Illness perception as a determinant of medication adherence in adult Turkish patients with familial Mediterranean fever
Medication adherence among adult Turkish patients with FMF was relatively high but closely influenced by illness perception. Patients with clearer disease understanding and positive control beliefs demonstrated better adherence. Addressing illness perception through education and psychosocial support may enhance adherence and improve long-term outcomes in FMF.
