Suebsarn RuksakulpiwatZhaojun LiuShihong YueYu-Ying FanPublished in: Patient preference and adherence (2020)
Perceived concern about adverse effects of medicines and perception of illness have an influential impact on self-reported medication adherence in ischemic stroke patients. To enhance adherence, patients' beliefs about medication and perceptions of their disease should be reconsidered. Future work should investigate interventions to influence patient adherence by addressing concerns about their ischemic stroke medications and the perception of the disease.
