Abstract:
Objective To understand the compliance of statins and their influencing factors in elderly patients with hyperlipidemia,in order to provide a basis for the improvement of medication compliance. Methods A total of 120 patients who were diagnosed of hyperlipidemia in the elderly ward of a Class Ⅲ hospital in Beijing from January to November 2016 were selected by convenient sampling method and investigated with questionnaire about general information and medication compliance.Results There were 62 cases (51.67％) with good compliance,and 58 cases (48.33％) with poor compliance in total. The result of univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in patients′ medication compliance with different age,education degree and living style (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that advanced age,low education level,and living alone were the risk factors of poor medication compliance.Conclusions Medical staff should pay more attention to the elder patients who were living alone and with low education level. It is suggested taking family members into the management of patients′ disease and medication,and taking measures to improve the compliance of statins in elderly patients with hyperlipidemia.
