Contextual Factors Affecting Adherence Revealed by Old Patients with Heart Failure in Hospital and Primary Care Interactions: A Descriptive Study
The findings from this study provide insights for clinicians to the main types of non-biomedical factors revealed by old patients with heart failure in medical interactions, which affect their treatment adherence. Clinicians should particularly consider patient concerns regarding medications' side effects and the regimen complexity as important aspects to discuss, leveraging on motivational and social resources if present.
