About this study

Non-adherence to controller therapy is one of the main reasons of poor asthma control. Adherence to medication in different studies range between 30 and 70% . Several factors related to the disease, to the patient, treatment or physician- patient relationship

Read the detailed description

Non-adherence to controller therapy is one of the main reasons for poor asthma control. Adherence to medication in different studies ranges between 30 and 70%. Several factors related to the disease, to the patient, treatment, or physician-patient relationship have been identified to be related to adherence in asthma and other diseases. According to the self-regulation theory, medication beliefs and illness perception are associated with treatment adherence. Beliefs about illness, the necessity, and the concerns (addition and side effects) of the treatment have been identified as the two most important elements in the proposed theory. Other factors that impact treatment adherence are the perceived efficacy of medicines, cost of therapy, complex dosing regimens, Patient's level of education, and cultural beliefs. Evaluating the beliefs about asthma medication, and cognitive and emotional perceptions may help to identify patients with poor adherence to treatment in clinical practice. That would guide additional attention helping to increase the likelihood of taking asthma medication appropriately. However, only limited information is available on treatment adherence in Egyptian people especially in upper Egypt. Furthermore, evidence identifying medication beliefs, and cognitive or emotional factors associated with asthma medication adherence among Egyptian people in upper Egypt is currently not available

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT06200623
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Asthmatic patients presented to respiratory outpatient clinicAll subjects will be subjected to Complete history taking including demographic data, residence, educational level, income level, and presence of first- or second-degree medical relative. The first onset age of asthma and duration of asthma will be recorded. Factors that can affect treatment adherence are collected as type and number of medications, cost, inclusion in the health insurance system, availability, asthma-related comorbidities, and choice of drug and device. : To assess adherence we will use the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) as discussed above To assess patient beliefs, we will use The Beliefs about Medicines Questionnaire as discussed above To obtain information on illness perception we will use The Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (Brief IPQ) as discussed above To assess asthma control we will use the asthma control test as discussed above

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Treatment adherence in asthmatic patients in upper Egypt and association to disease beliefs

    simple questionnaires will be used to assess adherence, beliefs, and perception

    Measured: one year
