Drug Attitude and Medication Adherence of Patients with Early Psychosis in South Korea: Mediating Effect of Medication Adherence Self-Efficacy.
This study examined the mediating effect of medication adherence self-efficacy (MASE) on the relationship between drug attitude (DA) and medication adherence (MA) in patients with early psychosis. ⋯ These findings could potentially lead to a more personalized approach to medication education and adherence, considering the unique DA and MASE of each patient. By identifying the mediating effect of MASE on the relationship between DA and MA, healthcare providers could tailor interventions to enhance the ability of patients with early psychosis to adhere to prescribed medication regimens.

Exercise Self-Efficacy and Fatigue as Predictors of Adherence to Home-Based Exercise Among Patients with Multiple Sclerosis.
Adherence to home-based exercise programs can be improved by determining the factors associated with exercise adoption and maintenance in patients with multiple sclerosis. However, the factors that influence adherence to home-based exercise have been poorly studied among patients with multiple sclerosis in Saudi Arabia. This study aimed to examine predictors of adherence to home-based exercise programs among patients with multiple sclerosis in Saudi Arabia. ⋯ These findings suggest that exercise self-efficacy and fatigue should be considered by physical therapists when designing a tailored exercise program for patients with multiple sclerosis. This may facilitate greater adherence to the home-based exercise programs and improve functional outcomes.

A Theoretical Qualitative Investigation Exploring Illness Perceptions and Decision-Making About COVID-19 in an Ethnically Diverse UK-Based Sample.
The primary aim of the present investigation was to explore perceptions, experiences, and decision-making relating to the COVID-19 illness as the UK entered into a phase of "living safely with COVID-19". A secondary aim was to explore how perceptions around the COVID-19 vaccine might vary by ethnicity. ⋯ Findings from the present investigation provide key insights for understanding how people's perceptions of COVID-19 during this transition period might impact their decisions and behavior moving forward. Specifically, findings suggest some prevailing concerns around catching the virus, while no strong qualitative evidence for concerns over long COVID were identified in this sample, the responsibility felt by individuals towards taking their own precautionary measures in light of the easing of all national restrictions, and some potential differences in perceptions towards the vaccine between individuals from different ethnic backgrounds.

A Qualitative Study on the Perception of Medication Adherence by the Social Circles of Patients with Type 2 Diabetes.
Studies have indicated that half of all patients with diabetes do not take their medication as prescribed. Patient social circles, including professionals (health care providers) and nonprofessionals (family and friends) might contribute to low medication adherence. Therefore, this study explored the point of view of healthcare providers and family members of patients with diabetes on patient medication adherence. ⋯ Interventions that target the factors identified by the social circle of patients with diabetes might improve medication adherence and promote better disease management outcomes.
