SCREENING OF PATIENT ADHERENCE IN THE TREATMENT OF CHRONIC NON-INFECTIOUS DISEASES

Today, the problem of chronic non-communicable diseases (CND) in modern society remains socially and medically relevant due to significant prevalence, high level of disability and mortality. The studied data of long-term studies indicate insufficient secondary prevention of CND both at the population level and among individuals with a high risk of its development. Among the reasons for this situation, a special place is given to insufficient patient adherence to drug and non-drug therapy. The study of patients' attitudes to the prescribed therapy and the degree of its compliance is a fairly new area of scientific research. The development of this area is due to the large role of the paradigm of interaction between doctor and patient, the transition from a paternalistic model to partnerships and the patient's awareness of his own active role in therapy.
