Objective:To explore the potential categories and influencing factors of medication compliance in patients with cardiometabolic multimorbidity, and provide a reference for formulating targeted intervention measures.Methods:A cross-sectional study design was adopted. From March to October 2024, the patients with cardiometabolic multimorbidity in the First Hospital Affiliated with Hunan Normal University (Hunan Provincial People′s Hospital) were selected by convenience sampling method as research objects. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, Medication Adherence Rating Scale (MARS), Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), and Medication Literacy Questionnaire. The latent class analysis was used to explore the characteristics and classifications of medication compliance in cardiometabolic multimorbidity, and unordered multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of different latent classes.Results:A total of 421 subjects were included, consisting of 291 males and 130 females, aged (64.28±9.74) years old. The overall medication adherence score was 6.00 (5.00, 8.00) points, which could be divided into four categories: overall good adherence group (24.47%, 103/421), subjective perception-poor adherence group (15.91%, 67/421), forgetfulness-poor adherence group (37.53%, 158/421), and overall poor adherence group (22.09%, 93/421). The results showed that when taking the overall good adherence group as a reference, the inability to obtain pharmaceutical information from social media, medication literacy scores, social support scores were the influencing factors for the subjective perception-poor adherence group ( OR=4.210, 0.516, 0.733, all P<0.05). Occupational characteristics (employees in public institutions or government-affiliated institutions), age, social support scores were the influencing factors for the forgetfulness-poor adherence group( OR=0.173, 1.155, 0.781, all P<0.05). Occupational characteristics (employees in public institutions or government-affiliated institutions), failure to receive medication guidance from medical staff, medication literacy scores and social support scores were the influencing factors for the overall poor adherence group( OR values were 0.136-5.275, all P<0.05). When taking the overall poor adherence group as a reference, failure to receive medication guidance from medical staff and medication literacy scores were the influencing factors for the subjective perception-poor adherence group ( OR=0.310, 1.752, both P<0.05). Failure to receive medication guidance from medical staff, age, medication literacy scores and social support scores were the influencing factors for the forgetfulness-poor adherence group ( OR values were 0.315-2.554, all P<0.05). Conclusions:There is significant heterogeneity in medication adherence among patients with cardiometabolic multimorbidity. Healthcare professionals should consider individual characteristics in clinical practice and provide targeted, precise interventions to improve adherence in different patient categories.
