Abstract

Current research reviews the literature on adherence to drug treatments in non-transmissible diseases. Review of the literature was based on scientific articles from the database of the Scientific Electronic Library Online, SciELO, covering the period between 22nd September 2005 and 22nd September 2010, by feeding the keywords "adherence," "adherence to drug treatment”, "adherence" and "adherence to treatment." Twenty-eight articles were retrieved, twelve of which were excluded because they did not fit the theme. Key findings were organized into four categories, namely, bibliographical reviews; studies on caregivers, relatives and patients’ medical records; studies on people with diabetes and hypertension; studies involving patients with other non-transmissible chronic diseases. In the above mentioned studies, the factors that determine non-adherence to drug treatment by people with chronic diseases comprise type of proposed treatment, personal traits and quality of care by the health service concerned.
