Özet:

 Aim: This study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between health beliefs about medication use and treatment adherence of individuals who applied to the family health center and had hypertension, diabetes, or COPD. Method: The study sample consisted of 210 patients. Data were collected using the Introductory Information Form, the Drugs Use Health Belief Scale, and the Medication Adherence and Prescription Renewal Scale. Frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Pearson correlation test, and one-way ANOVA were used to analyze the data. Results: When health beliefs regarding medication use were compared according to the type of chronic disease, no difference was found between the groups. When treatment adherence was compared, statistically significant differences were found between hypertension and COPD patients at very high level p0.001 and between diabetes and COPD patients at a high level p0.01. There was a significant negative correlation between patients perceptions of health beliefs and their compliance with treatment at a good level for diabetes patients, a moderate level for hypertension patients, and a weak level for COPD patients. Conclusions: It was determined that patients adherence to treatment increased with improvement in their perception of health beliefs. The level of treatment adherence of COPD patients was higher than the other groups. Further studies examining the effect of education and counseling interventions to improve patients health belief perceptions positively and to increase adherence to treatment are recommended.

 Amaç: Bu çalışma, aile sağlığı merkezine başvuran ve hipertansiyon, diyabet veya KOAH hastalıklarından birine sahip bireylerin ilaç kullanımına yönelik sağlık inançları ile tedaviye uyumları arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendirmek amacıyla gerçekleştirildi Yöntem: Araştırmanın örneklemini 210 hasta oluşturdu. Veriler Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu, İlaç Kullanmaya İlişkin Sağlık İnanç Ölçeği ve İlaca Uyum ve Reçete Yazdırma Ölçeği kullanılarak toplandı. Verilerin analizinde sıklık, yüzde, ortalama, standart sapma, Pearson korelasyon testi ve One-way ANOVA kullanıldı. Bulgular: Kronik hastalık türüne göre ilaç kullanımına ilişkin sağlık inançları karşılaştırıldığında gruplar arasında fark bulunmadı. Tedaviye uyumları karşılaştırıldığında; hipertansiyon ve KOAH hastaları arasında çok yüksek düzeyde p0,001, diyabet ve KOAH hastaları arasında ise yüksek düzeyde p0,01 istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklar bulundu. Hastaların sağlık inanç algıları ile tedaviye uyumları arasında diyabet hastaları için iyi, hipertansiyon hastaları için orta, KOAH hastaları için zayıf düzeyde negatif yönde anlamlı ilişki saptandı. Sonuç: Hastaların sağlık inanç algılarının iyileşmesiyle tedaviye uyumlarının arttığı belirlendi. KOAH hastalarının tedaviye uyum düzeyi diğer gruplardan yüksekti. Hastaların sağlık inanç algılarını olumlu yönde geliştirmeye ve tedaviye uyumu artırmaya yönelik eğitim ve danışmanlık girişimlerinin etkisini inceleyen ileri çalışmaların yapılması önerilmektedir.
