Medication adherence was assessed in 89 patients on hemodialysis (HD) at the King Abdul Aziz Medical City using an Arabic version of the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MASS-8). The results of the study revealed that 31.46% and 40.45% of the participants showed low and medium adherence, respectively, while 28.09% showed high medication adherence. Accordingly, 71.91% of the patients visiting the dialysis unit were considered medication non-adherent. While being of older age (P = 0.012), being married (P = 0.012) increased the level of adherence, being of medium level of education (P = 0.024) decreased adherence levels. On the other hand, gender, presence of a care-giver, number of members in the household and employment status seems to have no effect on the level of medication adherence. These results call upon the practitioners in HD units to develop intervention programs that can increase the level of medication adherence.
在阿卜杜勒阿齐兹国王医疗城，使用阿拉伯语版的莫里西药物依从性量表（MASS - 8）对89名接受血液透析（HD）的患者的药物依从性进行了评估。研究结果显示，分别有31.46%和40.45%的参与者表现出低依从性和中等依从性，而28.09%表现出高药物依从性。因此，到透析科就诊的患者中有71.91%被认为药物不依从。年龄较大（P = 0.012）、已婚（P = 0.012）会提高依从性水平，而中等教育水平（P = 0.024）会降低依从性水平。另一方面，性别、是否有护理人员、家庭人口数量和就业状况似乎对药物依从性水平没有影响。这些结果呼吁血液透析科室的从业者制定能够提高药物依从性水平的干预项目。
