"Why Am I Not Taking Medications?" Barriers and Facilitators of Diabetes Medication Adherence Across Different Health Literacy Levels.
Qualitative Health Research 2020 July 30
Medication adherence is important for diabetes management. Better knowledge of how patient factors relate to medication adherence allows us to develop more tailored interventions. We explore patients' perceptions of the barriers to and facilitators of medication adherence across different levels of health literacy. Semi-structured interviews with 23 participants with type 2 diabetes (T2D) were completed, and direct content analysis identified the facilitators of and the barriers to medication adherence through the lens of the Health Literacy Pathway model. Linking medication-taking to daily routine and focusing on the internal locus of control are imperative approaches to fostering self-efficacy of medication use. Understanding patients' life experiences and clarifying medication misinformation help patients address their concerns with medications. Lowering the cost of medications and simplifying therapy regimens can alleviate participants' perceived barriers to medication-taking. In this study, we explore medication adherence from the experience of people with T2D and can inform tailored interventions to improve medication adherence.
