Factors Influencing Therapeutic Non-Adherence Behavior Among Patients with Type 2 Diabetes in Two Public Hospitals in the Gambia: A Cross-Sectional Study

20241 citationOpen accessUniversity of the Gambia

Abstract

The rate of non-adherence to antidiabetic treatment in this study was high. Perceived barriers to antidiabetic treatment such as forgetfulness, long-term medication use, and medication side effects influenced therapeutic non-adherence to antidiabetic treatment. While interventions should focus on how to eliminate these barriers, health education on diabetic self-care may help reinforce the importance of medication adherence to prevent complications.
