Cultural and systemic determinants of medication adherence management: mixed-methods evidence from Jordanian healthcare professionals
Pharmacists play a leading role in adherence support in Jordan, leveraging patient education, regimen simplification, and culturally anchored strategies. However, both pharmacists and physicians face systemic and patient-level barriers, with limited training and collaboration hindering impact. Expanding adherence training, formalizing interprofessional roles, and incorporating cultural facilitators into routine care could strengthen adherence management for multimorbid patients in Jordan and similar contexts.
