Abstract

Purpose: The study conducted to identify the status of treatment adherence, and factors related to treatment adherence in COPD outpatient.
Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 420 COPD out-patients from April 2021 to August 2022. Treatment adherence was assessed through 2 checklists, including adherent inhaled drugs, and adherent breathing exercises. Descriptive statistics, multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to data analyzed.
Findings: 36.9% of participants were being assessed treatment adherence, of which 44.7% adhered to inhaled drugs using, and 36.9% adhered to breathing exercises practice. For correlated factor, smoking was related to treatment adherence (p<0.05).
Unique contributor to theory, policy and practice: Patient's knowledge about control COPD, practicing breathing exercises, and treatment adherence level were low. Therefore, intervention programs to support patients improving these problems, thereby enhancing patient's quality of life is necessary.
