至少三分之一的心力衰竭住院患者是由于不遵守饮食和药物治疗方案造成的。在慢性疾病中,不遵守生活方式改变和药物治疗是一个主要的健康问题。患者经常停止服药,因为他们认为药物无效或出现令人不快的副作用。在无症状的情况下,患者可能认为他们不需要药物,甚至可能不按处方服药。如果他们确实获得了药物,他们可能会忘记定期服用。教育工作和行为技巧可以提高慢性无症状患者的依从性,但最有效的策略之一仍然是改善医患沟通。
At least one third of hospital admissions for heart failure result from noncompliance with therapeutic regimens, both dietary and pharmacologic. In chronic diseases, noncompliance with both lifestyle modification and medication regimens is a major health problem. Patients frequently stop taking their medications because they consider them ineffective or because they experience unpleasant side effects. In asymptomatic conditions, patients may believe they do not need the medication and may not even fill their prescription. If they do obtain the medications, they may forget to take them regularly. Educational efforts and behavioral techniques can improve patient compliance in chronic, asymptomatic conditions, but one of the most effective strategies remains improved patient-physician communication.
