Medication compliance and diet compliance in 309 oral lichen planus patients

Abstract

Abstract: PURPOSE: To assess oral lichen planus (OLP) patients' medication compliance and diet compliance, and investigated their influential factors. METHODS: Three hundred and nine OLP patients' medication compliance and diet compliance were assessed by self-designed questionnaire and Morisky scale. A cross-sectional observational descriptive study was undertaken. The data were analyzed by Chi-square test and Logistic test using SPSS 16.0 software package. RESULTS: OLP patients' medication compliance rate was 55.7%, and diet compliance rate was 89%. Patients' unhealthy diet habit and knowledge level of OLP were dramatically correlated with patients' diet compliance; however, none of the factors was found to be associated with medication compliance. Drug use inconvenience, forgetting to take medicine and worrying about side effects were the main reasons for medication noncompliance. CONCLUSIONS: OLP patients' treatment compliance was affected by multiple factors, which need integrated efforts including government, medical personnel, and patients to building up an effective patients' management mechanism including reminding, monitoring, and instruction.
