| Popis: | Objective: To evaluate treatment adherence to oral glucose lowering drugs (OGLD) and health related quality of life in Lebanese diabetics. Secondary objectives were to examine associations between treatment adherence, quality of life (QOL), treatment satisfaction and illness perception. Methods: This cross-sectional study, conducted in all districts of Lebanon between August 2016 and April 2017, enrolled 207 adult patients, taking any OGLD. Results: The effectiveness score (Beta = 0.55), female gender (Beta = 7.04), and the quality of life score (Beta = 0.28) would significantly increase the adherence score respectively. On another hand, the body mass index (Beta = −1.216) would significantly decrease the adherence score. Adherence was negatively and significantly associated to IPQ score (r = −0.181), effectiveness score (r = −0.504), side effects (r = −0.583), convenience (r = −0.317), global satisfaction (r = −0.428), physical health (r = −0.477), psychological health (r = −0.521), social relationships (r = −0.405) and environment (r = −0.429). Conclusion: Perceived effectiveness and patient’s quality of life seem to be important parameters enhancing adherence. Based on this study, planning interventions to enhance treatment adherence and improve the quality of life is crucial for all diabetic patients. Additional efforts are suggested to be made by concerned authorities to set up awareness campaigns to increase alertness on the importance of adherence to medications in diabetics.
