Abstract

AIM : This study was designed to determine the degree of drug compliance amongst hypertensives at Federal Medical Centre Owo, Ondo State, Nigeria. We also determined the effect of frequency of dosing and number of drugs on compliance. METHODOLOGY : This study was conducted between September,2007 and January, 2008. Ethical clearance was obtained from the Ethical committee of the hospital prior to carrying out this study. Informed consent was obtained from each of the respondents. One hundred respondents were interviewed with the aid of semi structured questionnaire. Information obtained included their bio data, self reported drug compliance, frequency of dosing and the number of drugs used. The data obtained with the study instrument was collated and analyzed with SPSS 12.0.1 statistical soft ware version. Cross tabulation and chi square test was done. Statistical significance was P < 0.05. RESULTS :Most respondents (78%) had good drug compliance while the remaining had poor compliance. Majority of the respondents(65%) were on two drugs. Most respondents(80%) used their drugs twice daily. CONCLUSION : Majority of the respondents had good compliance. Even though frequency of dosing and the number of drugs affected drug compliance. The differences amongst the different groups were not statistically significant. Efforts at educating patients should be sustained and improved upon. There is need to make qualitative health care affordable and accessible to the populace.

Özet

AMAÇ: Bu çalışma, Nijerya, Ondo Eyaleti, Owo Federal Tıp Merkezi’ndeki hipertansifler arasında ilaç uyumu derecesini belirlemek için tasarlandı. Aynı zamanda ilaç alım sıklığının ve alınan ilaç sayısının uyuma etkisini belirledik. YÖNTEM: Bu çalışma Eylül 2007-Ocak 2008 arasında yapıldı. Çalışma gerçekleştirilmeden önce hastane etik komitesinden etik onay alındı. Basit randomize teknikle seçilen 100 katılımcı ile yarı yapılandırılmış bir veri toplama formuyla görüşüldü. Aydınlatılmış onam her bir katılımcıdan alındı. Toplanan bilgiler katılımcıların biyolojik veriler, kendi beyan ettikleri ilaç uyumu, ilaç alım sıklığı ve kullanılan ilaç sayısıydı. Çalışma gereçleri ile toplanan veriler SPSS 12.0.1 yazılımı ile işlendi ve analiz edildi. Çapraz tablolar ve ki kare testleri yapıldı. İstatistiksel anlamlılık p<0.05 kabul edildi. BULGULAR: Çoğu katılımcının (%78) ilaç uyumu iyiydi. Katılımcıların çoğunluğu (%65) ikiden fazla ilaç kullanıyordu. Katılımcılar en fazla (%80) günde iki kez ilaç kullanmaktaydı. SONUÇ: Katılımcıların çoğu iyi ilaç uyumuna sahipti. Buna rağmen ilaç kullanım sıklığı ve kullanılan ilaç sayısı ilaç uyumunu etkilemekteydi. Farklı gruplar arasındaki farklılıklar istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildi. Hasta eğitimi etkinlikleri yapılmalı ve konu geliştirilmelidir. Halk tarafından erişilebilir ve kullanılabilir kaliteli sağlık bakımına ihtiyaç vardır.
