lüll Adherence to disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a narrative review of the literature Salt E; Frazier SKOrthop Nurs 2010[Jul]; 29 (4): 260-75AIM: This paper synthesizes findings from available research about medication adherence to disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) in the population with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RESULTS: This review of literature included 35 articles. Medication adherence to DMARDs ranged from 30% to 107%. Adherence rates of more than 100% indicated that patients took more than the prescribed amount of medication. There were no consistent risk factors for nonadherence to DMARD prescriptions identified, but some evidence was provided for self-efficacy, patient-healthcare provider relationships, social support, patient beliefs about medications, and age as factors affecting medication adherence. Support for educational interventions focused on medication adherence was equivocal. CONCLUSION: Further research is necessary to develop a comprehensive, theoretically based understanding of medication adherence in RA patients.|*Patient Compliance[MESH]|Antirheumatic Agents/*therapeutic use[MESH]|Arthritis, Rheumatoid/*drug therapy/psychology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Self Efficacy[MESH]|Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha/antagonists & inhibitors[MESH] |
