There is a positive attitude toward the physician forming a working alliance.
The patients' compliance with suggested treatment plans determines the quality of healthcare results. A significant financial burden as well as a widespread threat to health and welfare can result from patient non adherence. More than 40% of patients who misinterpret, neglect, or disobey medical instructions run serious risks in various chronic situations. Although there is no one intervention technique that can increase patient adherence for all patients, decades of research studies have found that effective efforts to increase patient adherence depend on a number of essential elements. These include a realistic evaluation of the degree to which patients are aware of and comprehend the regimen, effective and clear communication between medical staff and their patients, and the promotion of confidence in the therapeutic alliance.
