Abstract:
Objective:To understand the current status of medication adherence in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) , and to explore the influencing factors of their medication adherence.Methods:From April 8 to December 10, 2019, convenience sampling was used to conduct a cross-sectional survey of 226 patients with PAH hospitalized in a Class Ⅲ Grade A hospital in Beijing. Medication adherence of PAH patients was evaluated with the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale, and patients were investigated with the General Information Questionnaire, Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Knowledge Questionnaire, Social Support Rating Scale, Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) . Factors that may affect the medication adherence of PAH patients were included, so as to conduct univariate analysis and multiple stepwise regression analysis.Results:The medication adherence score of patients with PAH was (5.26±0.11) . Disease cognition, residence, education level and depression level of PAH patients were the influencing factors of their medication adherence ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Patients with PAH have poor medication adherence. In the future clinical work, we should pay attention to improving patients' awareness of diseases, strengthen the evaluation of patients' depression, so as to achieve early detection and early intervention, and at the same time strengthen psychological care and health education, and improve patient compliance with medication.
