The objective of the study was to examine the association between provider-patient communication, glaucoma medication adherence self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and glaucoma medication adherence. Prospective observational cohort study. 279 patients with glaucoma who were newly prescribed or on glaucoma medications were recruited at six ophthalmology clinics. Patients’ visits were video-tape recorded and communication variables were coded using a detailed coding tool developed by the authors. Adherence was measured using Medication Event Monitoring Systems for 60 days after their visits. The following adherence variables were measured for the 60 day period after their visits: whether the patient took 80% or more of the prescribed doses, percent correct number of prescribed doses taken each day, and percent prescribed doses taken on time. Higher glaucoma medication adherence self-efficacy was positively associated with better adherence with all three measures. African American race was negatively associated with percent correct number of doses taken each day (beta= −0.16, p<0.05) and whether the patient took 80% or more of the prescribed doses (odds ratio=0.37, 95% confidence interval 0.16, 0.86). Physician education about how to administer drops was positively associated with percent correct number of doses taken each day (beta= 0.18, p<0.01) and percent prescribed doses taken on time (beta=0.15, p<0.05). These findings indicate that provider education about how to administer glaucoma drops and patient glaucoma medication adherence self-efficacy are positively associated with adherence.
