.406, P = 0.034)与服药依从性有显著相关。结论:提高患者对自身疾病的认识,通过政府补贴降压药物治疗,可以提高患者的服药依从性。
Treatment satisfaction and medication adherence among hypertensive patients in a teaching hospital in Ekiti State, Nigeria
Objective: This study investigates treatment satisfaction and medication adherence among hypertensive patients attending the medical outpatient clinic of a teaching hospital in Ekiti State, Nigeria. Materials and Methods: The study design was descriptive and cross-sectional using quantitative research strategy. A systematic sampling technique was used in selecting 270 participants; a structured questionnaire was used for data collection. Medication adherence was assessed using the 8-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale, and treatment satisfaction was assessed using the 14-item Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication. Results: The study findings revealed that majority (73.7%) of the study participants had good knowledge of hypertension, while 44.4% had a good level of treatment satisfaction. Test of association of participants' sociodemographic characteristics revealed age (χ2 = 23.773, P = 0.003) and occupation (χ2 = 21.251, P = 0.019) to be significantly associated with treatment satisfaction. The level of medication adherence by the participants was observed to be relatively poor (50.4%). The educational status (χ2 = 23.914, P = 0.001) and monthly income (χ2 = 10.406, P = 0.034) of the participants showed significant association with medication adherence. Conclusion: The study recommends that improving patients' understanding of their disease and treatment with subsidizing hypertensive medications by the government will enhance medication adherence.
