Medication adherence is problematic in people with chronic illness. The purpose of this exploratory study was to examine the effects of the perceived support from significant others on the oral antipsychotic medication taking of consumers with schizophrenia. A convenience sample of 81 consumers took part in the study. The consumers were recruited by case managers from the community in the western region of Melbourne and in regional and rural Victoria, Australia. No difference was found in self-reported medication adherence between the consumers with significant others' support and those without significant others' support. The perceived effect of having a supportive relationship with significant others was not associated with increased medication adherence. The findings indicated that the significant others' support did not influence the self-reported medication adherence of the consumers with schizophrenia. The results highlighted the importance of considering medication adherence as a multidimensional concept.
在慢性病患者中，药物依从性是一个问题。本探索性研究的目的是检验来自重要他人的感知支持对精神分裂症患者口服抗精神病药物服用的影响。 81 名消费者参加了这项研究。这些消费者是由澳大利亚墨尔本西部地区和维多利亚州地区和农村的社区的个案经理招募的。有重要他人支持的消费者和没有重要他人支持的消费者的自我报告药物依从性没有差异。与重要他人建立支持性关系的感知效果与增加药物依从性无关。研究结果表明，重要他人的支持并没有影响精神分裂症患者自我报告的药物依从性。研究结果强调了将药物依从性视为一个多维概念的重要性。
