Overview

Cross-sectional study shows low education and negative beliefs affect treatment adherence in type 2 diabetes, suggesting targeted interventions.

Key Points

  • Only 42.7% of participants adhered to their diabetes treatment, highlighting a significant adherence gap.
  • Higher health anxiety did not impact adherence rates, with a P value of 0.947 indicating a lack of statistical significance.
  • Cross-sectional analysis of 356 type 2 diabetes patients assessed adherence using the Morisky Green Levine scale and belief questionnaires.
  • Low education levels and negative beliefs about medications are crucial factors affecting adherence, calling for educational programs.
