Resumo(s)
Non‐adherence to therapeutic with chronic treatments may compromise patient health,
increase care costs and lead to unnecessary consultations and diagnoses, as well as additional
treatments with potentially serious side effects1‐5, which can cause significant negative
impacts on patients' quality of life5. Chronic diseases, due to their intrinsic nature, are
particularly susceptible to non‐adhesion5. According to the World Health Organization (WHO),
inadequate adherence to drug therapy in chronic diseases is considered a worldwide problem
of great magnitude6. In developed countries only 50% of individuals suffering from chronic diseases adhere to drug treatments. While precarious access to health care, lack of adequate
diagnosis and limited access to medicines, and poor adherence to drug therapy in developing
countries are conditions that challenge successful chronic disease.
