Text of the abstract

Background and aims: It is widely known that the adherence rate is about 50% in any chronic disease, thus the patients almost randomly follow the therapeutic suggestions. This represents an enormous problem specifically in the case of diabetes where the therapeutic success depends largely on self-management. We have a lot of knowledge about the impact of conscious background factors on adherence such as the attitudes toward medicines, the locus of health control, self-efficacy etc. We know much less about the mainly unconscious factors influencing or forming our daily routines. Therefore the aim of my study is to identify those factors in order to develop more effective interventions, or to implement the available interventions in a more targeted way.
Methods: I have developed a model including personality traits besides known background factors influencing adherence. I have compiled a set of self-reported questionnaires measuring personality traits using TCI-60, attitudes, social and affective factors and the patient-doctor relationship as background factors. The outcome measures are both subjective and objective medication adherence questionnaires, clinical data (HbA1c) and self-report of adherence (Morisky-8 Questionnaire). In the present survey we plan to include 200 patients with type 2 diabetes presenting at our clinic as inpatients or outpatients.
Results: Data collection is in progress. Our preliminary results and experiences with the data collection will be reported.
