Primary Non-Adherence to Preventive Drugs and Associations with Beliefs About Medicines in Stroke Survivors.
Medication non-adherence is a common problem in clinical practice. Little is known about stroke survivors' primary non-adherence to preventive drugs, and we hypothesised that their beliefs about medicines are associated with primary non-adherence. The objective was to describe primary non-adherence among stroke survivors and to assess associations between primary non-adherence to preventive drugs and beliefs about medicines. ⋯ Primary non-adherence to preventive drugs was low, and no associations were found between primary non-adherence and beliefs about medicines. Associations with cognitive impairments such as difficulties with memory and need for help from next of kin suggest that more effort is needed to help stroke survivors to start important preventive drug treatments after discharge from hospital.

Impact of Personal, Cultural and Religious Beliefs on Medication Adherence among Patients with Chronic Diseases at University Hospital in Northwest Ethiopia.
Subjective beliefs about chronic disease conditions and their drug management are among factors determining adherence to medications that are amenable to interventions. Patient-level factors such as personal, cultural, and religious beliefs about diseases, and medication use may have a significant impact on medication adherence. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of personal, cultural and religious beliefs on medication adherence behavior among patients with chronic follow-up. ⋯ This study generalized that most of the patients were poor adherent to their medications. Personal beliefs were found to influence medication adherence of the patients. Future studies could be needed to explore and identify how these factors affect patients' medication adherence.

Pre COVID-19 Pandemic Use of Telemedicine for Adherence Promotion in Patients with Psychotic Disorders: A Literature Review.
Given the increasing use of telepsychiatry and to serve as a reference point informing future research, our team evaluated the literature on the use of telepsychiatry for medication adherence promotion prior to the COVID-19 pandemic among patients with psychotic disorders. ⋯ In the pre-Covid-19 literature, telepsychiatry appears promising as an adjunct to usual care for increasing medication adherence among individuals with schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder. However, given the limited number of papers and exclusive use on telephone-only to deliver telepsychiatry, additional research specific to telepsychiatry for patients with psychosis is needed.
