Trust and communication are two elements critical in optimizing adherence. Numerous studies show that physician trust is more important than treatment satisfaction in predicting adherence to prescribed therapy and overall satisfaction with care.

    A Duty to Care: The Role of a Nurse in Circumstances of Patient Nonadherence Health care professionals are all too often aware of the lifestyle choices that have led the patient to seek treatment in their care. However, the implications of these lifestyle choices and issues that can arise from nonadherence are often downplayed or simply disregarded by the patients despite the urgency of the matter being expressed by the health care professionals. In other words, sometimes, the patients refuse to alter their lifestyle for the preservation of their own health. This can be frustrating, to say the very least, but it does not, under any circumstances, dismiss the health care professionals from their duty of care (Laken, 1983).…

Health care professionals must comprehend issues and trends; more lives could be saved. Based on individual right to self-determination and autonomy I don’t think that patient consent form adequately informs patient to their medical rights.

    The model fits a patient education approach to resolving the problem with poor patient compliance. Using HPM, the nurse takes on the role of educator and performs the initial task of assessing the patient’s perception of health in order to develop individual plans of care. This allows the nurse to create a comprehensive plan tailored to the individual patient so that the patient is able to achieve optimal self-care and disease prevention. By performing a thorough assessment and constructing a highly individualized plan of care, the nurse is able to focus on the patient’s strengths and identify weaknesses that prevent the patient from achieving compliance, and to take responsibility for their role in their own health and wellness. Empowering the patients will motivate them to make the necessary changes in behavior as well as their environment in order to promote better health outcomes (Petiprin,…
