ABSTRACT

Objectives: This study is a descriptive survey research aimed at identifying the factors associated with medication adherence in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. Methods: Data were collected from October to December 2023, including 120 men diagnosed with BPH at the urology department of a general hospital located in U city, Gyeonggi-do. Results: The findings indicated that higher medication adherence was associated with older age and a greater number of comorbid chronic diseases. Furthermore, higher levels of family support and medication self-efficacy were found to significantly correlate with better medication adherence. Conclusions: Based on these results, nursing interventions should be developed to enhance factors associated with medication adherence. Additionally, it is necessary to develop various family counseling programs to strengthen family support and implement comprehensive health promotion programs.
