Influence of perceived social support and other factors on treatment adherence among adults living with chronic non-communicable diseases in the Ho Municipality of Ghana: A health facility-based cross-sectional study

While the majority of respondents reported high perceived social support, there was no significant link between social support and overall treatment adherence. However, individuals with low support from friends showed a notably increased adherence to behavioural and lifestyle recommendations. This underscores the nuanced impact of social support on specific aspects of adherence, highlighting the need for targeted interventions tailored to individual support networks.

Abstract

While the majority of respondents reported high perceived social support, there was no significant link between social support and overall treatment adherence. However, individuals with low support from friends showed a notably increased adherence to behavioural and lifestyle recommendations. This underscores the nuanced impact of social support on specific aspects of adherence, highlighting the need for targeted interventions tailored to individual support networks.
