No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2009 / INTRODUÇÃO: Um dos aspectos importantes que frequentemente prejudica a obtenção dos resultados pretendidos com a terapêutica medicamentosa é a não adesão à prescrição médica. Segundo a Organização Mundial de Saúde, os portadores de doenças crônicas são potenciais candidatos ao seguimento inadequado à terapêutica medicamentosa. Estudos relatam que a baixa adesão no Lúpus Eritematoso Sistêmico (LES) pode conduzir à recaídas e potenciais danos ao organismo, aumento da frequência às consultas e admissões hospitalares, conclusões erradas sobre a eficácia da terapêutica e perda de recursos das instituições de saúde. Em países em desenvolvimento existem poucas informações a cerca de quais fatores estariam mais relacionados à adesão no LES. OBJETIVOS: Estimar a prevalência da adesão à terapêutica medicamentosa e analisar associações com as características do regime de tratamento, da doença, das questões demográficas, sociais e econômicas, e dos profissionais e serviços de saúde em pacientes com LES. MATERIAL/MÉTODO: Desenvolveu-se estudo com delineamento transversal em amostra aleatória composta de 246 mulheres com LES atendidas em hospital universitário na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Os dados foram coletados entre março e agosto/2008, por meio de entrevistas individuais e revisão de prontuários. Utilizaram-se os critérios de Morisk para avaliar a adesão. A análise considerou as variáveis de exposição em três níveis de hierarquia: distal, intermediário e proximal. Na análise bivariada utilizou-se a regressão logística e na multivariada a regressão logística hierarquizada. (...)CONCLUSÃO: Os dados do estudo realizado indicaram que a adesão à terapêutica medicamentosa no LES é um fenômeno complexo e multifatorial. A análise hierarquizada revelou-se uma boa alternativa para avaliar a adesão, pois permitiu visualizar as diversas etapas da análise. A identificação e análise dos fatores que podem levar à não adesão à terapêutica medicamentosa, nos pacientes com LES, permitirão desenvolver ações de saúde pública para reduzir as barreiras no tratamento, assim como os custos assistenciais e, principalmente promover melhor qualidade de vida dos pacientes. / INTRODUCTION: Nonadherence to medication is one of the critical aspects that may very often jeopardize the intended results of treatment based on medical prescriptions. According to the World Health Organization chronic disease patients are potential candidates to inadequate follow up in therapeutic medication. Some studies reported that a low adherence to medication in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) may lead to residiva and potential harm to patients, raise the frequency of visits to medical offices and hospital admissions, may lead to wrong conclusions about the efficacy of therapeutics and significant losses of health resources. There are only a few studies in developing countries about intervening factors related to SLE medical adherence. OBJECTIVES: To estimate adherence to medications in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and analyze associations with characteristics of treatment, with illness, with social, economic and demographic factors and with caracteristics of medical professional and health services in patients of SLE. METHODS: a cross-seccional study was conducted in a random sample of 246 women patients with SLE attending a University Hospital in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Data were collected between March and August 2008 using face-to-face interviews and medical records review. Morisk’s criteria were used to evaluate adherence to medication. The analysis included exposure variables divided into 3 hierarchical levels: distal, intermediate and proximal. The bivariate analysis used logistic regression and multivariate analysis used hierarchized regression model. RESULTS: Demographic and social data showed predominance of black and mestizo women aged 41 ± 12.35 years with completed secondary school, per capita income of 1.27 ± 1.35 average minimum wage. The number of medications in use was 5 ± 2.48, prednisone being the most used. In the interviewed group 31.7% were classified as adherent to medication. Reasons for nonadherence were careless with the time of taking the medications (52.43%), orgetting (38.21%), side effects (13.8%) and stopping the medication when feeling better (7.72%).The multivariate hierarchical regression showed that the factors associated with adherence were: behavior to side effects, hematological changes, mucocutaneous manifestations, legibility of medical prescriptions, education and family support. CONCLUSION: Data from the study indicated that adherence to medication in SLE is a complex, multi-factorial phenomenon. Hierarchized model analysis seemed to be a valuable method to evaluate adherence to medication because it allowed to view the various stages of analysis. Identification and analysis of the various factors that may interfere with adherence to medication in patients with SLE will permit to develop public health actions to reduce barriers in the treatment as well as to reduce health costs and, most important, to improve patients life quality.
