A study conducted in Singapore examined medication adherence among patients with common medical conditions such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, depression, and anxiety. The majority of participants self-managed their medications, but over half were nonadherent. Factors associated with nonadherence included age, being a homemaker, number of medications/supplements, and anxiety. Participants expressed a preference for interventions such as pillboxes and learning how to maintain medication lists. The study emphasizes the need for targeted interventions to address medication nonadherence in Singapore. The document provides contact information for healthcare institutions in Singapore for further information or collaboration. [Extracted from the article] |
