          Abstract

          Resumen: Objetivo: Establecer la asociación de las características sociodemográficas y la adherencia al tratamiento en personas adultas mexicanas con Diabetes Tipo 2. Materiales y Método: Diseño descriptivo transversal, la población estuvo constituida por adultos mayores de 18 de edad con diagnóstico de DT2, que acudieron a una clínica de diabetes de un hospital público. La muestra estuvo constituida por 100 participantes, se incluyeron adultos conscientes, con diagnóstico de DT2, con evolución mínima de tres años con la enfermedad. Para medir la adherencia al tratamiento se utilizó el Test de Adherencia al Tratamiento de Morisky, Green y Levine. Resultados: Predominó el sexo femenino (62%), los participantes entre 50 a 59 años fueron los que más participaron (59%); cerca de la mitad de los participantes había concluido la primaria (46%), y la mayoría de ellos reportaron tener pareja (69%). El 23% de los participantes reportaron tener 3 años con DT2, solo el 38% de los encuestados realizan ejercicio físico de 10 a 15 minutos al día y el 28% no realizaba ejercicio físico; la mayoría se encontraba con un tratamiento farmacológico basado en hipoglucemiantes orales (82%). La edad se asoció con la adherencia al tratamiento (p<0.005). Conclusiones: La edad fue la única característica sociodemográfica que se asoció significativamente con la adherencia al tratamiento en personas adultas mexicanas con Diabetes Tipo 2. El personal de salud, principalmente los que se encuentran en el primer nivel de atención, deben de enfocarse a promover la adherencia al tratamiento en pacientes que padecen DT2, teniendo en cuenta sus características sociodemográficas, particularmente la edad.

          Abstract: Objective: To establish the association of sociodemographic characteristics and treatment adherence in Mexican adults with Type 2 Diabetes. Materials and Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was made in Mexican adults over 18 years with Type 2 Diabetes who attended a diabetes clinic of a public hospital. The sample were 100 adults. Conscious adults, diagnosed with DT2, with a minimum evolution of three years with the diagnostic were included. The Morisky, Green and Levine´s test was used to identify the adherence to the treatment. Results: The female sex predominated (62%), the adults between 50-59 years were the most representative group (59%); el 46% had primary school and 69% were married. The 23% of the sample has 3 years with the diagnostic, only 38% of the respondents do exercise 10-15 minutes a day and 28% did not do exercise; the majority report having a pharmacological treatment based on oral hypoglycemic agents (82%). The age was associate with the adherence to the treatment (p<.005). Conclusions: Age was the only sociodemographic characteristic that was significantly associated with adherence to treatment in Mexican adults with Type 2 Diabetes. Health personnel, mainly those at the first level of care, should focus on promoting adherence to treatment in patients suffering from DT2, taking into account their sociodemographic characteristics, especially age.

              Poor medication adherence in type 2 diabetes: recognizing the scope of the problem and its key contributors

              At least 45% of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) fail to achieve adequate glycemic control (HbA1c <7%). One of the major contributing factors is poor medication adherence. Poor medication adherence in T2D is well documented to be very common and is associated with inadequate glycemic control; increased morbidity and mortality; and increased costs of outpatient care, emergency room visits, hospitalization, and managing complications of diabetes. Poor medication adherence is linked to key nonpatient factors (eg, lack of integrated care in many health care systems and clinical inertia among health care professionals), patient demographic factors (eg, young age, low education level, and low income level), critical patient beliefs about their medications (eg, perceived treatment inefficacy), and perceived patient burden regarding obtaining and taking their medications (eg, treatment complexity, out-of-pocket costs, and hypoglycemia). Specific barriers to medication adherence in T2D, especially those that are potentially modifiable, need to be more clearly identified; strategies that target poor adherence should focus on reducing medication burden and addressing negative medication beliefs of patients. Solutions to these problems would require behavioral innovations as well as new methods and modes of drug delivery.
