Medication related burden is the overall workload imposed on the patients resulting from all aspects of utilizing healthcare. It can lead to non-adherence and poor clinical outcomes, as well as affecting patient satisfaction, psychological well-being, social functioning, and quality of life. Even though studying medication related burden is essential to measure the impact of medicines use from the patient’s perspective and important as a key step to designing and delivering minimally disruptive medicine to diabetes patients, it is less well defined and less researched. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate perceived medication-related burden, adherence and associated factors in diabetes mellitus patients attending the outpatient clinic at Felege Hiwot Compressive and Specialized Hospital, North-west Ethiopia, 2020. |
