Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Knowledge of the treatment regimen has consistently been found to be a predictor of adherence to chronic disease regimens. Patients who understand their treatment plan and have clear instructions are more likely to comply with it. Low expectations for controlling one's health and low self-efficacy have been found to be barriers to adherence rather than predictors. Hereditary factors may influence the development of chronic diseases but do not directly predict adherence to treatment regimens.
