The Effect of Treatment Adherence on Risk Perception of Complications and Metabolic Control in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

Abstract

Aim: This study was conducted to determine the effect of treatment compliance on risk perception of complications and metabolic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. Material and Methods: The sample of this descriptive study consisted of 206 type 2 diabetic patients aged 18 years and older who were hospitalized October 2023 and March 2024 and who volunteered to participate in the study. In the collection of the study data, the ''Patient Introduction Form'', which includes the descriptive characteristics of the patients, ''Patient Compliance Scale for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Treatment'', ''Risk Perception Scale for Complications'' and ''Metabolic Values Control Form'' were used. Descriptive statistics and correlation statistical analysis methods were used in the evaluation. Results: In the study, it was determined that the level of compliance to treatment was moderate (79.86±11.46), the level of risk perception towards complications was high (2.94±0.25), and the level of perceived risk towards complications was moderate (2.09±0.42). There was a significant negative correlation between the Patient Compliance Scale for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Treatment and composite risk perception (p <0.05). There was a significant positive correlation between compliance to treatment and some metabolic variables (p< 0.05). Treatment compliance level was found to be significantly associated with risk knowledge, personal perception of disease risk and fasting blood glucose level (F = 3.765, p <0.001). Conclusion: In this study, it was found that the level of compliance to treatment significantly predicted fasting blood glucose level in individuals with type 2 diabetes along with risk knowledge and personal disease risk among risk perception components. However, other risk perception dimensions and most of the metabolic variables had no significant effect on treatment compliance. These findings suggest that individuals' disease knowledge and risk perceptions are important factors affecting their treatment compliance behaviors
