Multilevel determinants of medication adherence among Chinese patients with chronic diseases: an ecological analysis based on the health ecology model
This nationwide study demonstrated that medication adherence among Chinese patients with chronic diseases is influenced by interconnected personal, psychosocial, and socioeconomic factors. Multifaceted interventions, including pharmacist involvement in adherence monitoring, family-based support, mental health screening, and the expansion of subsidy programs, may improve medication adherence and optimize chronic disease management.
