简介：本研究旨在评估在尼日利亚三级医院接受治疗的艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者 (PLWHA) 的治疗依从率。方法：这是一项横断面研究，评估了 18 岁及以上正在接受治疗 HIV 药物的成年人自我报告的治疗依从性。采用系统随机抽样方法选择了 550 名参与者，并通过结构化访谈员问卷收集数据。结果：受访者的平均年龄为 39.9 +/- 10 岁。 HIV患者的依从率为92.6%。影响依从性的因素包括缺乏去医院的费用（75%）、旅行（68.8%）、忘记（66.7%）、避免副作用（66.7%）和避免被发现（63.6%）。结论：尽管治疗方案取得了进步，但依从率仍达不到最佳水平。应持续实施家访和护理等依从性监测计划。
Introduction: This study aims to assess the treatment adherence rate among People Living With HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) receiving treatment in a Nigerian tertiary Hospital. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study that assessed self-reported treatment adherence among adults aged 18 years and above who were accessing drugs for the treatment of HIV. Systematic random sampling method was used to select 550 participants and data were collected by structured interviewer administered questionnaire. Results: The mean age of respondents was 39.9 +/- 10 years. Adherence rate for HIV patients was 92.6%. Factors affecting adherence include lack of money for transportation to the hospital (75%), traveling (68.8%), forgetting (66.7%), avoiding side effects (66.7%), and avoiding being seen (63.6%). Conclusion: The adherence rate was less than optimal despite advancements in treatment programmes. Adherence monitoring plans such as home visit and care should be sustained.
