Abstract

The risk of non-adherence is the risk of the patient’s behaviour not corresponding with agreed recommendations from the healthcare provider. Self-report instruments can be Poke-Yoke strategy application tool in the assessment of the risk of non-adherence. The problem in the existing measures is that most of them apply solely to the course of treatment and focus exclusively in pharmacological therapy or, even considering more than just medication-taking behaviours, they were built to assess adherence in specific medical conditions. The aim of this paper is to discuss the existing methodologies and instruments to assess the risk of non-adherence to treatment in chronic conditions as diabetes, renal insufficiency and oral disease. This chapter shows the need to develop a standard tool to help clinicians in early detecting and predicting the risk of non-adherence in chronic conditions. It allows to improve the working conditions, adapting the therapeutic plan in the most effective way.
