Objective:
To explore the medication adherence and treatment
satisfactionand to identify its’ factorsassociatedamongpatients
with type 2 diabetes treated at community health service center
of Guangdong province, China.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study was carried out among
T2DM patients form 22 community health service centers of
Guangdong province, China. Data on patient socio-demographic,
diabetic complications, medication adherence and treatment
satisfaction were also collected.
Results:
4,560 T2DM patients were enrolled in the study. 43.1%
of patients reported good medication adherence and 56.9% non-
adherent. The average satisfaction scores in the effectiveness,
side effects, convenience, and global satisfaction domains were
62.3±7.1, 81.1±10.5, 63.7±10.7, and 70.3±6.7 respectively. There
wasasignificant difference in themeanscoreof the four domains
(p<0.001) among patients with different levels of adherence.
The Pearson correlation coefficient between total adherence
and overall treatment satisfaction score indicated a significant
positive correlation (r=0.413; p<0.001). Logistic regression
analysis showed that educational level (OR=1.489), duration of
DM (OR=0.473), presence of complication (OR=0.812), income
(OR=1.989), pattern of antidiabetic treatment (OR=0.697),
number of medications (OR=0.628), treatment satisfaction
(OR=2.173) were the main impact factors associated with
adherence to antidiabetic therapy.
Conclusions:
The medication adherence and treatment
satisfaction among patients with type 2 diabetes treated at
community health service center of Guangdong, China remains
unsatisfactory. Low treatment satisfaction may be an important
barrier for achieving high rates of adherence to treatment among
patients with type 2 diabetes.
