Studies of compliance with drug treatment in the elderly have mainly focused on treatment variables, and patient knowledge or comprehension. However, information on behavioral aspects is sparse. Therefore, interviews concerning medication were performed in 31 geriatric patients, mean age 79.6 years. The aim was to evaluate whether there were relations between coping with health problems and attitudes towards/taking of medication prescribed. It was concluded from the analysis of these tape-recorded interviews that different forms of coping strategies were reflected by patients' attitudes towards taking of medicines. There was a high degree of competence perceived by patients, and objectively as well. Nevertheless, when taking drugs patients surprisingly often relied on other persons' support.
针对老年人药物治疗依从性的研究主要集中在治疗变量以及患者的知识或理解方面。然而，关于行为方面的信息却很匮乏。因此，我们对31名老年患者进行了关于用药情况的访谈，这些患者的平均年龄为79.6岁。目的是评估应对健康问题与对所开药物的态度/用药情况之间是否存在关联。通过对这些录音访谈的分析得出结论，患者对服药的态度反映了不同形式的应对策略。患者自身以及客观上都感觉到有很高的能力。然而，令人惊讶的是，患者在服药时常常依赖他人的支持。
