Medical background and potential adherence to treatment

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY

Examine the potential adherence to treatment of medical university students at different levels of study.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

1282 responders (376 men and 906 women, average age 20.41±2.13 years) were included in the study using the continuous cross-sectional method — students of 1-6 courses of the medical faculty of the Omsk State Medical University, Russia. Potential adherence to treatment was assessed using the Russian universal questionnaire for quantitative assessment of adherence QAA-25 (scale of potential adherence to treatment).

RESULTS

Medical university students showed initially low potential adherence to treatment on all scales of the questionnaire. Indicators of such adherence among students enrolled in 2-3 courses are higher than the average values of students enrolled in 1 course and 4-6 courses, while there were no statistically significant differences between the levels of adherence of students of 1 and 6 courses. As the level of education increased, there was a significant increase in the level of adherence to lifestyle modification (mostly due to female responders), with a significant decrease in the level of adherence to drug therapy and medical support.

CONCLUSION

Despite the multidirectional changes in the indicators of potential adherence to drug therapy, medical support and lifestyle modification during the period of study, the average sample indicators of potential integral adherence to treatment do not differ significantly among medical students, both at the beginning of medical education and at its completion, while remaining at the same time initially low, which demonstrates the lack of influence of medical education on potential adherence to treatment and may indicate that adherence is a potentially unchanged individual property of a person.
