Medication taking terminology is often used incorrectly or inconsistently in the world literature and the meaning of the terms is interchanged. The aim of the work was to map the Czech literature and find out whether Czech authors use terminology related to medication adherence and whether they are consistent in defining it.
Based on the methodological instructions for the translation of the so-called ABC Taxonomy introduced by International Society for Medication Adherence (ESPACOMP), a search of Czech literature published until September 22nd, 2021 in the databases ProLékaře.cz, BMČ, PubMed, and Solen was prepared. Morphological variants of keywords were used for the search: compliance, adherence, initiation, implementation, discontinuation, persistence, concordance.
A total of 125 Czech publications from 1998 to 2021 were identified, of which 79 defined specific terms. These included: adherence, persistence, compliance, concordance; the terms for compliance and adherence were interchanged in 14 publications. Publications focused on the treatment of specific diseases were the most common. Only five sources dealt with the issue of medication adherence as a theme without relation to a specific nosological unit.
Inconsistency in the use of terms related to medication adherence has proven to be a very common phenomenon in the Czech literature. It is, therefore, necessary to establish a consensus on this terminology in order to unify Czech literature.
服药术语在世界文献中经常被错误使用或使用不一致，这些术语的含义也相互混淆。本研究的目的是梳理捷克文献，了解捷克作者是否使用与药物依从性相关的术语，以及他们在定义这些术语时是否一致。
根据国际药物依从性协会（ESPACOMP）引入的所谓ABC分类法的翻译方法指南，对截至2021年9月22日在ProLékaře.cz、BMČ、PubMed和Solen数据库中发表的捷克文献进行检索。检索使用了关键词的形态变体：依从性、坚持性、起始、实施、停药、持续性、一致性。
共识别出1998年至2021年的125篇捷克出版物，其中79篇对特定术语进行了定义。这些术语包括：坚持性、持续性、依从性、一致性；在14篇出版物中，依从性和坚持性这两个术语的使用相互混淆。关注特定疾病治疗的出版物最为常见。只有五篇文献将药物依从性问题作为一个主题，而不涉及特定的疾病单元。
在捷克文献中，与药物依从性相关的术语使用不一致已被证明是一种非常普遍的现象。因此，有必要就这一术语达成共识，以统一捷克文献。
