Combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) for HIV is widely available in sub-Saharan Africa. Adherence is crucial to successful treatment. This study aimed to apply an extended theory of planned behaviour (TPB) model to predict objectively measured adherence to cART in Tanzania.
Prospective observational study (n = 158) where patients completed questionnaires on demographics (Month 0), socio-cognitive variables including intentions (Month 1), and action planning and self-regulatory processes hypothesised to mediate the intention-behaviour relationship (Month 3), to predict adherence (Month 5).
Taking adherence was measured objectively using the Medication Events Monitoring System (MEMS) caps. Model tests were conducted using regression and bootstrap mediation analyses.
Perceived behavioural control (PBC) was positively (β = .767, p < .001, R = 57.5%) associated with adherence intentions. Intentions only exercised an indirect effect on adherence (B = 1.29 [0.297-3.15]) through self-regulatory processes (B = 1.10 [0.131-2.87]). Self-regulatory processes (β = .234, p = .010, R = 14.7%) predicted better adherence.
This observational study using an objective behavioural measure, identified PBC as the main driver of adherence intentions. The effect of intentions on adherence was only indirect through self-regulatory processes, which were the main predictor of objectively assessed adherence.
抗逆转录病毒联合疗法(cART)在撒哈拉以南非洲地区已广泛应用于治疗艾滋病。坚持治疗对于成功治疗至关重要。本研究旨在应用扩展的计划行为理论(TPB)模型来预测坦桑尼亚客观测量的cART治疗依从性。
前瞻性观察性研究(n = 158),患者在第0个月完成关于人口统计学的问卷调查,在第1个月完成包括治疗意愿在内的社会认知变量调查,在第3个月完成假设用于调节意愿与行为关系的行动计划和自我调节过程调查,以预测第5个月的依从性。
使用药物事件监测系统(MEMS)帽客观测量服药依从性。使用回归分析和引导中介分析进行模型测试。
感知行为控制(PBC)与治疗意愿呈正相关(β = 0.767,p < 0.001,R = 57.5%)。意愿仅通过自我调节过程对依从性产生间接影响(B = 1.29 [0.297 - 3.15]),自我调节过程(B = 1.10 [0.131 - 2.87])。自我调节过程(β = 0.234,p = 0.010,R = 14.7%)可预测更好的依从性。
这项使用客观行为测量的观察性研究确定PBC是治疗意愿的主要驱动因素。意愿对依从性的影响仅通过自我调节过程产生间接影响,而自我调节过程是客观评估依从性的主要预测因素。
